GLEE: Jane Lynch on the ‘Extremely Cathartic’ Tribute Episode to Cory Monteith

Over the summer, the GLEE family was dealt a massive blow when series star Cory Monteith (Finn) passed away from an accidental overdose. Given Finn’s — and Monteith’s — massive presence on the show, the series had no choice but to address his death (albeit, thankfully, in a vague, off-screen, manner), and in tomorrow’s brand new episode, the glee club will say goodbye to their quarterback.

“We all lost Finn Hudson and Cory Monteith,” GLEE star Jane Lynch (Sue) notes in the video below. “And like Cory Monteith, Finn Hudson was the quarterback, and he was the leader. And everybody looked up to him. Everybody. He was well loved..it was an extremely cathartic episode to film.”

Take a look at what else Lynch had to say about the episode…
