We might’ve gotten much more if it wasn’t for behind-the-scenes drama.

If you have been watching Glee and following the most discussed behind-the-scenes drama in the fandom, you may be aware of the speculation that Ryan Murphy is not particularly fond of some cast members.

Dianna Agron, who played Quinn Fabray on the show, is said to be one of those people who had a major conflict with a showrunner that later affected her character.

Quinn, who started out as a cheerleader at the top of the popularity pyramid at McKinley High, went through hell and back but still had almost no significant dialogue or plot.

One very promising arc for Quinn (that never went anywhere) was the beginning of season 3, when she seemed to come back to school with a whole new persona.

Pink-haired "Skank" Quinn was rebellious, wouldn't put down a cigarette for a second, and unfortunately stayed with us for about a minute before going back to her normal blonde self.

Although the audience tends to love Quinn the way she is, even if the writers clearly do not, it felt like a completely missed opportunity.

First of all, it would be extremely fun to see Quinn explore herself through a subculture after having done so through religion for the past two seasons. Second, Glee Club never had anyone who could fill the rock song quota, and Quinn would fit right in with her raspy voice and attitude.

Fans wish Glee would give her a chance to explore the music of all kinds of bands, starting with the more pop-sounding but very relatable to many teens at the time Panic! At The Disco, 30 Seconds To Mars and My Chemical Romance to the industrial Nine Inch Nails.

Unfortunately, all Quinn Fabray stans got out of this story was a few minutes of footage and a lot of ideas for the fanfiction, which they executed perfectly.

If you are feeling nostalgic and want to throw a Glee re-watch party, you can stream the show on Hulu Plus or Disney Plus.
