    Have my babies :) ILY hide show

    What a babe! Flawlessly sexy and she knows it! Couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role of Lisa Cuddy. She is one of the reasons I mark House as a 10/10 show. Seen some of her interviews off the show and seems to have a decent personality as well. No suprise really, she has a very cute and infectious smile!

    Bottomline, I really hope she stays in House till the end! Cuddy and House = besssst! I personally, can't see another doing her part. She is invaluable to the show IMO. Anywho, I wish her the bestest of careers and well...

    Maybe a few more photoshoots Lisa ;)

    A fantastic actress and looks like (wow) if I was only 30 years younger all in all great job on your part look forward to seeing you in the new episods. hide show

    Cuddy,
    A fantastic actress love her to pieces shows a tramends amount of feelings. I think that the feelings she displays for House needs to go to the next step maybe a donation for Cuddy's motherhood.
    Even though it's only a tv show she must feel some times the House charicter is too much all the yelling and loudness. Love her eyes. Maybe Cuddy should be in some kind of danger and House can resque her could be inside or outside of the hospital a personal thing. sorry if I mess up i'm not the greatest speller exct. keep it up.Robert

    read the review hide show

    Lisa edelstein is without words, amazing! Out of all the roles she's played, obviously my favorite is House M.D. This role, proves how much she can nail a good hard script. It definately has a lot of major medical terms, and i give major props. But, getting away from the medical aspect of lisa edelstein, she's a gorgeous woman. She's definately one I look up to, and one i probably will always. She's my second favorite actress, ever! She will definately always be in that ranking with me. All in all lisa is an amazing woman. there's not much more you can say.

    love love love her ! hide show

    Before discovering House MD I had never heard of Lisa Edelstein nor did I recognise her from any other shows.
    Which ,if you look at the long list of shows on IMDB in which she had a role, would seem almost impossible.

    From the first episode of House MD she stunned me with her looks and acting ability. Her scenes with Hugh Laurie were spicy and clever!
    I love the lines the writers give to these two.. a Huddy scene always hits the right mark! Lisa's facial expressions are priceless and her comic-timing is flawless ! Where has this woman been hiding !

    On top of everything she seems to be a funny, down the earth, intelligent , caring human being in real life, what more is there to want from a rising star like Lisa E !

    She became one of the main reasons why I watch this show and has turned me into a Huddy shipper..(which is the naming for someone who would like Cuddy and House to hook up on the show..so I have read on one of the forums)

    When one day (god forbid..in the far far future) House MD comes to end, please don't let Miss Edelstein dissapear from the tvscreen !!
    Like Addison on Greys , Cuddy should have her spin-off !

    House's straight gal. Lisa Edelstein plays the perfectly bemused Dr. Cuddy. She is also gorgeous. hide show

    Lisa Edelstein plays the permanently frustrated Dr. Lisa Cuddy. It is a wonderful role though one often finds oneself wishing for more. Lisa Cuddy is House's Keeper and Edelstein plays this role well. To deal with Hugh Laurie's antics as the irrepressible Dr. House, Edelstein must be simultaneously frustrated, intrigued, outraged and gratified. Edelstein carries it off well. She has developed multiple ways in which to roll her eyes at House's antics and it is always an amusing scene when House and Cuddy interact. There is more than this to Lisa Edelstein though. She is one of those perfect feminine forms. It is not just her talent that draws attention, it is her perfect curves, stunning eyes, and raven locks. Lisa Edelstein is a magnificent example of woman and I cannot take my eyes off of her whenever she is on the screen. I can imagine that few could. Does anyone else think that the Mercy character she used to voice bore a startling resemblance to her?
