This is sad news for us "Glee" fans, but we suppose that those Gleeks can't stay young forever. Ryan Murphy spoke with Ryan Seacrest on Friday morning and not only announced his engagement to an unknown mystery man, but also mentioned that the "Glee" cast would be undergoing some major renovations in coming years.

As the New Directions kids, like Rachel (Lea Michele), Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Quinn (Dianna Agron) graduate -- which they will -- we won't suddenly see "Glee: The College Years." Instead, they'll be replaced by a freshman class of new talent.

"We've got Matt Morrison and Jane Lynch, who will stay and be the male and female linchpins of the series, but I think the fun thing about the show is it's a celebration of youth and talent," Murphy says. "I think that just like with the original cast, I think finding those young unknown people and giving them an opportunity to break into the business and become stars is a really fun and exciting thing and is the spirit of the series."

Also: Ryan Murphy engaged

Murphy would prefer not to think of it as a negative thing. "I don't think of it in terms of eliminating or replacing," he says, "because I think the thing about this cast is people love them and they are incredibly talented. They've left sort of an indelible mark."

Who will you miss the most when the dreaded graduation day comes along?

As long as Brittany stays, it's all good.

I have a love hate relationship with the show because of its pathetic storytelling, but that may change. I saw that Marty Noxon is set to come on as a consultant, and the lady knows how to tell a story.

"Am I missing something she did to deserve the hate spewed her way?"

She became famous.

She's a tool.

And I've worked with her.

Marti has joined as consultant? She was headwriter for my fave season of Buffy when Joss Whedon was busy with other projects, so that could be great. I wish it would be Ryan Murphy--someone who comes up with some great concepts and early eps and on every single thing he's worked on quickly completely burns out--who was leaving.

"Pure BroadwayWorld jealousy. She has a career in the industry, and 99% of the posters here do not. It all makes sense now"

Did you see where I said I had worked with her before, you know, in the industry?

She's still a tool.

---

Yes. . .who cares.

You worked with her, and now she's on a HUGE TV series and has some self-confidence. That makes her a tool.

Now, what is it you are doing?

But Sutton Foster is so amazing?

I must have missed her Glee episode.

Sorry by they I meant most.

I seriously don't understand some of you on here. I don't understand how you can hate these certain voices. It makes me wonder what voices you think are "good". It's disturbing to me.

"Now, what is it you are doing?"

Working on projects that you will pay money someday to see.

I've been working in the industry before Lea was even born.

And if her performances of the songs from the show are any indication, then I think there are better choices for a Fanny out there.

I'm not getting into details here.

I will say that when the director made her cry, it made me a little happy inside.
