00:00One of Lea Michele's real-life besties is cast as Sam's love interest on Glee.
00:05Hey guys, I'm Melaina Scantlin and Deadline.com has the season 5 scoop.
00:12Court over streets, Sam suffered some serious heartbreak at the hands of his girlfriend
00:16Brittany in the season 4 finale this year.
00:19But with actress Heather Morris being pregnant and out as a regular for season 5, fans can
00:24pretty much rule out a reunion between the two.
00:27But have no fear because show creator Ryan Murphy has recruited a new potential love to
00:32ease the pain of the Glee Club heartthrob, and she will be played by actress Phoebe Stroll.
00:38According to Deadline.com, Stroll will get cozy with Sam as Penny Owen in season 5, and get
00:43this, she's an older woman.
00:45Well, not that much older, she's a sophomore in college, and that's just one year older than Sam.
00:51Did you seriously just break up with me by a text?
00:54As fascinated as I am by your down-filled pillow-soft lips that are 10 times too big for your face,
00:59I really miss my sweet, sweet lady kisses.
01:01However, we're not exactly sure how they meet seeing as Sam's post-high school future has
01:06been up in the air ever since he got those horrible SAT scores back.
01:10Okay, you don't need to go to college like the rest of us.
01:12You have a really great body.
01:14You could be a personal trainer.
01:16You could be a greeter at Abercrombie.
01:17You could be a greeter at Abercrombie's corporate headquarters.
01:20So, who is this new girl who will be locking lips with Kord next season?
01:24Well, Glee may be Stroll's most high-profile role yet, following appearances on FX's Rescue
01:30Me and 30 Rock.
01:31The rainbows and the cobwebs and the cobwebs of the rainbows and stop us.
01:38She also has a history with the show's star, Lea Michele, having starred with her on the
01:42Broadway production of Spring Awakening in 2006.
01:45Michele was actually the first to tweet the announcement, saying,
01:49Such amazing news that two of my very best friends are going to be on Glee this year,
01:54Demi Lovato and Phoebe Stroll.
01:56Thank you, Mr. R.P. Murphy.
01:58I'm Elena Scantlin.
