Jessica Sanchez To Shoot Glee Episodes in January

Here’s some scoop from American Idol runner-up, Jessica Sanchez, and her upcoming role on Glee from E News.

When Marc Malkin asked the American Idol runner up about the Finn (Cory Monteith) romance rumors at Saturday’s Carousel of Hope ball, she brushed them off. “Everybody thinks that, but I’m not even sure. That would be interesting.”

What is certain is that she’ll be in a “a couple” of episodes that will be shot in January and will air in the spring.

“We met up with Ryan Murphy,” the singer said. “I guess he found me interesting after that, and now I’m going to be on Glee. It’s amazing. It’s awesome.”

Boo that we’ll have to wait until spring to see Jessica on Glee. But we’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch her on the concert stage and promoting her upcoming CD.

As an aside, it’s hilarious to me that TV Line’s recent speculation on Jessica’s Glee character becoming Finn’s love interest has become a full blown rumor on the internet. It was nothing more than a super-lazy way to link to a previous “scoop.”

I mean SERIOUSLY? 16 year old Jessica will no doubt play a student–either at McKinley or at a rival high school, while Finn is set to become the temporary director of New Directions. I know Glee co-creator, Ryan Murphy has produced some questionable plot twists, but I can’t see him hooking up an underage student with a teacher’s aid–particularly when the actors in question are 16 and 30 years old in real life.

The internet really bugs me sometimes. Maybe I need to start making up stupid spec that makes no sense just for hits.

ETA: A correction. Jessica just turned 17. But still.

    Jessica is indeed 17. Her boyfriend is now 18. :) But it would be weird for her to be Finn’s love interest. I can’t see any chemistry either.

    Because not every person is right for every role.  That’s not being ignorant.  It’s up to Ryan Murphy to cast Jessica in a role that fits her, not to try and force fit her into a role.  Even experienced actors get miscast all the time and it has nothing to do with whether that role is applicable to them in real life or not.  Casting is nothing if not a visual medium.

    I hope they keep Jessica longer on Glee than Charice was. Glee and the media made a big deal about Charice being on the show. They made it sound like Charice was going to be an ongoing character and she was just on for several episodes. I thought Charice was good on the show and what a voice.

    Ugh Perez Hilton adding more fuel to the fire. “Cory Monteith Leaves Lea Michele for Jessica Sanchez”  http://perezhilton.com/2012-10-23-cory-monteith-lea-michele-jessica-sanchez-glee-love-interest-guest-role#.UIabvoaB3kY

    Jessica’s appearance on glee is supposedly help her gain fans, not haters from finchel shippers

    Typical Perez Hilton. He puts out a title like that just to get hits on his website. That man is so thirsty for attention, that it’s sad.

    The timing and the fact that she’ll be filming “a couple of episodes” to air in the spring leads me to believe Jessica will be the lead singer of a rival high school glee club competing in Regionals.  

    I’d bet money on that.

    Finn is annoying anyway, I wouldn’t mind seeing him walk away from Glee completely. His character is just, annoying. GO JESSICA!

    Her jump in video is kinda glee like with all the young people in it.

     I heard that Charice’s stint in Glee was prematurely clipped due to its main star Lea Michele’s influence. Apparently, Lea felt uncomfortable having a character around whose voice was superior to hers.

    If this is true, I wouldn’t put it past Lea to intimidate Jessica and/or influence producers to make Jessica’s stay short.
