Glee star Max Adler has praised his recent storyline on the show.
In last night's winter finale, Adler's character Karofsky attempted suicide after being bullied about his sexuality.
Adler has now revealed that he was "thrilled" with the direction the story took.
"I really think it's incredibly brave and honest and it's treating the character with the integrity that he deserves," he told TV Line. "I think you can't truly appreciate [the good side of high school] without experiencing the other side, which is the fear, the anxiety, and the struggle that teenagers go through identifying themselves."
Adler suggested that Glee fans "have a connection" to Karofsky, adding: "What I'm so happy about with this episode is that it gives that really amazing, powerful message to victims of bullying and to people who are or have contemplated suicide that there is hope; there are people who accept you for who you are, and you don't have to change yourself for what society tells you to be."
However, Adler admitted that he is not sure whether he will return to Glee in the future.
"It could end here," he said. "But my personal thought is that there might be something else down the line to show where Karofsky goes post-hospital. But that's all up to the writers. They've done everything amazingly well and treated this character with incredible consistency and honesty and integrity. Whatever they do, I think it will be genius."
Glee returns with a new episode on April 10 on Fox.
