New 'Glee' will 'focus on original cast'

The creator of Glee has promised that the show's second season will focus on the original cast members.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Ryan Murphy explained that guest stars such as Charice and John Stamos will develop the current cast's plots.

"They're really there to support the main characters' stories," he said. "Like John Stamos is always going to be a part of Will's story. The emphasis in the second season is on our original characters even though we're adding a few smaller parts. You're gonna get more backstory on all of these kids."

However, Murphy explained that he is planning to expand Heather Morris's character Brittany because of the positive reaction from fans.

He revealed that Brittany will have her own episode, adding: "I feel an obligation to write more for people we already have that are great."

Glee will return for its second season in the US in the autumn.
