Spring TV Preview: The Scoop on 26 Returning Shows
HOUSE
APRIL 28 · 9 PM · FOX
EPISODES LEFT: 4
WHERE WE LEFT OFF: ''Honestly, I can't quite remember,'' laughs Lisa Edelstein, who plays House's forever-beleaguered boss. ''What I know for certain is that it's nice to be working again.'' TV's nastiest M.D. (Hugh Laurie) had hired his new team of harried associates (Olivia Wilde, Peter Jacobson, Kal Penn) and was beginning to deal with a conundrum more perplexing than lupus: the romance between best bud Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) and associate wannabe Amber (Anne Dudek). ''One of my favorite moments in the last episode was House's realization that Wilson is, in essence, dating him,'' says exec producer David Shore. ''Amber's aggressive, pushy, controlling — just like House.'' Does that mean that Wilson and House are basically in love with each other? ''You know,'' laughs Shore, ''there's no good way to answer that question without creating all sorts of speculation.''
UP NEXT: The House/Wilson/Amber ''triangle'' will deepen. Shore says associates new and old will continue to have a presence, but won't reveal as much character development due to the loss of eight episodes. Still, says Edelstein, ''you'll see how everyone fits into the new structure.'' Look for Dr. Mean to treat a man afflicted with acute niceness and a season-ending two-parter in which House must battle through short-term-memory loss in order to solve a case. Will the finale bring a possible cast shake-up? ''Believe it or not,'' says Shore, ''that's not a simple question to answer.'' With House, it never is. —Jeff Jensen
