The bad news first: Kristin Chenoweth will not be in Los Angeles next week filming an episode of Glee like she was supposed to.

But the good news is...

She's been rescheduled to shoot in the spring. And in even better news, her drunky-wunky character, April Rhodes, may be back for more than just the originally planned one episode.

So what happened? Glee's production unexpectedly changed so they had to postpone Chenoweth's return. She and Ryan Murphy are now said to be discussing a multi-episode story line for Ms. April because Chenoweth will have more time to work on the show. Her Broadway run in Promises, Promises ends on Jan. 2.

This also means—show tune queens rejoice!—-that she will be in Promises, Promises next week. She had announced she was taking the time off to film Glee.

(FYI: The ACLU of Southern California is auctioning off a set visit to Glee and a meet-and-greet with Jane Lynch over at charityfolks.com. Bidding closes on Tuesday.)

Now, we wanna hear from all you Gleeks out there—should April and Will get it on when she returns to town? Or should she get her liquored lips all over that hunky dentist, played by John Stamos? Leave your ideas in the comments section below.
