Remember the Glee Christmas special? In Extraordinary Merry Christmas, official FOX episode stills promised a gift-giving scene between Kurt and Blaine.  In the end, the entire scene was cut, reportedly for time.   Glee producers have promised to include the scene on the Season 3 DVD due out in the fall. But, now you won’t have to wait to find out exactly what happened in the missing scene, thanks to some charity minded Glee fans!

A group of Glee fans got together to bid on the Extraordinary Merry Christmas script, which was an item offered for auction to benefit Project Angel Food, an organization that provides daily meals for people homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses. Fans won the auction with a $4,200 bid and then raised more. The total is up to $13,606!  If you’d like to contribute to the cause click this link.

If you were dying to know WHAT WAS IN THE DAMN BOX.  Read on. The most adorable Klaine scene ever, arguably, was  left on the cutting room floor.  You had a semi-proposal, a recital of what could be Blaine’s wedding vows, cute meta on how Kurt affords his trendy ensembles, a reference to the couple “taking it to another level”, Blaine pledging to kiss Kurt whenever and wherever he wants.  It’s a real love scene between these two boys, and to be honest, it makes me wonder if it was FOX’s Big Red Pen that was responsible for the scene being cut.

There seemed to be a conscious effort, after the controversial virginity episode “The First Time” aired, to cut back on public (and private!) displays of affection between the queer couples. My theory is that after some groups complained about “The First Time” coupled with Glee’s declining ratings, the network went all “No Homo” on Glee producers.   I’m not a conspiracy theorist generally, but you’ve got to wonder what’s going on when the hetero couple, Finn and Rachel are constantly sucking face on screen, while Kurt and Blaine and Brittany and Santana rarely kiss, except in a couple of “very special” episodes.  Hm.

There were a couple of other PDA type exchanges cut from the episode apart from the box scene.  The writers are penning scenes for the gay couples that don’t make it to the final cut.  This is the show that has a reputation for being pro-queer and groundbreaking…yet it appears to be censoring their writers? Something is seriously wrong right here.

Check out the box scene below and at the bottom of the page, a few more exchanges that never saw the light of day.

More from the script:

Mike and Tina were supposed to skate around Rachel as she sang “River”.

Scene between Finn and Santana that was cut altogether. She helps him pick out some jewelry for Rachel.  Santana’s performance of Santa Baby was posted to You Tube after the show aired:

     hahaa thats funny chris writing to get some PDA

    it bugs me totally that klaine cant show PDA in the choir room. Even Brittana shows PDA and fake Klaine too. It goes to show that Klaine is scared of theri friends too which I find hard to believe

    Besides censorship…. that prevents even “ private display of gay affection”…

    I read on another blog a theory of the lack of PUBLIC display of affection between Kurt and Blaine… Maybe it is because they both had  post-traumatic syndrome… Both of them were victims of “violence against gays” in public places… Blaine was even gaybashed while waiting to to home outside a place that held a dance event …

    I was hoping that they would address this gay bashing thing in Blaine’s past not only in the Prom Queen episode… oh well, I can just keep on hoping. It would be fun though to see a more liberated Kurt (because he has already graduated)  interacting with a reluctant Blaine.

    About PDA in the choir room… Would you show PDA with your boy/girl friend in front of your brother or sister ? Finn is Kurt’s step brother and they live together.  Blaine is the self conscious new kid on the block …

    Eta: Finn does not have a problem though to show off PDA near Kurt.

  • Axxxel

    As I am living in an Asian environment where even heterosexual PDA is not common, I do understand why you like the lack of PDA in more public places as the hallways etc.  As for the choir room… People tend to forget that Kurt’s stepbrother Finn is usually also in the choir room. Then again, Finn has no problem to show lots of PDA in front of Kurt.

    Eh what is  LIS ? during which episode ?

    This is not going to be a popular post. I’m on team kisses for the gays
    but I kinda liked that that in scenes where they are in the public
    school hall or in classroom, not kissing is a reality of the real world.
    When Kurt gave Blaine roses at the stairs, they glance at their
    surroundings. In Goodbye in the classroom when Kurt has his hands on
    Blaine’s, he kinda glance up and let go when students entered the room.

      I actually agree with you. That scene with the flowers was especially poignant, they look at each other with a kiss in their eyes, but realize they can’t as students begin to fill the stairwell. So there are scenes where a kiss would not be realistic, for sure

    HOWEVER, They could have realistically kissed:

    1. In Emma’s office during the counseling scene
    2. In the choir room where they are surrounded by sympathetic friends.
    3. At Sugar’s Breadstix party in “Heart”–again, surrounded by sympathetic friends.
    4. Alone in a classroom–ie their scene in “Goodbye”
    5. The scene in Blaine’s bedroom during “Michael”. Realistically, Kurt should have been reading to him, sitting on the bed right next to him.

    In fact my son is gay and was raised with torchwood so we don’t give a damned, where we live he saw and see gays and lesbians kissing and holding hand, it’s natural and perfect like that.  My kids watch tv and don’t raise an eyebrow when there is a gay or a straight kiss.

    Bless you ! I totally agree with you, specially for the scene 4, god they are two teens in a room with the door closed and Kurt wasn’t sitting near him, that was stupid.
    Glee has a double and triple standart it’s painfull

    I still think that Kurt is living in a fantasy world where every obstacle will go away as long as you ignore it and Blaine has more realism in his mind. Kurt tried to avoid “the talk” so he did not sit close to Blaine… Then again, after Kurt agreed that their relation is going well, Blaine could have kissed Kurt at least on the cheek.

  • Axxxel

    Good for your kid that he can see loving behavior. I live in an environment where all kisses are censored on local network TV and parents are reluctant/embarrassed to show even light PDA in front of their own children. (I think the middle-upperclass can see Torchwood if they want to pay for the moderately expensive fees of paid cable TV.)  Hopefully this will change in future but it will take time.

    I vote for number 5… the scene in Blaine’s bedroom… Shorten the Ben song…or during the Ben song…Finn and Rachel leave the room….

    Then there is the Klaine kiss…. On one hand Kurt passionately trying kiss Blaine to comfort him while Blaine saying… “careful for my eye”… while swaying his arms… and an annoyed but understanding Kurt ends up giving a small kiss on both cheeks and lips..  must be hilarious but at least there is some display of affection.

    I can understand Kurt and Blaine not kissing at school, after all of the violent bullying they’ve both received at schools. Even if they started out alone in a classroom or hallway, they could be interrupted at any time, or just forget where they are for a minute. It would be much easier to avoid trouble by not kissing there at all. Also, Emma’s office has a glass wall that it shares with a hallway, so it’s not actually private. At least they had Kurt pointedly look down at Blaine’s lips just before they hugged.

    OTOH, I was very annoyed that they didn’t even hug at the end of Love Shack, and that there was almost no touch at all in Blaine’s bedroom in Michael, or when Blaine was so upset in Big Brother. We did at least get the “scheduled makeout” comment in Dance with Somebody, meaning they make sure to get physical with each other regularly in private, even when they’re feeling a little distant from each other. It’s too bad that those references have to be subtle, with Kurt referring to makeout sessions, even though they’ve been sexually active for months. In my head, “scheduled makeouts” are code for sexy times, LOL.

    Back to the content of the scene: How adorable is Kurt, saying “YES!” to marriage before Blaine’s even opened the ring box? He was definitely thinking back to that during the sleepover with Rachel and Mercedes, when Rachel asked him what he would say if Blaine proposed.

    That’s the problem isn’t it? Not only are they not writing scenes for them where they are in private so PDA would not be an issue but when the possibility for it exists, they do not take it. That Michael scene is a prime example of the problem – they are so far away while Kurt is reading that Darren has to lean forward to even reach Chris, who is extending his arm fully. Of course, we have the Finchel escort by that time so Kurt and Blaine can hold hands. While singing the rat song. There’s an agenda here all right, by FOX is my bet.

    Still remember my favorite sentence in that episode: Rachel in the school hallways with Kurt , saying to Kurt with a big surprised look on her face and a tone of disbelief in her voice… ” You schedule your make out sessions ?” hehehe

    About that so called stupid storyline about giving Finn giving a pig to his jewish vegan girlfriend….Remember the latest reality show of “the Bachelor” , the bachelor who gave a bottle of wine to the father of a contestant who does not drink alcohol ?

    I also had a similar experience in my direct environment… So there are still a lot of Finn’s out there in the world… and therefore the character is unfortunately relatable.

    I did some checking and didn’t the same thing happen on a CBS soap opera? One Life to Live? As the World Turns? It’s not on anymore. But there was a gay teen couple, I believe Noah and Luke. Fans called them Nuke, hehe! GLAAD was all happy for the inclusion and representation. Just one problem. They never touched each other. Never held hands, much less a kiss. The rumour going around was that conservative religious organizations were pressuring sponsors Proctor & Gamble to demand that CBS have the characters removed from the show. One such organization denied it. CBS would only say no comment. Obviously they were enjoying the controversy and were milking it for everything it’s worth. But eventually the storyline went away. I expect the network was worried about scaring off sponsors and viewers. Same situation here. If this was pay cable like HBO or Showtime it would be no problem. Unfortunately network TV lives and dies on focus groups and advertising dollars.

    There is only one reason why I did not mind about Kurt not hugging Blaine at the end of Love Shack… or vice versa.

    I think Kurt is still kind of bothered with Karofsky’s confession of love at his visit to Breadsticks earlier that evening …

    I mean, Karofsky is his  ex-bully who used to harrass and assault him for months. Kurt even changed schools because of his bullying. And now the ex-bully is professing his love to him… ouch…
    If I were Kurt, I would still feel somewhat confused and those feelings don’t just fly away just because his  boyfriend is back.

    Blaine is “the performer, the star”.. so put on a show first for the crowd, the romance can come later. I can relate to that… coz I am also a bit that kind of person :-(

    I’m a frenchie so i don’t watch the bachelor and really offering a bottle of wine to a guy who does not drink alcohol is pretty similar. 
    One of my friend was saying that it’s recurrent for Finn (remember the meat in the finchel scene on the 3×05) You can said that i’ve a too much boner for Blaine but he will never do a thing like that/

    I would love to see the show on HBO, showtime or Starz ! I wish. 

  • Axxxel

    True, Blaine is the opposite…in that area. Thank goodness…

    well, I remember seeing Blaine completely turning in his chair towards Kurt as if kissing him in the choir room but then the camera cut to someone else…when Rachel was singing “Without You”….they were shown sitting behind Finn…it was the “Yes/No” episode.
