“You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic,” Murphy tells The Hollywood Reporter, “or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.  I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea,” he says. “They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top. I’m much more interested in Lea’s character — not so much on her relationship with Finn, but more on what her dreams are beyond high school and how she plans on getting them,” he adds. “That’s what my senior year was about.”

What do you think?  Is this going to kill the show or only make it stronger?  I can’t decide.  I know that I have a hard time with “change” on my favorite shows.  This one is going to be so drastic.  Not sure how to take it yet.
