Lisa Edelstein off of House
There will be Huddy no more on House - co-star Lisa Edelstein will not return to the veteran Fox medical drama next season. Edelstein was one of 3 main cast members of House, along with Robert Sean Leonard and Omar Epps, whose original contracts expired at the end of this season. Leonard and Epps re-upped earlier this month when Edelstein's deal also looked on track to make. But word is that she ultimately decided not to return to series for the next eighth (and likely final) season, putting an abrupt end to the on-again-off-again romance between her character, Dr. Cuddy and Hugh Laurie's Dr. House, aka Huddy. Along with Epps, Edelstein had been asked to take a cut from her most recent salary of $175,000 an episode, but the offer was still pretty good, so she is walking away from more than $2 million. Her departure will leave Olivia Wilde as the only regular female cast member but, with Wilde's hot movie career, she is rarely on full-time. As Nellie said, this came as a shocker to me as well. While this season had some unsteadiness to it, it seemed like they were finally getting things working with the Huddy relationship that could get wrapped up next season for the finale. Although, of course, it could be a contract ploy |

That's a lot of money in the real world, but for a successful show like House, not so much. The fat kid on the Ashton Kutcher show makes twice that!

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
How do you wrap up House's storyline next year with no Cuddy? I mean the whole House/Cuddy thing kind of has dominated the last few years..
Maybe it ends with Wilson and House...just as it should be. |
Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
I'm sure she'd be back at the end to end things on the proper note, especially with everyone assuming that next year is the last.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
I watch House regularly, but it's not something I care a lot about. I'd be pretty upset if there was a thread title like this for a show I do care about though.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
that's too bad. wonder if this will sort of end like the jorja fox thing on csi. leaving but then ultimately coming back.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
Considering season 8 is supposed to the last, I don't think that'll really be possible.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
Good news for VH1 if they wanna do another one of those "I Love the 90s" type shows. She'll be available again.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
I hope this is just negotiation, Wrapping up the House/Cuddy storyline seems like a main point of the show.

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
The producers still have time to simply kill Cuddy off-screen in next week's season finale, and leave House with the daughter, and imbue next season with sort of a Lone Wolf and Cub feel to it.

:) I'm not so concerned about the Huddy story ending, but I am worried about who his new boss will be. I don't want a rehash of the Chi McBride storyline, and the 'House vs Authority Figure' storyline angles have pretty much been exhausted over the years, so they're going to need to come up with something new to keep it fresh. But what? |
Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
Clearly House will become the new Head of Medicine

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
If Edelstein is gone for all or most of next season, I'd like to see Sela Ward come back to the show, I think she was in it during the first and second season.
What about Cameron replacing Cuddy as Dean of Medicine? ;) |

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
Sorry to say this - but I hated the Huddy story lines. So for me this is good news - meaning that next year they won't dip back into this.
Hopefully, they will be forced to come up with some new out of the box story arc for the last season. |

Re: Lisa Edelstein off of House
that's just insult to injury since it was assumed (for a while) that she just was done working to take a break.

Where did you read that she left House to take a break? From everything that I read, it was pretty clear she left because they did not offer her enough. In fact, I think they were cutting her salary.
