I just cleaned up my Tumblr dash by unfollowing all the people spewing Darren and Harry hate. No idea why I actually followed them in the first place...
I don't get why people are so upset though. I LOVE Sam, he's one of my favourite characters, but I'm not worried at all. So he didn't become a regular, but what does that mean after all? It took Harry two seasons to become one, and look how much his character developed despite being 'just' a guest star! It has to do with contracts and pay, not with how much the character will be featured. In fact, Ryan Murphy said only a few days ago that he thinks Sam isn't a senior yet and could stay for several years. We know he only alters the ages of people he really loves (like Darren
), so I have every hope that Chord will be around for a long time. They wouldn't have developed his character in the last few episodes the way they did if they had no intention of keeping him on the show.
