After dumping four original cast members, Glee has decided to make its five new entries from last season, full-timers. Melissa Benoist (Marley), Jacob Artist (Jake), Becca Tobin (Kitty), Alex Newell (Wade), and Blake Jenner (Ryder) have all been upped to regulars for the coming season. Newell and Jenner both come from The Glee Project, so this is extra special, as their 7 episode arcs turned into profitable series regular gigs.
