GLEE's season three finale is coming up on Tuesday, May 22, and fans are still buzzing about which characters will be back after graduation. Creator Ryan Murphy told Vulture: 'A lot of people have been writing Dianna's off the show, Amber's off the show - they're not off the show. I think Amber was talking about that bittersweet feeling of, 'I'll never be in the choir room with that exact group of people.' At least that's what she told me ... When I read that [tweet,] I said, 'I think people will misconstrue that.' She's excited about where her character is going. They all are. I wanted to do the right thing by all of them.'
