Jane Lynch of "Glee" says actors with Down syndrome are returning to show

Jane Lynch's abrasive character Sue Sylvester on "Glee" (pictured) showed her softer side in the "Wheels" episode this fall when she visited her older sister, who has Down syndrome. She also selected a young woman with Down syndrome to be on the cheerleading squad she coaches.

Here's what Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello reports about the two actresses with Down syndrome:

Question: As the mother of an absolutely beautiful and wonderful daughter with Down syndrome, I was thrilled to see the characters of Becky and Sue’s sister in Glee’s “Wheels” episode. Any chance these characters will be back? —Cathy

Ausiello: “I hear that that will happen, yes,” confirms Jane Lynch of her TV sis’ return. “I haven’t read anything yet, but I heard that’s in the works for somewhere in the next nine episodes.”
