14 DAY TRIAL // “Glee” actor and singer Cory Monteith, who also happened to be one of the most popular stars on the show, died last weekend in Vancouver of what has been officially confirmed as a heroin and alcohol overdose.
Despite the tragedy, Fox is determined to continue the show because, sources tell TMZ, one character doesn’t make or break “Glee.”
“Glee is definitely not canceled. If you look at the dollars and cents of the show and that it was very much an ensemble with new kids being added last year when some graduated. It’s clear that the show wasn’t about one character,” says one spy.
“The producers and writers are taking time to meet and figure out how to best address this situation in the context of Glee. No decision has been reached about a script yet, as it’s still early,” adds the insider.
Certainly, Monteith’s character will be written off the show in a manner that will be respectful and kind. Fans, on the other hand, will never forget him.
