But eventually, he returned to Glee as a guest star, rejoining the cast in the eighth episode and for the rest of the season.
Speaking of guest stars, two new Glee cast members were announced. Dean Geyer will play a love interest for Rachel, while Jacob Artist will appear as Puck’s younger half brother, Jake.
It had already been announced that Lea Michele is set to appear in every Season 4 episode, while fellow Glee graduates, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera will have major storylines this season.
At today’s TCA executive session, FOX honcho, Kevin Reilly said some of the recent glee graduates, which would include Amber Riley (Mercedes), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Mark Salling (Puck) and Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) will only make a few special appearances in the coming season.
