Glee Cast Reunion Photos: Naya Rivera Honored in Heartwarming Tribute, Unveiling Unforgettable Moments
Glee Cast Reunion Photos Showcase Heartwarming Tribute to Naya Rivera and Heather Morris Pays Homage to Santana's Unforgettable Legacy
Summary
Glee cast members, including Heather Morris, recently reunited for strikes and paid tribute to the late Naya Rivera.
At the strike, Morris displayed a sign with a revised Glee quote to pay tribute to Santana Lopez, Rivera's character.
Even years after the show ended, the Glee cast still displays strong support for one another and fervently commemorates the show's influential moments.
The cast of Lima, Ohio's renowned show choir, which received accolades, has come together again. Recently, the Glee cast reunited to support SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Glee, which aired from 2009 to 2015, was a highly popular show on Fox Network and propelled stars like Lea Michele (Rachel Berry), Heather Morris (Brittany S. Pierce), and Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams) to fame.
Among the Glee alumni who held posters referencing memorable Glee quotes and screen captures, Heather Morris' sign was particularly eye-catching.
Naya Rivera's Impact On The Glee Cast
- In memory of the late Naya Rivera, Morris made sure that she could still be honored at the strike. By utilizing a screen grab from Glee season 2, episode 18, Morris prominently showcased a tweaked line from Santana Lopez, stating "the sole orientation I possess is being completely financially destitute."
Morris and Rivera formed a strong bond while working on Glee, thanks to their characters Brittany and Santana's romance and eventual wedding. Tragically, in 2020, Rivera passed away at the young age of 33 due to a drowning accident. Morris was quick to pay tribute to her co-star, creating an emotional video that honored Rivera's memory. In the video, Morris emphasized how the relationship between Brittany and Santana brought comfort to countless LGBTQ+ viewers who found solace in seeing themselves represented in the couple.
The recent strikes by SAG-AFTRA and WGA were not the only occasions where a Glee reunion paid tribute to Naya Rivera. In 2021, the original cast of Glee came together to honor Rivera at the GLAAD Media Awards. Additionally, the tribute included a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Rivera's character's coming-out storyline in the show's third season episode, "I Kissed A Girl".
Despite facing tragedy, the Glee cast remains supportive of each other and the careers of fellow actors, just as their characters portrayed on the show. Even after eight years since its conclusion, Glee continues to elicit nostalgia in viewers, who fondly remember the show's iconic moments.
