According to the TVLine exclusive report, Sanchez will have a recurring role on the series. No details have been released as to the character she will portray, put rumors have been circulating that she may be the next romantic interest for Cory Monteith's Finn.
On Idol, the native Californian wowed the judges with her version of Whitney Houston's “I Will Always Love You." She also revealed her alter-ego, 'Bebe Chez' on the 7th week of the show. The Idol judges chose to use their one and only 'save' option on Sanchez after she wound up as the lowest vote getter the following week.
