As the final episodes of Glee inspire a wave of nostalgia and bittersweet memories for both fans and stars of the show, it appears that even the popular small screen series still has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. Following the victory of the New Directions over the Vocal Adrenalins in the most recently aired episode of the show, many fans and followers of the show simply assumed that the defeat of the latter also marked the end of Sue Sylvester's prominence as a character. However, it seems that the show's creators might want to end everyone's storyline on a positive note, as revealed in an interview of TV Guide with Jane Lynch, the actress portraying the formidable Sylvester.
According to Lynch, her character, known as the tough and competitive coach of the William McKinley High School cheerleading squad as well as a cruel bully of both students and faculty members alike, might actually redeem herself in the next episodes of the show. With her influence in the locality, Coach Sylvester might be able to turn things around not only for the Glee club kids but also for her own peace of mind.
"In the end... she uses her power for good as opposed to evil," Lynch reveals during the interview. Moreover, the actress disclosed that the hardened personality of the coach might have been "softened" by the influence of Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison. "I think Will has softened her and has brought out the good in her, and we see that at the end," the actress added.
Another spoiler information revealed by the Glee star was the final number of her character and Schuester. "We do a number together in the last episode, an ABBA number," Lynch revealed. Despite this detail, however, the actress refused to reveal anything more about the performance.
Lynch's portrayal of Coach Sylvester has gained the actress quite a number of awards including Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Series, Miniseries, or Television Film Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress - Series, Miniseries, or Television Film, and TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy.
