I think one of the worst parts of all this is that he was actually dating the girl who plays his girlfriend on the show (Lea Michelle), and the show creators are going to have to address it all somehow. That couldn't be a more gut-wrenching scene to be contractaully obligated to depict, you mourning the loss of your fictional boyfriend while you're actually morning his death in real life.

Hopefully the show creators will deal with it with some tact. I never know how shows can move forward with this sort of thing... I remember when I was younger my family used to watch the Highlander TV show, and at one point the main character's mentor's actor died. In the show they did some clever editing and wove his death into the story and made it a huge plot point, but it's a lot harder to do something like that in a show like Glee.

I don't really trust the Glee show makers to handle this well if they incorporate it into the show. At all.
The show's creator, Ryan Murphy, was talking about how his death might bring in tons of viewers for next season... so sleazy.

I wish Glee would die.

I personally want the show to continue for a long time because it'd be hilarious to see how they deal with the show's stars constantly graduating from the high school while still being relevant.

At a certain point it probably will seem kind of weird and creepy if the peeps keep visiting their high school when they've been graduated for years.

I knew nothing of him. I had to Google him to see who he was. I mean, it's not like he had any significant parts in movies or TV shows, and the shows he was in he only appeared in small single-episode roles (save for Glee), and the movies he was in either sucked or were too esoteric. That said, his death is pretty sad.

Glee is really big though, figures. Pretty much sums up society.

Seeing how I know nothing about this man other than the fact that he was a part of Glee, I find it hard to actually say "oh what a shame".

Boy I sure hope you guys don't say this **** when I die and they decide to not mention the fact that I was in the middle of burning a house down for fun.

Maybe it was okay because it was house of the executive producer of Glee.

Personally, I have apathy towards anything pertaining to Glee. In fact, the premise of the show sounds like it would make me facepalm through my skull if I saw it in action (And yes I did actually; in a high school Health class.) But it will be interesting to see how the director incorporates this into the writing. Only if it will have a tasteful settling and maybe a plot point.

It's terrible for his family and friends that they lost him and we should make that there business only and not the tabloids. But ask yourself, was Corey Monteith really a responsible, professional guy if he was throwing himself back into addiction and died because he didn't care about the risks he damn well knew?
