From doctor to dentist – ER star John Stamos is in negotiations to join red-hot Fox musical dramedy Glee in a heavily recurring role next season. He will play a new love interest for lovable OCD guidance councelor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays). In tonight’s freshman season finale of Glee, SPOILER ALERT Emma will tell on-and-off flame Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) that she is dating a dentist. That is the character that Stamos will play next season.
UPDATE: Two Gleeks who commented on the story noted Emma Pillsbury’s Stamos quip in Episode 3: “They say it takes certainty more than talent to make a star – I mean, look at John Stamos.” I wonder if she spots the resemblance…
Stamos, repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment, has a solid Broadway resume, which includes roles in Cabaret, Nine, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying and, most recently, Bye Bye Birdie. In primetime, he most recently starred on NBC’s ER, on which he played paramedic-turned-intern Tony Gates.

The men of GLEE are cute ‘n all…
But this addition of STAMOS is HOT!
yeah I was just sayin the SAME thing, they are cute , but there are NO HUNKS on the show!
Great idea!
Think we rep him…
This is huge!
When is Mandy Patinkin going to play Rachel’s Dad?
In the first episode of Season One, we saw the photo of Rachel’s dads in her locker. Remember? Mandy Patinkin could possibly play her grandfather or uncle, but not papa.
Mandy Patinkin would make a wonderful recurring guest. He would be on Glee just long enough for us to love and connect with his character – and then “something” would come up and he would inexplicably quit and leave us hanging.
Hilarious Elinor! LOL!
Love the way your (criminal) mind works, Elinor!
“In tonight’s freshman season finale of Glee, Emma will tell on-and-off flame Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) that she is dating a dentist.”
Uhm, for those of us who watch the show, how about a “spoiler alert?”
Seriously? Did that really spoil some major plot point for you? Oh, by the way, in the next episode, the kids *sing*….. gasp!
We want Emma with Will :’( :’( I hope Emma don’t end up falling for this “dentist.” Us Wemma fans will be crushed!:(
FYI, there couple is called Willma :]
Really? Does no one remember Miss Pillsbury’s Stamos quip in Episode 3: “They say it takes certainty more than talent to make a star – I mean, look at John Stamos” and now she’s going to date him! Who next for Glee, Kristen Stewart as Tina’s new best friend?
OK, this is hilarious because Emma totally dissed John Stamos during the fall portion of season one. She said that confidence is more important than talent when it comes to being a star–”Just look at John Stamos”. While I haven’t seen Stamos on Broadway, he’s not a great actor, but hopefully he’s a great singer…or something…
Well, according to Wikipedia, Mr. Stamos does have musical experience…
“Stamos also has an active music career, having appeared on Broadway as the Emcee in Cabaret, and also in Nine and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying…. Stamos won the 2009-2010 Golden Icon Award for best actor in a musical for his performance in the 2009 Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie.”
Shut the F*@k Up Eray! He is and has been a very good actor (it’s just some of the material that was presented to him might not have been great choices!). Visit IMDB.com and search for him and look at his resume!
Sigh. Well, there’s another actor walking right into the lion’s den. I’m sure the writers are drooling thinking of all the ways they can ridicule him. At least someone advised Jennifer Lopez not to appear as the lunch lady…
Stamos was very good on ER. Definitely got his chops up for dramatic work. Glee should be right up his alley…music + comedy. Cut it out. Oh wait, that’s Joey.
Guess this show just jumped the shark.
What is it with Jayma Mays and dentists? I hope her next project casts her, once again, as a quirky girl named Charlie who deserts her guy for a tooth doctor.
Will this guy ever get old and ugly? Damn he looks good.
HAVE MERCY!
Oh lord, YES! He definitely beats out all the other guys on Glee already. I can’t wait for next season! And it doesn’t even look like he aged at all since Full House. If he has, he looks even better now.
I think this is a GREAT idea! Will and the dentist(John Stamos) can have sing-offs for Emma’s love…Way cool!
Sweet
So when is Ted McGinley going to join the cast? 2011? That will mean the entire cast travels to Hawaii and surfs over a shark tank. Has Glee already “jumped the shark”?
I love the show Glee and with John Stamos being added to the cast is absolutely genius! The viewing audience will most likely double now with John on the show. Great choice!!!
I’d rather have his character hook up with Will Schuster than loony Emma.
I don’t care what anybody says about John Stamos I love him and if he gets to be on the show, I’ll be a fan to this show. I’ve never seen it b4 but if John is in it I’ll defenitely watch!!
It would be even more awesome if we could get Jesse and The Rippers to perform…
i’ve come to realize this guy is critic-proof
he is blessed
I think i am gonna start watching Glee because of him!!
Great choice choosing John Stamos! He is a talented actor and awesome singer. A new fan has been born to Glee…..Thank You
