HOUSE AND CUDDY CALL IN SICK ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF “HOUSE” MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, ON FOX
In the aftermath of last season’s emotional finale in which House and Cuddy admitted they had feelings for each other, as Season Seven begins, they are exploring the ramifications of those feelings and attempting to make a real relationship work. Meanwhile, due to a colleague’s illness, Princeton Plainsboro is left without a neurosurgeon on site, threatening the hospital’s accreditation as a Level 1 Trauma Center. As the team attempts treatment to get their sick colleague back to work, they discover there is more to the illness than they originally suspected and turn to House for direction. Instead, House remains elusive, leaving the team on its own in the “Now What?” season premiere episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Sept. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-701) (TV-14 D, L, S)

This is so exciting! Here are the first of the episodic photos for House season 7. This is the season’s opener that will air on September 20. I can’t wait! It’s supposed to pick up right after the season 6 finale, so House is still looking pretty rough from his attempted underground rescue.

In these two House season 7 promotional videos, we get a lot more to enjoy. In promo clip #8, we get a look back at the House/Cuddy relationship from season 1 to now. A couple of these were among my favorite quotes from House. There’s even a spoiler included! Check this out:
And in this one, House faces two little, old men in the clinic. I love his snide comment…
IMPORTANT!! Don’t read any further until you watch this week’s season finale of House!! (I have to say it, since so many of us record the show and watch it later.)
After seeing Cuddy and House get together in the finale, I know most of us have tons of questions about where they’ll go from here. And Michael Ausiello at E! Online had those questions too. He talked to Katie Jacobs, one of the executive producers for House. Here’s what they discussed:
That was one hell of a final scene. What should we take away from it? KATIE JACOBS: This is real and something that they are going to try. It’s something they stayed away from for a long period of time because it’s dangerous and the consequences could be severe. But now they’re going to give it a try. They’re going to make a go of a relationship? JACOBS: Absolutely. Yes. What are we led to believe happened after the screen faded to black? JACOBS: That’s exactly the conversation we had. Does the audience want us to pick up two or three months later? Or is the audience interested in us [picking up right where we left off]? And it’s really dependent on the narrative. Last year when House checked himself into the psychiatric hospital, I felt like it wouldn’t be good enough for the audience just to see him come out the other end and [return] to Princeton Plainsboro. Even though they knew he would [eventually] return there, I wanted everybody to see the moment after. So which scenario will you choose this time around? JACOBS: Put it this way… I’m certainly in the camp of not wanting to miss much after the fade to black. Because the truth is the challenges that are ahead for them are the things that kept them apart to begin with. It’s not chemistry or the spark. It’s “How are we going to deal with this? We’re going to be together. What does that look like?” Cuddy is his superior at the hospital. And she’s a mother. Those are the kind of things we’re going to have fun with. I could be wrong but I think Huddy fans want to see a real, non-hallucinatory sex scene. JACOBS: I get it. We’re in the process of figuring all that out right now, so I don’t have an answer. But this isn’t just about the [season premiere]. This isn’t something that will work or fail in just one episode. We’re going to attempt to make a true exploration of this relationship. Were you on set when that last scene was shot? JACOBS: Yes. It was amazing. Our prop guy, Eddie, had tears in his eyes. You never know how people are going to react to the story, but seeing Eddie with tears in his eyes and happy with the fact that House and Cuddy were finally going to give it a try was very satisfying.

Episode 6.22 – Help Me Air Date: May 17, 2010
Here’s a preview of the first two minutes of tomorrow night’s House season 6 finale. I can’t wait to see what happens!!
I’m both excited and sad. Tomorrow night, the season 6 finale of House will air. I’m torn between being eager to see the episode, and wishing that the season wasn’t already over. I’m guessing that you feel the same way.
Anyway, to get you ready for tomorrow’s big finale episode, here’s the latest promotional clip:
Here are some spoilers from Michael Ausiello to tease us about the House season finale. Of course, they are totally vague, as always…
Question: Tell us more about the scene in the House finale you called “one of my favorite Huddy moments ever.” —Annie Ausiello: It’s dark. House and Cuddy are lying down. And there’s moaning. Question: It’s not fair that you got to see the House finale before us. Not fair at all. The least you can do is slip us a scoop or a tease. —Julie Ausiello: The “unanswered question with one of our actors” that exec producer Katie Jacobs teased a few weeks back involves a major character leaving Princeton-Plainsboro.

Episode 6.21 – Baggage Air Date: May 10, 2010
Here are three preview clips for the upcoming new episode of House. In this one, House is explaining the POTW to Dr. Nolan (Andre Braugher).
Hurray! Here’s where we find out that Alvie (Lin-Manuel Miranda)will be on the episode this week too!!
Here’s the promo clip for Monday’s new episode of House. It looks like things are going to get sticky between House and Wilson.
Here are some photos from the season finale of House. The team will go to help out at an accident scene. This looks like it could be a train or plane wreck. (Just a guess)
The season 4 finale gave us a horrible bus crash. The season 5 finale had House checking himself into a mental hospital. Now this looks like it’s going to be another big, emotional episode. I can’t wit to see what happens!
