"For reasons he's aware of, we decided not to make him a regular but we did ask him to come back for a portion of the season," Falchuk explained at Comic-Con International this weekend. "He declined the offer, which we were very disappointed by because we were writing stories for him.
"We wanted him back because we like Chord personally and had some good stories planned for him and with Mercedes. He decided he would have opportunities elsewhere that he would like to pursue, and we can't force him to work so we wished him well."
