There is no doubt about it...Karofsky's storyline on the "Glee" winter finale was one of the most emotional plots to date. Tortured and bullied about his sexuality, the once cocky football player took drastic measures to end his pain. Fortunately, his suicide attempt failed. But the fall out from this sequence of events was seen in a ripple effect throughout the monumental episode.
Kurt was definitely hit hard by the news that Karofsky tried to take his own life. Filled with guilt and remorse, Kurt struggled with how to make things right with his former bully. Could this all just be foreshadowing for a new romance between the two friends? Max Adler answered that exact question in a new interview out today.
"I think there’s been too much history between the two of them to just completely forget about that and start a full-fledged romance. I think at this point, Karofsky is still dealing with his own struggles and his own identity and is not really stable or healthy enough to jump into a real relationship. I think at this point, Kurt is just an incredible friend, and in a way, a mentor for Karofsky. And I think at this point in their lives, Kurt is just an incredible friend that Karofsky truly needs. And my analogy in reading the script is picturing Karofsky hanging off a cliff by a really thin rope, and Kurt is the only one that is hanging onto him to bring him out from the depths of that."
The future of Karofsky lies in the hands of the writers. But Max is hopeful that there will be more development for his character this season.
"It could end here. But my personal thought is that there might be something else down the line to show where Karofsky goes post-hospital. But that’s all up to the writers. They’ve done everything amazingly well and treated this character with incredible consistency and honesty and integrity. Whatever they do, I think it will be genius."
Karofsky isn't the only character whose fate on the show is undecided. With Quinn's dramatic accident last night, it is likely that the cast will be attending a funeral in the near future.
"Glee" returns April 10 with the final series of episodes for season 3.
