HUGH LAURIE: HOUSE WILL MISS LISA EDELSTEIN BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON

[@Yamudu369]

Chemistry between them was awesome..both were adorable together

[@nahue4412]

The scriptwriters said that their relationship was what kept the series alive that they did not expect the output of Lisa Enderstein at all but in the end I think I miss it, I miss it and it sucks but I do not think it's Lisa's fault

[@Angel-HC]

I watched all of House over the course of two months, so I definitely noticed the show's progression more and more into darkness. House became more damaged and broken as the seasons went on. I thought season 8 definitely felt darker than it would have with Cuddy. I thought the last few episodes were beautiful, though. You really got a sense that Wilson was all House had left and couldn't live with the fact that he'd be losing his best friend. It was shockingly believable and really tugged at your heart seeing the last scenes unfold.

[@Metal-Possum]

I prefer to believe season 8 didn't exist. It jumped the shark, some parts of the season were totally nonsense, such as Park on acid "seeing a leprechaun" and the absolutely terrible first person CGI they would have been better off not including. In fact, her whole character was terrible.

[@heatheryovanoff6361]

How lovely to hear Hugh Laurie speaking in his native English accent for a change 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@tjjordan4207]

Even if she was to leave the show, I would have brought her back for just one episode and paid her a large amount for it. Just one single episode that would have had Cuddy and House finally have a talk and find some kind of closure. Have her be angry and frustrated, just something that is better than her disappearing and only being referenced a couple of times with no answer to what happened to her afterwards. I can easily see a good writer putting together a scene of it ending on a bittersweet note, where the two make peace and decide to leave the other alone.

[@ShawnMenchaca]

Damn season 8 finale was near perfect. Should have had Cuddy at the funeral!

[@julianacorrea6917]

[@thaohuynh5598]

I thought so too, but in retrospect, she is really not that type of person.

[@Metal-Possum]

Why? Just for a feel good inclusive happy ending? There is no realistic situation where someone like Cuddy would attend the funeral of the person who tried to do grevious harm to her and those around her. Cuddy was done at the end of season 7. Season 8 was already creative suicide, no need to drag her character down with it.

[@Bonesph]

Not the funeral but in the montage of everyone's life going on.

[@FallenAngel9979]

S8 fucked up. Big time. The end was an insult

[@m.t.8185]

Thats sweet. I missed her too, i skipped whole 8th season reading only plots "when is she comming back" and since she never did i jumped to the last episode and the show ended.

[@millysotuttoio2273]

Me too...

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

I purposely refused to skip to the end, because I wanted it to be a surprise (whether she came back or not). With each episode, I was tempted to search if she ever came back. I'm kinda stunned that she didn't and the narrative out there (that there was a pay cut and she refused to take it) doesn't make sense. There was less of a budget, but somehow they found the money to hire two new cast members? I find it stunning, quite frankly, that with the two of them having such strong chemistry that she'd just go away and not even come back for a final episode.

[@abeltesfaye_]

It's sad that she wasn't paid what she asked for despite other leads being paid more than her! This show's producers treated her horribly throughout this

[@michael1]

She wasn't really a lead. All of the characters other than House were really supporting roles. I guess she should have realised that the title character is the only one who they really had to pay to keep. All the others could be replaced (and effectively were as the series progressed albeit they kept minor roles giving them brief appearances - and, of course, one of them was the obvious replacement for Cuddy) - it wasn't like Friends where you had 6 people with an equal billing who could negotiate together.

[@squamish4244]

@@michael1 Laurie was the only irreplaceable person on the show, but it was still a total fuck-up by greedy producers. They did what has happened to so many shows, diminished the quality by dragging out a show to squeeze money out of it when it had clearly come to its natural end. Lisa didn't just leave for monetary reasons either, she felt the writers went too far with the Season 7 finale, which was ridiculous IMO. House went from a cynic to someone capable of potential MURDER in a jealous rage? Wtf? The show was already jumping the shark before that because Lisa was leaving and the writers needed to force an ending to their relationship, but this was when it flew right over the shark. Season 8 felt like a different show. Sure, Laurie was the main character, but the turnover of most of the cast made it feel unfamiliar. Who are these people? It also felt like in order to justify another season, they destroyed House's evolution as a character until the last few episodes, and used the "people don't change" theme of earlier seasons as an after the fact justification, when they had clearly intended to show House changing for the better with Cuddy. And we're left knowing Wilson will die, leaving House completely alone and without his source of Vicodin anymore. So knowing his tendencies, he'll probably kill himself. Great.

[@Trans909]

Who DOESN'T love Lisa Edelstein? She's one of the best actresses on the small screen these days. That smile alone could thaw a whole room full of frozen hearts. It sure broke my heart when she decided not to come back. I think she wanted to, very badly, but they just couldn't make it work. She deserved a raise because, without her, "House MD" wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining. Those dream sequences while she's dressed up in that Broadway outfit, singing "Come On Get Happy" with House or that schoolgirl ensemble (yikes!) were just astonishing. It made me want to see some of her earlier work and folks, let me tell you, EVERYTHING she did up to "House MD" was just as quirky and funny and fascinating as you might expect. That woman is a force of nature. I'm bingeing on "The Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce" and she's just MARVELOUS. Her character is nothing like Cuddy--and I can't take my eyes off her. Oh, those eyes. Oh, that smile. Oh gosh, the way she moves and the smooth realness of the way she does her dialogue. Yes, it was a loss when she had to move on. The show suffered as a result and then finally ended on kind of a down note. But Lisa Edelstein is still providing some fine, fine entertainment. I hope she wins an Emmy, soon, because she sure deserves it.

Her contract ran out at season 7. She wanted a raise and they were making cut backs so they didn't give her one. In an interview with her she gives another reason, but of course she wouldn't say the real reason. I'm sure it was about money because if it wasn't, she would have atleast made a quick appearance for the funeral.

[@DenmiSama]

I know... all that hype to make Huddy and for what... Still haven't forgiven Lisa Edelstein for that.

You're stupid. Her leaving had nothit to do with her breakup, it was writers' fault, not hers.

[@junbh2]

They broke up long before she left the show.

[@scottcheg9]

The reason she left was because the producers accepted a higher paying contract for Olivia Wilde and then tried to negotiate a lesser rate for Lisa edlestein and Omar Epps which he accepted but Lisa declined because she was in a much better bargaining position, considering the show finale lacked the catharsis it needed for the sake of keeping the pretty one it’s obvious she was right to take a better gig elsewhere. The show had 3 key character house, Wilson and cuddy no one else really matters, without Lisa they had no show and Hugh clearly knew it.

[@CaptChiggs]

She just couldn't make it :/ That's what sucks about show biz. I really liked season 8. House MD was probably the only show that stayed consistently snarky and interesting throughout every season. Just my 2 cents though.

I can't BELIEVE that some in the comments are insinuating that the show's 8th season was a drag with her. On the contrary, the show became very soapy & less about medicine, & pain, & what made the show great at the start with the love interest. I though 8 was the best season since Season 3. And without Lisa it became about the medicine again. The reason why the last episode SUCKED so bad is because it was nothing to do with the patient, the hospital, the science behind the medicine. It was just a tedious soap episode. I also love 8 because Dr Robert Chase returns. I was more moved of the friendship he & House built up than that of Wilson. Chase was the best character in House other than Cutner.
