HOUSE Season 4 Spoilers from Hugh Laurie & Friends
July 24, 2007 by Kath Skerry
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Season 4 of HOUSE. Read at your own risk.
In what I can only assume must have been one of the most fun panels to attend on the TCA press tour, MeeVee Editor Joel Brown got to hang with the cast of HOUSE yesterday. It seems that Hugh Laurie and his Princeton-Plainsboro colleagues, Jesse Spender, Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison and Robert Sean Leonard were ready to spill the scoop on S4.
The big question stemming from the season finale was whether or not Drs. Cameron, Foreman and Chase will be returning to work alongside House. The answer…YES…well, eventually.
“…the truth is, everybody is back eventually. And everybody is back having changed and having different capabilities. …
As the season opens, though, House’s three acolytes are working elsewhere…and House is sifting through 40 potential replacements.
As [Executive Producer Katie] Jacobs explained it, “In the first episodes, House is alone and he is solving cases by himself. And Cuddy is pissed and (Wilson) thinks he is losing his mind. And Cuddy will insist, and eventually win, that he hire a new team. And he will do it in a very House-ian way. So essentially the truth is over the first episodes he’s going to call in all the resumes on his desk, it’s a very large number, I think 40, a large number, and we’re going to see who survives. We’re going to play a ‘House’ version of ‘Survivor.’
“We were on the phone with Fox, and we said, ‘We’re going to kind of play ‘Survivor’ with ‘House,’ and they said, ‘Don’t you mean you’re going to play ‘American Idol’ with ‘House?'”
And just what is Hugh Laurie’s secret to making his cranky and misanthropic character likable? And why does his answer have anything to do with STAR TREK? Click here to read more from Hugh Laurie and more musing from the HOUSE panel at the TCAs.

thank you thank you thank you! 🙂 I love House
Squeeeeee for House! 😀
Katie Jacobs looks awfully young to be an executive producer. But then you can’t really see her face that well.
Keep yourself updated with the latest news, gossip, and watch ALL aired episodes of House M.D. at http://www.house-md-blog.com
thats Jesse SPENCER .. not spender.
what if …..I might be wrong
She is Piper Perabo.
She played in two episodes in S3 and she had a date with House.
Remember?
I would like to see him hire three new people and have jesse jennifer and omar return as doctors to the hospital and not as his doctors that way we get to see three new people being trained which will make interesting viewing. Three new people for him to rip into as the jesse jennifer and omar were getting away from being so dependent on house so i think three new faces will make the show even better. thank you.
wooooooo i thought jennifer , jesse and omar were all gone for good.
When does season 4 start?
25 September
I’d like to see Chase as a rival doctor, since he showed many signs of brilliance throughout the series, more so than the other two.
I’ve heard that Emma Thompson will be appearing next series.
Jesse SpenCer not SpenDer come on people
when are we going to get this in england. watched the last episode where everyone leaves last night so left on a cliff hanger and can’t wait to see the new series.
just watched the last few eps of season 3 (got back from holiday a couple of hours ago) and my god was i scared that there would be none of the family left for a fourth series.
especially worried that the beautiful jenny morrison would not be returning!
im ecstatic that theyre all back (arbeit eventually) for another season.
also… i cant see very well but i am quite a piper perabo fan and uness shes dyed her hair red and has a rather odd facial expression there i don’t believe that is her.
it would be great to see some legendary brits in House like emma thompson so if that bits true im immensly looking forward to that ep.
and Superking; i personally think chase is a muh worse doctor than cameron or foreman. plus the majority of the amazing brain waves come from them which solve the cases (when House doesnt get there first) and his role (both medically and emotionally) is not as vital as cameron or foremans.
and lastly was anybody else not majorly pissed off that cameron got with chase?!?!?!
i mean we all know shes hot for House right? *is pathetically still rooting for that gem to shine*
anyways night all and enjoy the reruns! god knows that it wont show till next year in britain :'(
I am SOOO excited that it is coming back. My cable has been out since… well, forever. I couldn’t see the finale until just yesterday when I bought the season. But for the last post-Chase and Cameron got married in real life…. so I like the fact that they finally got together. Especially since we all can see how much Chase loves her! They all BETTER come back. And stick around FOREVER. I LOVE this show!!!
Does anyone know when season 4 starts in the UK?
Or could you please tell me how long ago S3 fiished in US and I’ll work out how long I’ve got to wait. Thanks!
The US Season 3 finale was on May 29th. The US season 4 premiere will be on September 25th. Sorry that I don’t know the UK premiere dates, but I hope that helps.
So, the producer is already trying to spin off the three other doc’s? I thought the chemistry (or lack thereof) was the very issue that made them attractive.
Here is an alternate idea: how about getting rid of Cuddy for a while, then House would have to shock someone else with a whole new variety of black belt sarcasam — until Cuddy returns.
Wilson can lose his mind and go a few episodes looking for them.
Whatcha think?
V
Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer called off their engadgment a few weeks ago.

I was really disapointed that Jennifer and Jesse have called off their engagement, they make such a cute couple.
As for the show I LOVE IT!!! House is so funny, Chase and Cameron should stay together in the show.
Does anyone think that there will be any house and cameron romance in season 4? Have my fingers double crossed.
