Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer and Omar Epps, House
Question: Now that Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars are over, I've directed all of my attention to House. Got scoop?
Answer: It's official: Replacements are being sought for Foreman, Chase and Cameron! Producers will be introducing four new underlings — two male, two female — at the start of the new season. But before you freak out, keep in mind what I've been telling you every week for the past month: It's my understanding that Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer and Omar Epps all will be returning, making for one very crowded canvas.

Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer by Greg Gayne/Fox
With all three interns leaving the nest of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in last night's House season finale, will the hospital hallways be empty next season? Quite the contrary, the show's producers hinted to TV Guide at a recent press conference. Though Executive Producer Katie Jacobs pointed out that fellowships only last three years, Omar Epps has already said he'll be returning to the show. Fans are hoping Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer will also be back.But are new cast members in the cards as well? "We do want to open up the world a little bit," says Executive Producer David Shore. "A large chunk of the fun of the show is House relating to people and people playing off House. The broader and wider we can make that the better."Shore says things are up in the air at the moment, but could House turning to Cuddy’s bevy of students for answers in the finale be a clue as to what and whom viewers can expect to see by his side next season? Stay tuned — by Bek...

It wasn't the most exciting finale I've ever seen. It was subtle yet managed to surprise with a twist: House was left with no ducklings on his payroll. But even that move raised only my eyebrow and not my heart rate — as, say, last season's finale did.First of all, House fired Chase. Just when I started to like him. I blame Wilson. He's always buzzing in House's ear about this or that. Now it's about House and his fear of change. Next thing you know Chase has no job. Nice work, James. Then there was Marina (Mercedes Renard) and her mysterious illness. Roiling seas aside, Esteban (Omar Avila)and Marina's desperate voyage from Cuba to New Jersey for treatment at the hands of Princeton-Plainsboro's foremost diagnostician resulted in a case that flatlined pretty quickly. After all the focus on losing Marina's medical records at sea, this didn't have an impact on her treatment. Then Esteban, the husband shown to be extremely concerned about the love of his life, would only raise a l...

Omar Epps, House
Child prodigy. Ex-rapper. Dreamed of becoming the first black president. Who better to take on Dr. House than Omar Epps? As Season 3 of the Fox series draws to a close, TV Guide invited Epps to weigh in on Foreman's fate.
TV Guide: Why does your character, Dr. Foreman, quit Dr. House's team? Omar Epps: The short answer is he doesn't want to become House. House is judgmental — he's callous toward humanity. Foreman is an optimist, [but] he sees the dark side that House always talks about. It's getting to be a bit much.
TV Guide: Will you be back full-time next season? What will Foreman be doing? Epps: I will be back. Obviously, it will be different — but I don't think even the writers know how yet.
TV Guide: Did you like the idea of change? Epps: The show has goo

Just ask him to stay already! Am I the only one who wanted to reach through the screen and scream this at House? Foreman wants to stay, House wants him to stay, but they are both too stubborn to make that happen without the other asking for that privilege. Men. The funny thing is, Foreman is leaving because he doesn't want to turn into House, yet here he is acting just like the man. Methinks it's time for a little self-reflection, Eric.How funny was this week's patient? Nate, played with finesse by Nick Lane was an obnoxious teenager suffering, it turns out, from hemachromatosis — too much iron in his blood — which had him in excruciating pain. Much to his beleaguered mother's (Colleen Flynn) dismay, Nate's personality problems were not a side effect of his illness. Nate's prickly style had Chase declaring him evil and Foreman sedating him purely to shut him up. Is it any wonder that House liked him? In the midst of figuring out Nate's problem, Foreman tried to solve a li...

Timing really is everything. Could Matty (Dabir Snell), on the verge of donating his life-saving bone marrow to Nick (Jascha Washington), his leukemia-stricken brother, have picked a worse time to get sick? Sure, it wasn't Matty's fault that his house was built on chicken droppings and that he played in dirt filled with gross bacteria that infected him with hystoplasmosis. But still, tick tock. Nick's got four days to live and Matty needs to be healthy to be a donor. What's worse is that it's taking his doctors nearly all of those four days to make a diagnosis.Maybe if Foreman, still reeling from the loss of last week's patient, wasn't, understandably, pussyfooting around his diagnoses, things might get done faster. You see, he's reluctant to kill again — and who wouldn't be? But this irks House, who, of course, has turned on the countdown clock to Foreman's dismissal. You only get so much time to lick your wounds in this hospital. With that in mind I'm glad that Foreman pulled...
