In fact, Cuddy's (Lisa Edlestein) interest in becoming a mother was something I enjoyed. Not all of this season was frustrating, however. It was a frustrating story to watch play out over the course of this season. We know that Foreman's decision making isn't what is was in say the first season, but this is a little off-the-wall for a House-influenced Foreman. After a matter of weeks, Foreman lost his damn mind and decided to risk his career by not only getting involved in the drug trials that Thirteen was involved with, but he even switched her medication when he learned that she was on the placebo. This reminded me of the relationship Cameron must have had with her husband before he died. Diagnosed with Huntington's disease in the fourth season finale, Thirteen was reluctant to get into a relationship with anyone. Take the Foreman/Thirteen relationship for example. In fact, both of them were more frustrating than anything positive. Neither of these relationships really moved me. Foreman (Omar Epps) and Thirteen ( Olivia Wilde) got together while Chase ( Jesse Spencer) and Cameron ( Jennifer Morrison) continued with their relationship. House and his father may not have had the best relationship, but there were a few who did have a good relationship. House may not have liked his father, but surely something could have been written for the character. I can't help but feel disappointed by this fact. Before long, they were friends again and were on their way to pay their respects to House's recently deceased father. Some things never change - right? It didn't take long for Wilson and House to talk about Amber's death. House was not only concerned for his (former) best friend, but he was also just a little nosy. Not only did Weston's character look into the lives of House's employees, but he followed Wilson around.
This gave House the excuse to hire a private investigator ( Michael Weston). We've come to know quite a bit about the doctors over these years, but there were still some lingering secrets that hadn't been uncovered. House's investigations into his employees. The loss of Amber really hit Wilson ( Robert Sean Leonard) hard, so much so, that he resigned from Princeton-Plainsboro.Ĭoming into this season, one of the things that seemed to be missing was Dr. Two cast members died, though I suppose you could say that Amber ( Anne Dudek) really died in the fourth season finale, but it really only hit home in the fifth season opener, " Dying Changes Everything". Here are the 15 Secrets You Didn't Know Behind House.House 's fifth season took somewhat of a dark turn when compared to the previous seasons. Although the final product looked effortless, House had many issues behind the scenes. Hugh Laurie carried the show through eight seasons, but not without his own issues keeping up with the show. Writing a show that worked was harder when the network kept weighing in on the supporting characters.Ĭast changes proved a particularly tricky part of the show, as some cast left with little notice given to the crew and others were written out with little notice to the cast members. In the beginning, writers disagreed over the development of the show. However, even that difficult task was made more so by conflict, cast changes, network interference, and grueling filming. The writers worked under the rule, "The punishment doesn’t have to fit the crime, but there has to be a crime."
House's character always had to be rationally motivated and focused on solving a puzzle. The writers struggled to find ways to make House a character that fans would accept and root for. House deal with unexpected musical cases and navigate the social complexities of the hospital.Īudiences grew to love House, despite and because of the numerous qualities that made him a pain for other characters to work with.īehind the scenes, House was not easy to create. Fans kept coming back to watch the sarcastic, brilliant, anti-social Dr. House hit network television in 2004, offering a complicated cast of characters and new mysteries to untangle every week.
