The first day at a new school is always full of daunting challenges. Will I be able to find my classes? Who will I sit next to in the cafeteria? What flavor slushie will be thrown in my face (orange, we hope!)? If you're a fan of FOX's fantastic "Glee," you know the students of McKinley High (however fictional it may be) aren't immune to such concerns. Especially the entering freshmen. We caught up with a slew of the series' new stars at the "Glee" red carpet premiere, and they spilled about what's to come for their characters and the intense (sorta) initiation process.
"I'm raw meat, fresh," newbie Chord Overstreet, who plays footballer (and maybe boyfriend to Kurt) Sam, joked of the on-set "hazing" rituals."There's candles involved, a bunch of, like, Satanic rituals. Just some hazing, some general hazing. Little pranks here and there, nothing big, but I mean everybody was really welcoming when I came in."
Someone you probably wouldn't want to pull pranks on is the town dentist (he has a drill, after all!). If you've watched TV sometime during, say, the last 30 years, this face isn't a new one. John Stamos is taking on the toothy role of Emma's (Jayma Mays) suitor Dr. Howell. In between cleanings, John will also get to show-off his song and dance skills (sans The Rippers, unfort). "In the 'Rocky Horror Picture' episode, I'm singing on that one, which is coming up soon," John spilled, adding, "I've been pitching [Beach Boys songs] like crazy, and they never respond."
Another character you might want to watch your step around is Dot Jones' Shannon Beiste, the new football coach who takes on McKinley High's most formidable figure: Sue Sylvester! "Already off the bat, I'm going toe-to-toe with Jane Lynch's character," she said. "She's one mean broad."
