Glee: The Quarterback

On Friday night Glee says farewell to Finn Hudson.

“What you will see in the episode is what really happened,” creator Ryan Murphy has said of the hour. “Brad [Falchuk] and Ian [Brennan] and I wrote that episode and Brad directed it, and those performances that you’ll see, almost everything in that episode is from the first take of every performance because the actors and the crew had a really hard time shooting it.”

“I’ve never seen a crew that you can’t continue shooting because they’ve left the room sobbing. It was very hard. I struggled even working on it because what you’re seeing is what they felt not just about Finn but Cory. It’s amazing performances across the board and everybody went into it with a lot of love,” he continued. “What I loved about it is when you write something like that, there’s no right way to do it.”

“It was very rough, and it was very rough with [Monteith’s girlfriend] Lea [Michele],” Murphy added. “I’m very proud of it. I think the performances are quite stunning. It was tricky. You had to have a hard eye when you were putting it together. People still are not over it and it’s still very difficult.”

7:30pm Friday on ELEVEN.
