Charice will no longer be seen in Fox's hit series "Glee". Why?
New York Post online reported that it was management's decision to remove Charice, who played the role of a Filipina exchange student named Sunshine Corazon, so as not to upset the show's lead star Lea Michele who played Sunshine Corazon's rival Rachel Berry.
According to NYP's source, after Charice and Michelle did their version of "Telephone," everything changed.
From the original 5 appearances, Charice only appeared in the opening and the last 2 episodes of the show.
�Charice was signed for a minimum of five episodes and did a press junket with Chord Overstreet. She had a big debut, but things changed and they didn�t put her back in. The word is, Lea is the big star, and producers want to keep her happy,� the source of NYP said.
"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy told reporters last January that Charice will be seen in five episodes of the show's second season and will perform big ballads but turned out Charice only reappeared in the last 2 episodes of the show.
However, a �Glee� spokesman refutes the rumor and told NYP:
�This is categorically untrue. We love Charice, and she was a wonderful addition to Glee last season. While it is true that she appeared in fewer episodes last year than we originally anticipated, this was due to her busy schedule and the natural creative process in which some story arcs ... did not materialize as planned. Lea is a consummate pro who couldn�t be more welcoming of other powerhouse singers on the show, from Kristin Chenoweth to Idina Menzel, who is set to reprise her role as Rachel�s birth mom this fall.�
