Question: Have we seen the last of Lucas on House? —Kirsty
Ausiello: My guess? Yes. You haven’t, however, seen the last of his portrayer, Michael Weston, on Fox. The actor has signed on to guest star in an upcoming episode of The Good Guys, which has its fall premiere this Friday. Weston plays Carson, the genial owner of a bed and breakfast where Jack spends a weekend. Carson is all smiles and pleasant conversation, but Jack senses something is off about him and delves into his past—which leads him to an unsolved crime he may have been part of.

Transcript of HL and LE's interview to TV Guide:
First the kiss and now this! It's wedding day and House and Cuddy are shaking booty on the dance floor. She's in a slinky backless gown. He's in a tuxedo (and sneakers, naturally) and they're talking guest lists and chocolate fountains. For reals, as House likes to say. Fox would kill us if we spilled too much about this upcoming episode but, OK, House and cuddy aren't the ones tying the knot just yet. Of course, the way their romance is plowing ahead after six seasons of platonic simmer, it might be wise to keep your Monday nights free just in case.
So far this season, House (Hugh Laurie) and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) have cuddled, snuggled, snogged, fondled like 10th graders and played a hot round of sexy Boggle (I LOBE YOU? Really, House?).
Since House and Cuddy have answers for everything, TV GUIDE MAGAZINE barraged the actors who play them with snoopy questions in a penthouse suite of the Los Angeles hotel where the wedding scenes were being shot. There was plenty of giggling and flirty repartee, even as we asked the snoopiest question of all: Was consummating Cuddy and House's relationship the kiss of death for the series?
Isn't this what killed Moonlighting all those years ago? The two main characters got it on and their chemistry died, right?
Laurie: That wshow was different, as I recall. Those characters hated each other and didn't want to be together. House definitely wants to be with Cuddy and Cuddy is right there with him.
Edelstein: Right. House and Cuddy have worked together but never felt handcuffed. Though handcuffs are an interesting idea.
Laurie: Careful. I smell a land mine.
Edelstein: Besides, this isn't just the simple release of sexual tension.
Laurie: Not at all. It's the beginning of something and actually can bring much, much greater tension than a simple...release, as Lisa so bravely put it.
How shocked were you when executive producer David Shore shared the top-secret script pages that ended last season with your characters finally hooking up?
Laurie: We had a bit of a suspicion, didn't we?
Edelstein: Yeah, yeah. Cuddy and House couldn't just keep dancing around it forever and ever.
Laurie: But we didn't actually know how the scene was going to go.
Did it go awkwardly? You've worked together for so long, it's the equivalent-in the real world- of having to kiss one's office manager or something.
Laurie: I was going to say it was like sleeping with my sister, but that's just...
Edelstein: That's just wrong in so many ways.
Laurie: In so many ways.
Edelstein: We had kissed before on the show, so we sort of got that out of the way several times. Like, OK, that's done. But the whole taking someone's pants off, as I had to do in the opening episode, was a bit more extreme.
Laurie: And you're doing it in front of 30 or 40 people, rather than just the two of us.
Edelstein: That's a lot of guys in jeans, arms folded, waiting for the scene where I have to take my robe off and stand there in a pair of nude-colored panties. I'd have to yell, "Private moment!" and they'd all sort of avert their gaze.
Laurie: Except that one guy.
Edelstein: Oh, God. This one random security guard showed up and had no purpose other than to stare straight at us.
Laurie: He was a fireman, actually, and he seemed certain a fire would break out right between my...
Edelstein: Um, land mine!
Well thank goodness for the laptop this season that kept you from showing us the full House, so to speak.
Laurie: It was a 17-inch laptop, by the way. Write that down. I don't want your readers to think I could get away with the 13-incher.
Edelstein: Can you write down that I'm blushing?
So what happens now? Given your characters dancing at this wedding for an episode airing in January, it's safe to assume this isn't just a two- or three-episode fling.
Edelstein: They don't tell us. But yes, we know the relationship continues through a good part of the season. This is real for them. For Cuddy, certainly, it's something she couldn't avoid, though she's been trying to avoid it for a long time. For a while, she thought the one-night stand she and House had ages ago had dealt with this issue, but after House came out of rehab and was coming at her so strong, it changed something in her.
Even though Cuddy had already moved on to Lucas, whom she was about to marry. What happens with that relationshp, by the way?
Edelstein: Trouble ensues, as they say in TV.
What about Cuddy's kid? Does House get to play the happy dad?
Laurie: House is by no means cured. I mean, he hasn't suddenly seen the light and adjusted his ways and is suddnely picking up socks and being a pleasant fellow. He's still sort of scared and weird and as manipulative as he was before, even with children. Maybe especially with children. And he's also capable of hurting others.
will House fall off the wagon is things don't work out with Cuddy? He was so close to dipping intot he Vicodin bottle at the end of last season.
Laurie: Well, between House and Cuddy, House is the one who has a lot further to fall if this falls apart. He's not been in the business of romance for some time, and therefore this feels like a bigger risk for him.
Edelstein: In a way, this is as epic a journey for House as it was for him to get sober or explore one drug over another. It's a time for both characters that's fraught with danger and full of dramatic opportunities.
Do you think House will torpedo this relationship the way he does with everything good that comes into his life?
Laurie: It seems to be a question of when, not if. House is a self-destructive character, and I suppose the better things get for him and Cuddy, the more dangerous it gets because he's more likely to sabotage it.
We here Cuddy and House go on a double date next episode with Wilson and Sam. How did that go?
Edelstein: It was so, so hot.
Laurie: Watch yourself.
Edelstein: No, I mean it was about 110 degrees where we shot and I had to wear cashmere, which made it especially wonderful. But, yeah, we got to drive go-karts and have a lot of fun.
Laurie: What's great about Wilson is that he handles House's relationship with Cuddy so much better than House handled it the other way around, which was frankly childish in the extreme. But those go-karts were definitely fun.
Speaking of fun, you've played this characters for close to seven years. Do you still enjoy it? Do you still care about them?
Edelstein: I'm still surprised and excited by the show and absolutely love coming to work, but I wouldn't say I carry Cuddy with me outside of work.
Laurie: That's a very interesting question. I like House certainly, and I hope he does well. As an actor, I want to make sure he stays dramatically interesting and believable. And while I never really thought about this, I guess I do carry him with me. There are moements when he makes me laugh way after the event. It can be a couple of years later and I will remember a moment or a funny line only he could have said, and think, "My God, this character is really alive for me." But then I'll realize I'm sitting in traffic, lauging like an idiot to myself.
Finally, how has the romance between House and Cuddy changed things between you two personally? Do you feel a little flirtier with each other or more free somehow?
Laurie: There's no danger in that question, Lisa. Absolutely no danger whatsoever.
Edelstein: Oh, no, Hugh. That's not a land mine at all.
REMINDER: If you didn't type this up yourself, a link to the source would be courteous.
From Ausiello:
Question: Can’t wait for Candice Bergen on House. What is her first encounter with House like? —Joel
Ausiello: He doesn’t know she’s Cuddy’s mom when they first meet, so I’m guessing it’s going to get awkward quick. BTW, two other notes about Candice: She arrives for Cuddy’s birthday, and her two episodes will be nonconsecutive.
Question: Should we read anything into Chase’s sexual overture to Thirteen on House last week? Was he really interested in her, or is it just a case of a horny single doctor? —Elizabeth
Ausiello: Let’s ask exec producer David Shore, shall we? David, should we read anything into Chase’s sexual overture to Thirteen on House last week? Was he really interested in her, or is it just a case of a horny single doctor? “If there is something more going on there, you won’t see it for a while,” he says, “because of Olivia ‘s movie schedule .”
