'Glee': The Forgotten Story Lines & Characters

Remember when Will was head-over-heels for Emma?

It's been said many times that the best way to enjoy "Glee" is to just forget about the inconsistent story lines and enjoy the musical numbers and one-liners. We agree with that for the most part, but we still like to keep the producers honest by pointing out the many plot lines and characters that the show has picked up and then dropped just as quickly.
What Happened to the Sunshine?
After plenty of advance hype last summer, teenage Filipino singing sensation Charice appeared in the second season premiere, "Audition," as Sunshine Corazon, who we thought would be Rachel Berry's big new rival. But after the two nailed Lady Gaga's "Telephone" together in the ladies' room and Sunshine belted out "Listen" from "Dreamgirls" in her New Directions audition, the character was whisked away to Carmel High to join Vocal Adrenaline. Reportedly she'll be back for the final episodes of the season. If that's true, it won't be soon enough.
Eve High
Remember Jane Addams Academy, the school for troubled girls? It was a big part of the entire Sectionals arc, and the school's director, Grace (played by Eve), was even responsible for Sue Sylvester's big suspension in Season 1. How has New Directions never crossed paths with them again?
Finn's Best Friend, the Paraplegic
When Rachel's sore throat got her down in Season 1, Finn decided to teach her a Very Special Lesson by introducing her to his quadriplegic friend, Sean. Not only did Finn describe him as a close friend, but at the end of the episode Rachel agreed to give him singing lessons, and yet we never saw Sean again.
The Deaf School
Look, we definitely don't want another episode with the deaf choir (though we do miss their director, Dalton Rumba), but that notwithstanding, they are still one of the things "Glee" has brought up, made a big deal out of, and then forgotten about completely.
That Time the Football Team Loved Beyoncé
For all the homophobia and intolerance of everything glee club the football team loves to show, it's easy to forget that just last season they won a game by dancing to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" on the football field, led to victory by Kurt, of all people.

Sandy Ryerson and His Community Theater
Either the populace of McKinley High is buying their drugs elsewhere, or they've all formed a secret pact to go completely radio silent on Sandy Ryerson, former glee club director and esteemed dealer to all of greater Ohio.
Shelby Corcoran, Everyone's Mom
Remember how Rachel's mother adopted Quinn and Puck's baby? No residual emotional damage for anyone from that? No jokes about how Rachel and that baby are sisters now? No? We're just not going to mention it again? OK.
That Puck Dated Mercedes
The glee club's been oh so shocked that Puck is pursuing Lauren Zizes romantically, which is easy to be if you've completely forgotten that he also dated the plus-size Mercedes in Season 1.
That Will Loves Emma
What? She marries another guy and all of a sudden he's cured? He wasn't that respectful of other people's relationships when he kissed her during her engagement to his friend Ken Tanaka, remember?
That Finn and Kurt Live Together
We haven't seen Kurt and Finn at home together since Finn's mom married Kurt's dad. Instead, Kurt hangs out with his McKinley gal pals at Rachel's place. Guess Finn and Kurt just never cross paths now that Kurt goes to a different school, even though they live in the same house.
