Ryan Murphy may have recently revealed that some of Glee's most popular characters would be cut from season 4, but at this weekend's Comic-Con the show's executive producer gave a conflicting report. 

Speaking to a packed audience at the event, Brad Falchuk explained that just because the stars are graduating from the fictional high school it doesn't mean that they're leaving the hit series:

"Here's the exact thing: [Rachel, Kurt and Finn] are seniors so they're graduating, but because they're graduating doesn't mean they're leaving the show. If you have Lea Michele under contract, you don't just say, 'We're gonna let you go.'"
