Oh, what I wish that I could have been a fly on the wall at this year's Glee panel at Paley Fest. Not only were fans and press treated to a screening of episode 14, "Hello," but they also got to hear the cast and producers talk about the next nine episodes, the upcoming Glee summer tour, and Glee's future.
So, since I wasn't able to be there, I lived vicariously through other people's tweet updates of the event. And here is what I learned:
1. Ryan Murphy says Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison may have special appearances during the Glee tour (courtesy of @NatalieAbrams).
2. Jane Lynch didn't have to audition, the part was written for her in.
3. Puck will be Mohawk-less very soon on the show. Don't worry ladies, he's still w/o it. (courtesy of @NatalieAbrams) -- Puck is trying a new look. People like the no Mohawk. Might come back, they're mixing it up. (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
4. Upcoming this Spring, Kurt masterminds a love connection between his Dad and Finn's Mom so he can move in with Finn. (courtesy of @paleycenter)
5. Kristin Chenoweth will be in the 3rd episode. "If you have a Tony you can be on the show"-Ryan Murphy on the show's requirements. (courtesy of @paleycenter)
6. The cheerleaders WILL make out. (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
7. Most serious injury? Pilot very intense. Lots of people tipped over in wheels. (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
8. Kurt and his father based on Ryan and his father. (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
9. Lots of Sue's more risqué have been cut out. "I will kick you square in the vagina/taco!" (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
10. Set List for "Hello": Set List: The episode features several songs with the word “Hello” in them after Will tasks the New Directions kids with finding a new take on it. Finn channels his “inner rock star” with The Doors’ “Hello, I Love You.” Rachel, mad at Finn, focuses on the first syllable with All American Rejects’ “Gives You Hell,” but then makes sweet with Groff in a duet of Lionel Richie’s “Hello.” Groff and the Vocal Adrenaline team also tackle AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” Other songs featured in the episode include Neil Diamond’s “Hello Again” and The Beatles’ “Hello Goodbye.” (courtesy of Ask Ausiello)
11. Lady Gaga has given permission and says she loves the show. (courtesy of @GleekShelly)
12. Best line of Glee April premiere: "Did you know dolphins are just gay sharks?" (Britney) And Jonathan Groff = unbelievable. HELLO (courtesy of @KristinAlert)
I did not put a synopsis of the show in as I didn't want to ruin it for those fans who are patient and can wait until April 13. For those that can't, you can find a synopsis here (warning: very Finn/Rachel heavy).

I love Kurt SO MUCHHHHH. Hooking up his dad with Finn's mom is AWESOMEEEEE!!!!! YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
