Fox’s entertainment
chairman Kevin Reilly
today confirmed that the
planned Cory Monteith
tribute will air in the third
episode of Glee this
coming season, which is
slated to air Oct. 10. “That
is the episode where Cory’s character will be
written off and will deal directly with drug
addiction and with the circumstances surrounding
Cory’s death,” he said. That does not mean
Cory’s character Finn Hudson necessarily dies of
a drug overdose, Reilly cautioned. But series co-
creator Ryan Murphy will shoot PSAs with the
cast that will air during the episode. They will
speak to the incident and drug addiction, Reilly
said. Additionally, the proceeds from the music in
the episode will be used to set up a fund for
Monteith. “It is a celebration and really sad of
this really vibrant kid,” Reilly said. The Cory
Monteith tribute will follow the two-part Beatles-
themed Glee season opener, which had already
been in the works. After Episode 3, Glee goes on
hiatus for baseball “as a natural break to reset,”
Reilly said.
