'Glee' Creator Ryan Murphy Reveals Original Rachel & Finn Ending

Glee creator Ryan Murphy had to rearrange his plans for the show after the tragic passing of star Cory Monteith back in July – and now he’s opening up about it.

So what would have been the final scene of Glee? He shared part of that vision in the eulogy at Cory‘s private memorial service (via Entertainment Weekly).

“The ending of Glee is something I have never shared with anyone, but I always knew it,” Ryan said. “I’ve always relied on it as a source of comfort, a North Star. At the end of season 6, Lea [Michele]‘s Rachel was going to have become a big Broadway star, the role she was born to play. Finn was going to have become a teacher, settled down happily in Ohio, at peace with his choice and no longer feeling like a Lima loser. The very last line of dialogue was to be this: Rachel comes back to Ohio, fulfilled and yet not, and walks into Finn’s glee club. ‘What are you doing here?’ he would ask. ‘I’m home,’ she would reply. Fade out. The end.”

Ryan added, “That ending, and that beginning, speaks deeply of my personal feelings for Cory. Despite his troubles, he always felt deeply rooted�dependable, sweet, someone you return to for comfort. He was big, oafy, oversize�which is why during the pilot I gave him the nickname Frankenteen, a nickname that, much to his horror, stuck. But he was also the biggest surprise for me personally, and in many ways reaped the most respect.”
