Fox Boss Previews "Glee's" Finn Tribute Episode and PSA Plan
by Michael Ausiello
8/1/13

"Glee‘s" farewell episode to Finn will “deal directly with the drug abuse” that felled his portrayer Cory Monteith, Fox president Kevin Reilly told reporters Thursday at the Television Critics Assoc. summer press tour in Beverly Hills. However, Reilly stopped short of saying Finn’s death would be the result of an overdose.

“The third episode deals with writing Finn out of the show,” Reilly confirmed, adding that the hour will be accompanied by a series of drug-related PSAs featuring series creator Ryan Murphy and members of the show’s cast.

“Cory was a big, open wonderful life force,” Reilly continued. “He was not a problem. Everybody loved him.”

Reilly would neither confirm nor deny rumors that the episode will make use of never-before-seen footage and/our outtakes of Monteith, saying only that “it’s a possibility.”

I have a feeling that the Finn character has a poor and erratic love technique.

Rachel might have to find a new boyfriend, who is not like either Finn nor Brody, right now.
