Will Gloria Estefan Return to GLEE? ‘I Sure Hope So,’ She Says

GLEE has had a fair number of guest stars announced for the upcoming fourth season, but one name that has been MIA — so far — is Gloria Estefan, who signed on for an arc as Santana’s mother…and only ended up appearing in the season finale.

Estefan spoke with reporters earlier today while promoting her new singing competition series THE NEXT (which debuts Thursday, August 16th on The CW), and when I questioned whether she’d be back on GLEE, she was quick to reply back, “I sure hope so!” She reiterated that GLEE co-creator Ryan Murphy has expressed that he wanted to do an arc with her until Whitney Houston’s untimely passing led to a shift in the storytelling.

Take a look at the video below as Estefan talks about that, what she’d like to do if she returns to GLEE, why she was happy to not sing in her first episode…
