"Rory's style is almost opposite from his personality. His style is kind of retro, kind of old but then Rory is this young really young soul and he's very innocent and very vulnerable," The Glee Project co-winner Damian McGinty told THR about his character on the show.
Fox returned to its regularly scheduled programming after a few weeks off for baseball and its entire lineup was down.
Glee (7.4 million total viewers, 2.9 rating in adults 18-49 demographic), featuring the first appearance of The Glee Project co-winner Damian McGinty, posted a 19 percent decline from its last original four weeks ago, with the hourlong topped by CBS’ NCIS in its time slot. The episode was also the lowest-rated for the series. New Girl (7.5 million, 3.5) saw a 19-percent dip and Raising Hope (5.5 million, 2.5) sank 14 percent. Even so, the former won its 9 p.m. half-hour among adults 18-49 and the younger 18-34 demos. Fox notes that its programming almost always posts declines after baseball and expects its lineup to return to “normal” in a few weeks.
