Reports are all over the media that Mark Salling may have breached his Glee contract by releasing a solo album, and that he could well be off the show for good. But we’re hearing a different version of events.

Salling, who plays bad boy Puck, was mysteriously absent from this week’s episode. Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) told us only that Puck had been sent to Juvenile Detention. But insiders say that Puck will definitely be returning to the series, recording contracts and album releases notwithstanding.

An unnamed insider reports that all the Glee cast members are highly supportive of Salling, who has been working on his music career for many, many years. Salling is still a regular cast member…and we’re also hearing that when he returns, he’ll have the Mohawk back.
