House
Well beyond the immediate aftermath, Kutner's shocking suicide will have lasting repercussions for House, the remainder of his team, and others in the brilliant doc's orbit. But who will be affected, and how? In a conference call with reporters, House creator David Shore, executive producer Katie Jacobs and Kutner's portrayer, Kal Penn, answered burning questions about the latest episode of Fox's hit drama.
Was Kal Penn — who asked off the show to take a job with the White House — taken aback by Kutner's suicide?
"Everyone is always taken aback with every episode of our show," Penn told TVGuide.com. "But obviously yeah, you're connected to the character you play ... so there was more than a little bit of shock and loss when I found out. I was probably as shocked as the audience."

Lisa Edelstein and Hugh Laurie, House
At this moment, neither House nor Cuddy knows what to make of their spontaneous, born-out-of-sadness lip-lock. He, of course, is passive-aggressively shrugging it off, while she tried to deny to Wilson that she had any interest in her underling ... only to instead prove that she has thought about it. A lot. At the close of this week's episode, House got as far as his boss' doorstep, but couldn't quite bring himself to ring her bell (literally or figuratively).
Should fans of Fox's House brace themselves for one of television's most unorthodox romances? Read on for executive producer Katie Jacobs' take on the hot topic.

Hugh Laurie by Andrew Macpherson/Fox
Outwit, outplay, out-House. That could be the slogan for the third season of Fox’s medical drama. “At the end of last season, House was alone without a team,” says executive producer Katie Jacobs. “[This year], he’ll struggle to decide if he needs a team. He’ll call in more [doctors] than he can use and whittle them down over the weeks in a very Survivor-like fashion.” But expect some of the “contestants” to be left standing. “We’ll have new cast members,” assures Jacobs. “We’re going to have a lot of fun with it.” Let the games begin. —Reporting by Nadine Mendoza

Question: I don't want Cameron to be with House or Chase. Bring on Cameron and Wilson! Any chance of that happening?
Answer: I think a House-Wilson pairing is more likely. Speaking of House, did you see my exclusive scoop on David Morse joining the cast? He's playing a cop who's out to get Hugh Laurie's ornery alter ego. "House is going to piss off the wrong guy, and that guy just happens to be a cop," explains exec producer Katie Jacobs. "[He's] really going to hold House accountable."

Question: For the love of Snapple, give me House scoop!
Answer: Finally got some good House-Cameron (Hameron?) dirt for you kids. Exec producer Katie Jacobs hints that the season premiere could mark a major turning point for the star-crossed MDs. "In the first episode," Jacobs previews, "Cuddy gives [House] Ketamine. I don't want to reveal how temporary or to what degree it works, but it does have some success. Now, Cameron has always been attracted to House — in his opinion because he's wounded. So, I think House is gonna want to know from Cameron if [her feelings are the same] if he's healthy and walking around. And what will that relationship be if he's no longer that wounded puppy?"
