Jane Lynch is commenting on Demi Lovato’s guest stint on Glee this upcoming season, saying the X Factor judge, 21, is “so awesome.’
Lynch told Extra, “I heard six episodes. She is so awesome, so that’s good for us.”
The upcoming season of Fox’s hit show will be its fifth, and the first without one of its stars, Cory Monteith, who died of a lethal dosage of heroin and alcohol last month.
The show will handle Monteith’s absence truthfully, having his character, Finn, also die on the show. Co-creator Ryan Murphy has said, “At one point, we were going to have his character die after an accidental drug overdose — that was something we had considered. But we have decided that we’re not going to have him pass from that.”
“We will start shooting that on Friday. I haven't seen the script yet, so I don't know how they're handling it, but I'm sure they'll handle it beautifully. It'll be very sad. It's very hard,” Lynch said of starting to film episodes addressing his death.
It will be a “celebration of [Finn’s] life,” said Murphy.
