Glee actress Ashley Fink has confirmed that her character Lauren has been dropped from the show, after viewers noticed she hadn’t been seen since the season premiere in September.
Ryan Murphy had apparently promised a big storyline was in store for the character, but it never materialised.
Speaking to The Insider, she said:
“It is what it is. Lauren’s somewhere in that school, she’s just not on camera or being talked about [laughs]. She’s involved in activities that aren’t televised. Of course I miss me on Glee. I miss everybody. I miss the fun experience that show is.”
Asked if she was angry about her casual departure, she replied:
“Glee is very much a fly by the seat of your pants [operation] in the way that best laid plans never quite come together. They have so many [characters] to take care of and I think once they made the decision that all these characters were going to graduate, it shifted the way this season was going to go.”
There’s still a Whitney Houston tribute and a body swap twist in store before the current run of the show draws to a close next month.
