Following the tragic passing of Cory Monteith, Ryan Murphy has confirmed that his character in Glee, Finn Hudson, is to be killed off. It has yet to be disclosed how, all that has been revealed is that Finn will be killed off in the third episode of the show's upcoming fifth season and that the episode, in one way or another, will highlight the circumstances surrounding Cory's death. The show will then take an extended hiatus before returning for the rest of its fifth season. Not even the writers are aware of how exactly they will move forward without Cory, given the admission that the show will go on hiatus. But here's a list of possible routes the show could take. Some are more likely than others, but with a show as unpredictable as Glee, anything could happen.
4. Eliminate McKinley
Finns main storyline from season four saw him replace Will Schuester as tutor for the Glee club. The results were less than great, with the club originally losing Sectionals and only making it through to Regionals by default. One weird, unexplained kiss with Emma and a questionable boy band mash up later and Finns decided that he wants to become a teacher. We last saw him at college with Puck slip and sliding down the hallways. But lets be real for a second, Finn was our only reason to care for the new batch of Glee Clubbers. Wills been redundant since mid-season one, Sue is only in for a quick one liner and then she saunters off with her mega phone, the rest of the original cast left behind are taking a back seat and an appearance by either Beiste or Emma are as rare as an Artie solo. Nothing works. Its not their fault. Its not like they're bad singers or actors. Its the writers fault. These newbies have no character to them whatsoever. Ironically, its all about the incredibly thin plot with regards to the McKinley universe. Without Finn, these characters will fade into an even deeper obscurity.
