Lea Michele has been criticized for things said and done in the past with justification but this should not be one of those times.  I just read that seven years ago, to the day, Cory Monteith died.  People should not presume to know what is going on with another person.

People should not feel obligated to get on social media and pour their hearts out.  Also, who is to say that had she done so, her detractors wouldn't accuse her of being phony?  There is no pleasing some people, so why try?  Also, isn't Michele pregnant? That could also factor in her decision to disconnect from SM. In any case, I don't think she owes people on Twitter, or FB or Instagram any lengthy explanations.

 

The entire situation is tragic and the focus of feeling should be on Naya Rivera's son and family and sympathy for them.

I was barely a casual viewer of Glee but, of the view episodes I've watched,  this scene here has always stuck with me...I certainly thought it was a powerful one.

I mean, Glee was basically a cartoon/fantasy series. That's why I could never really get into it. It was one-note s far as plot and characterization were concerned. You knew the CHEERLEADERS were CHEERLEADERS because they were always in their CHEERLEADER uniforms - that kinda stuff just bugs the hell out of me.

 

Now that we're five years removed from it, I can see its merits. It was/is a very happy place to go to for its fans. Plus, it changed a lot as far as peer acceptance of LGBT youth and brought music education back to prominence, so its place in pop culture history is solidified.

She was sooo cruel and sadistic, and even though as @All My Shadows says, the series was kinda cartoony, she had an edge that felt very real. Lynch played her well, and to her credit she was often very funny, at least when I watched regularly in the early seasons. For all its inclusiveness, which was unquestionably groundbreaking, the show just became unwatchable and actually kinda boring.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
