Glee Season 5 Cast Chris Colfer Delays Filming As Lea Michele Returns To Recording
As "Glee" season 5 rolls back into filming without Cory Monteith, cast members Chris Colfer and Lea Michele are beginning the new chapter in very different fashion.
After taking time off Twitter to grief for the loss of Cory Monteith, Lea Michele is back filming for "Glee" season 5 while updating fans on her recording and filming progress.

Thank you @alxanders & @AdamAnders for a great recording session today.. You guys are the best❤ — Lea Michele (@msleamichele) August 5, 2013
"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart," tweet the "Glee" songstress.
TVLine confirms that "Glee" will start season 5 with two Beatles tribute episodes before a tribute episode for Cory Monteith.
"Yes, Fox boss Kevin Reilly today confirmed for me/you that 'Glee' will open its season with three consecutive episodes, break for postseason baseball coverage, and then immediately return thereafter with as many as seven straight episodes," writes TVLine contributor Matt Mitovich.
But one person who is not yet back on "Glee" season 5 duties is cast member Chris Colfer, who is busy promoting the second novel in his "The Land of Stories" series, "The Enchantress Returns."
"We've had bumps and dips along the road...but nothing like this," admits Chris Colfer during an EW interview.
"I'm assuming things will be very different, and I'm sure they'll be difficult at first, but I don't know. We'll see, but I think I'm positive."
Chris Colfer will join Lea Michele on "Glee" for season 5 filming later on in the week.
