Quinn Fabray is a fictional character from the Fox musical comedy-drama series Glee. The character is portrayed by actress Dianna Agron, and has appeared in Glee from its pilot episode onwards. In the first episode, Quinn is introduced as an antagonistic queen bee stock character. Though she joins the school Glee club as a spy for her cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), the Glee club retains her once Sue kicks her off the squad for her teenage pregnancy and subsequent loss of status in the school. Over the course of the show's first season, her character matures and builds friendships with the other outcasts who make up Glee club.

Quinn was developed by Glee creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. The last character to be cast, initial responses to the character were positive, though soured across season one as the pregnancy storyline continued. Critics, however, praised Agron's singing and acting. Songs performed by Agron as Quinn have been released as singles, available for digital download, and also feature on the show's soundtrack albums.

Conception and casting

Agron was the last primary role to be cast, having won the role only days before the pilot began filming.[2] She is described by Agron as Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) enemy, and "terrible, the meanest girl".[3]

Storylines

Quinn is introduced as the head cheerleader at William McKinley High School from a very religious Catholic family.[4][5] She is also president of the celibacy club, and the girlfriend of Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), the star quarterback of the football team.[6] When Finn joins the school glee club, New Directions, Quinn fears his growing attraction to the group's star, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) has Quinn and her friends Santana (Naya Rivera) and Brittany (Heather Morris) join the club to help her bring it down from the inside.[7] Quinn discovers that she is pregnant, and tells Finn he is the father, despite the real father being his best friend Puck (Mark Salling). Puck tells Quinn that he will take care of her and the baby, but she rejects his offer, believing him to be irresponsible."[8] Quinn decides to have the baby adopted, and agrees to give it to Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), the wife of glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), who is faking a pregnancy.[9]

When Sue learns that Quinn is pregnant, she removes her from the cheerleading team.[10] Quinn pressures Finn to find a job and help to pay her medical expenses. Puck tries to prove that he would be a good father, and offers her money that he steals from the glee club bake sale. Quinn refuses the money, but thanks him and apologizes for calling him a "Lima loser."[11] When Quinn's parents learn of her pregnancy, they throw her out of their home and she moves in with Finn and his mother.[12] Quinn begins to re-consider having the baby adopted, and gives Puck a chance to prove himself by helping her to babysit Terri's triplet nephews. Puck impresses her, but Quinn later learns that he spent the session sexting Santana. Puck states he would be a good father, but he cannot remain in a committed relationship with Quinn if she doesn't have sex with him. Quinn returns to her original plan of giving the baby to Terri.[13]

When the school yearbook photos are taken, Quinn attempts to rejoin the cheerleading team so she can be in their pictures. She succeeds in convincing Sue Sylvester to let her join, but she ultimately decides she would rather be in the glee club, where she feels accepted.[14] Rachel begins to suspect that Puck is the father of Quinn's baby, and tells Finn. When Finn confronts her, Quinn admits the truth, and Finn attacks Puck. Puck again offers to be with Quinn, but she turns him down and tells him she wants to be alone.[15] Quinn moves in with Puck,[16] before forming a friendship with Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) and moving in with her family.[17] When the glee club perform at Regionals, Quinn's mother arrives and asks Quinn to move back home, having left her father after finding out he had been having an affair with "some tattooed freak." Quinn goes into labor and gives birth to a daughter, with her mother, Puck and Mercedes in the delivery room. The baby is named Beth by Puck, and adopted by Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel), coach of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline.[18]

In the second season, Quinn tries out for the Cheerios again. Initially, Sue Sylvester rejects her attempt to rejoin the team, but after discovering Santana's summer breast enhancement surgery, she reinstates Quinn as head cheerleader. Santana then attacks Quinn for revealing her surgery, and calls her a slut, leading to an all-on fight. In "Britney/Brittany", after Rachel and Finn fight, Rachel has Quinn try to seduce Finn to see if he loves her.[19]

In the episode "Duets", Quinn and Sam partner up to perform a duet together, but when Sam tries to kiss her, she backs out. Her rationale is that she needs to focus on herself and work on ignoring people. She changes her mind however when Rachel corners her in the bathroom and convinces her to perform with Sam. The two perform "Lucky" and with Finn and Rachel's votes, win the competition. When they are out at Breadstix, Sam reveals that he went to an all-male boarding school and, despite earlier denials to Kurt, dyed his hair to try and seem cooler. Quinn tells him she thinks it's cute and that he's paying for dinner rather than them use the gift certificate. When Sam asks why, she tells him that "a gentleman always pays on the first date."

Reception

The character's accidental pregnancy storyline has received mixed reviews from critics. Tim Stack for Entertainment Weekly deemed Quinn's pregnancy "a good dramatic twist", but hoped that it would not be a long-lasting storyline.[20] However, reviews of her storyline became increasingly negative,[21] though Agron was praised for her dramatic acting during the confrontation scene with Quinn's parents in "Ballad".[22]

Vanity Fair praised Quinn's writing in the season two première, now that the pregnancy storyline was over, and were happy to see the return of "evil Quinn".[23]
