House: Cuddy kisses and tells

Bow chick-a wow wow.

Warning: Slight spoilers ahead for those that don't follow upcoming storylines in House. The writers for Fox's House have no problems dropping bombshells on the hit show--we're still reeling over Kal Penn's exit--but what's in store over the next few episodes may be the mother of them all.

Actress Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Lisa Cuddy on House chatted with the media about the big event that Fox hasn't been shy about promoting: a hookup between Cuddy and cranky Dr. House (Hugh Laurie).

"It was great," Edelstein said of filming the scene. "I have a great relationship with Hugh Laurie, and he's super sexy, so who could complain?" She added, "You're not going to see me get naked or anything, but it was a pretty hot scene."

But it's not the fact that Cuddy and House get it on that's the big drama, it's the repercussions--hence Fox being okay with letting one cat out of the bag, but not the whole litter. Trying to get details out of Edelstein, however, is about as difficult as trying to change House's mind.

"I can't tell you that!" "I can't divulge." "I don't want to ruin it." Those statements, and variations of them, were repeated several times by the actress when pushed for information about what happens between Cuddy and House. All she will say is, "I loved the way they got House and Cuddy together… they were suffering so much and that's what brought them together." But will it last?

"I don't necessarily think it will ever be satisfying in terms of them settling down and saying, 'This is what we're doing,'" Edelstein says of their chances. "I think [Cuddy] has problems with men, she likes the messed up ones. I can relate." Edelstein says we'll get a better idea of how things shake out in the May 11 finale.

Talk moves to the season's other bombshell--Kal Penn's exit by way of his character's suicide a few weeks ago. "We were all taken by surprise, they really kept it under wraps," she explains. "For Kal, I think it's a really bold move. He has a passion for politics and certainly the Obama administration. I think it's very brave [what he's doing]."

House airs Monday nights on Fox.

    It's about damn time! Cuddy and House always seemed to have that sexual tension, right from the beginning. I'm a huge Cuddy fan so i want her to find someone, either House or Wilson would have been fine with me. Though House might hurt Cuddy in the end, more than Wilson ever would.

    I'm really surprised that Lisa revealed anything about the upcoming episodes since the cast had to sign a confidentiality agreement. While I am a big Huddy fan, I really don't foresee a relationship working between them. What brings a couple together can ultimately break them apart and I think that will happen with House and Cuddy. House has to many issues to deal with before he can commit himself to anyone.

    Lisa Edelstein is super sexy, and a great actress. When her character is engaging House in a battle of wits and words, she's intense and formidable, smart and when she's compassionate and/or vulnerable, she draws you in to see a complex person dealing with the roles in her life and career, you can feel for her. She's just hot, . . from head to toes, IMO. There are just not enough full length shots of her, . . or 13, but I digress. Kiss and tell.
