"The fourth season of Glee has taken its original characters in New Directions, both literally and figuratively. The veteran actors have felt the effects of the show&amp;apos;s creative changes both on and off camera, according to Naya Rivera, who plays feisty ex-cheerleader Santana Lopez.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It does feel like a different show and sometimes I get really sad about it. We shoot on the same soundstage, but there&amp;apos;s this big door that separates the two worlds, so on my lunch breaks I&amp;apos;ll go over there and see [Kevin McHale] and [Jenna Ushkowitz] and everybody I haven&amp;apos;t seen, like, &amp;apos;I miss you guys! What are you doing?&amp;apos; I have no idea what they&amp;apos;re doing! I have no idea about the gossip and drama with the new kids,&amp;quot; the 26-year-old actress tells Vulture. &amp;quot;I feel like I&amp;apos;ve really grown up because we used to have all that stuff and now we don&amp;apos;t.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nRivera&amp;apos;s character recently moved to New York City and now lives with former high school classmates Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) and Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). &amp;quot;Lea and I have been getting insanely jealous of the new New Directions because at the end of every episode they get to do a fun number where they just, like, run around,&amp;quot; she said of Becca Tobin, Jacob Artist and Melissa Benoist, who joined the show in its fourth season. &amp;quot;Like, free-form rock-out! We never got to do that!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSeveral characters, like the ones played by Cory Monteith and McHale, stayed behind in Ohio while their peers pursued their dreams elsewhere. &amp;quot;Just when I think, &amp;apos;Of course they&amp;apos;ll move Cory to New York,&amp;apos; I&amp;apos;ll go, &amp;apos;Oh. Wait. Maybe he is the new Schue!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Rivera says of Monteith&amp;apos;s character, Finn Hudson, who is running the glee club in Will Schuester&amp;apos;s (Matthew Morrison) temporary absence. &amp;quot;I have no idea.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough Michele has said she&amp;apos;ll be back for a fifth season, Rivera&amp;apos;s fate remains uncertain. &amp;quot;You never really know what they plan on doing. I think we&amp;apos;ve been on the show a really long time; I wasn&amp;apos;t really sure what they were going to do with Santana but I think that her story line is evolving and there is more to tell. So yeah, I&amp;apos;d absolutely be down to be around for some portion of that,&amp;quot; she tells Vulture. &amp;quot;But there is the album stuff that I desperately want to get done. It&amp;apos;s just a matter of finding a balance. We won&amp;apos;t get into it until after we wrap at the end of April. We&amp;apos;re getting the longest hiatus we&amp;apos;ve ever had this year, so I&amp;apos;m super excited about that.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nGlee airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on FOX."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
