Chord Overstreet‘s character Sam Evans tranferred to Glee‘s Mckinley High at the beginning of season two, but now he’s transferring out of the school and out of the series. Not that it’s his choice–Overstreet had his series regular option declined by Glee creator Ryan Murphy and his staff.

While Overstreet was an important part of this season, the whole “is-he-or-isn’t-he” gay storyline ended when he unsuccessful offered Dianna Agron‘s character, Quinn a promise ring. Overstreet told Ryan Seacrest last October that his character was originally written as a boyfriend for Chris Colfer‘s character, but his chemistry with Agron led to a completely different character for Sam Evans.

When the news broke on Friday, Darren Criss, who plays Colfer’s on-screen boyfriend, and Harry Shum Jr., who plays Mike, both got the good news that they would become series regulars.

It’s been reported that there’s still a chance that Overstreet will return as a guest.

Big mistake, Murphy. He’s one of the only semi-believable characters on Glee. Sad to see him go.
