House Spoilers
Show Summary
From executive producers Paul Attanasio, Katie Jacobs, David Shore, and Bryan Singer comes a new take on mystery, where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn’t even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he’s a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives. (Source: Tv.com)

Season Spoilers
Since executive producer Katie Jacobs tells me that a major, potentially romantic story line involving Foreman and Thirteen will kick off in November when Olivia Wilde’s ailing alter ego agrees to participate in a clinical trial overseen by Omar Epps’ Foreman. As a result, the pair “are going to be spending a serious amount of time together,” reveals Jacobs.
Thirteen’s leap of faith will follow a tumultuous few episodes in which she has a random hookup with an unidentified lovergirl and witnesses firsthand the horrors of Huntington’s via a patient played by Lori Petty (A League of Their Own). “I don’t want to see Thirteen come down with Huntington’s,” confesses Jacobs, “but I think it’s important for the audience to see what she’s up against in dealing with [the disease].” (AusielloFiles)
As far as I know, Cameron is not pregnant, but they are very, very secretive about the storylines on the show, so if she is or will be, they haven’t told me yet. (KristinEOnline)
There’s a lot of other great stuff this season: There is a hostage situation at one point; we’ll learn a little bit more about what’s going on with Chase and Cameron, and there’s some flirting between House and Cuddy.” (KristinEOnline)
“In the first few episodes, there’s not a lot of Cuddy, but then some really wonderful stuff happens and I’m very excited about it. There’s some really great interaction between House and Cuddy, and Cuddy, of course, suffers and suffers some more, but it’s fun, because I get to work with Hugh. I love him.” (KristinEOnline)
New: I ran into Peter Jacobson at the L.A. Confidential party this weekend and he told me we’ll see an episode where House really gets on Taub for being a dirty little cheater. Poor Rachel Taub (Jennifer Crystal), who will definitely pop up this season to deal with this adultery business. (KristinEOnline)
For the foreseeable future, Olivia Wilde’s alter ego will continue to go by Thirteen or Dr. Hadley — although in the wake of her Huntington’s diagnosis, you can probably add Evel Knievel to that list, too. “She’s always been something of a risk taker,” Jacobs explains. “And now that she knows she has this fatal illness, it causes her to make certain choices that may not be considered all that responsible. She’s on an interesting journey.” (Ausiello)
