Rivera suggested that the rumors that she was not going to be involved with Glee anymore were started after co-star Lea Michele (Rachel) listed off the cast members to be featured in New York going forward and did not mention her.
"It's New York now," Michele explained to E! Online. "So it's me and Chris [Colfer] and Darren [Criss] and Chord [Overstreet] and Kevin [McHale]."
Rivera noted to TVLine that Michele might of had some sort of "Freudian slip," but suggested that others not take the slip up too seriously.
"People just take things, little things, and blow them up," she said. "But like I said, I'm reporting for duty Thursday at noon."
Glee is in the process of transitioning to an exclusively New York-set show, with new graduates Blaine (Criss), Sam (Overstreet) and Artie (Kevin McHale) moving to the Big Apple. The TVLine report notes that casting decisions for the final season of Glee will be finalized in June.
