# Talk:The Substitute (Glee)

I am so confused now. I thought, as is listed in the article, that Cameo was portrayed by Gabourey Sidibe, but IMDB says it was Lindsey Sims-Lewis. Who was it?? 97.67.187.2 (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

It looks like that may be correct. She is credited in the opening titles and Sidibe is not. I thought she was originally on the FOX press release, but it turns out she isn't. Yves (talk) 21:31, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

At what point can we (should we?) remove all the various predictions about what the initial Holly Holiday story arc would look like and how many episodes Paltrow would appear in, and go with what did happen? She's now effectively an occasional guest star: one or more appearances to come in season two ("A Night of Neglect", at least), and the HuffPo mention that she'll also appear in season three. The delayed Holly/Will/Emma/Carl subplot has been introduced, but where they go with it is anyone's guess, especially if Gwyneth's going to continue with occasional guest spots.

I think some updating is definitely in order, particularly the back and forth about her tenure, which could be made clearer with retrospect. I'd re-write rather than remove the quadrangle information - I think it's acceptable to detail what the original plans were, and how they were then deviated from over the course of production. There's a source out there where Falchuk explains why the romance element was dropped from this episode, but I keep forgetting to bookmark it when I come across it. I'll have a root around for it later. Frickative 01:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
