Transcript

00:00Glee's Lea Michele gives her first interview since Cory Monteith's death and talks about

00:05filming the upcoming tribute episode.

00:08Hi everyone, I'm Brian Corsetti for ENTV and TVLine.com has all the details.

00:14The much-talked-about Glee tribute episode to Cory Monteith airs tomorrow and no one

00:19on the cast is aware of that more than his girlfriend and co-star Lea Michele.

00:24For the first time since Cory's death over the summer, Lea opened up about the loss in

00:28an interview with Australia's TV Week that was published Tuesday night.

00:32Lea's character Rachel Berry has always had an on-again, off-again love with Cory's Finn

00:37Hudson since the start of the series in 2009, but it wasn't until a few years later when

00:42the two began a romance off-screen.

00:45She tells the publication, I feel like for me personally, I've lost two people, Cory

00:49and Finn.

00:50Thursday's episode titled The Quarterback will show the Glee Club dealing with the death

00:55of Finn much like in real life.

00:57While it was a difficult time on set, Lea calls filming the episode, quote, therapeutic.

01:01There's even a scene that reminds her of happier times with Cory where Rachel gives a plaque

01:06to the Glee Club.

01:07She tells TV Week that it reminded her of a summer when she and Cory traveled and took

01:12pictures with a plaque the actor took from set.

01:15She says it was so unbelievable that they chose to do that in the episode.

01:19So for me, there was a lot of little things that are so special.

01:23As previously reported, Lea was the one who made the decision to move forward with the

01:27filming of the show's fifth season, not too long after Cory's death.

01:31She opens up on why she made the decision, saying, everyone is asking, is it hard to do this?

01:36Is it hard to be back at work?

01:38But the truth is, it's no harder at work than it is in life.

01:42So we might as well all be together as a family, supporting each other to get through this

01:47together.

01:48Glee's The Quarterback airs tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on Fox.
