'Sons of Anarchy' Season 7 Spoilers: Lea Michele to Guest Star, Will Character Survive One Episode?
Lea Michele will take on a dramatically new role in the upcoming season of "Sons of Anarchy." The "Glee" star will be a guest on the series, which makes her incredibly happy and excited, and fans of "SOA" eager to see how she will feature in the series.

Michele could not hide her "glee" at appearing on the cult series and sent a tweet out to her followers, which garnered over 3,500 retweets and 5,600 favorites.
"I'll be appearing on an episode of my favorite show @SonsofAnarchy! Thank you so much @Harperbar & @sutterink #SOAFX," Michelle exclaimed.
Fans of the series are skeptical as to how Michele will handle herself on the tough-as-nails series, which is a far departure from the high school drama/musical "Glee."
"Glee's done so Lea Michele needs SOA to get some street cred for herself. Remember that Ashley 'High School Musical' Tisdale also appeared on SOA as a hooker," a user wrote on Entertainment Weekly's website.
"Precious Lea Michele is trying to secure a career beyond Glee. Will it work? I don't think so. Her diva attitude only worked on Glee and won't work anywhere else," Drago Harley noted.
The "Glee" star has not let any criticism get to her, though, or dampen her joy at being on the series. She recently tweeted a photo of herself behind the scenes on the show, along with the caption: "On set @SonsofAnarchy with my favorite person @Harparbar this is so cool! #SOAFX."
Her episode is scheduled to air on Oct. 14 on FX.
