Jayma Mays plays Emma Pillsbury, their counselor. Other lead characters are the eight Glee Club members, namely Rachel Berry, Finn Hudson, Kurt Hummel, Lucy Quinn Fabray, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, Arthur Abrams, Amber Riley, Noah Puckerman, and Tina Cohen-Chang. More characters were added to the main cast in the remaining seasons.
