14 DAY TRIAL // Towards the end of season 5 of the popular medical drama, Gregory House and Lisa Cuddy finally got to reenact what the audiences have been waiting for probably since the beginning of the series, albeit only in House’s imagination. Understandably, fans imagined the love affair would finally get to become real in the upcoming season, but creator David Shore is telling Michael Ausiello of The Ausiello Files that this is not happening.
Speculation had it for long that House and Cuddy – a couple known as Huddy to fans – would finally get their chance to live out their romance but it seems the series creator is bent on postponing that for as long as possible. If and when the two will get to be together is not yet certain, but what is known so far is that it will most surely not happen in season 6, which is to hit television screens this September.
“We’re stepping back from it a little bit. We’re not ignoring it.” Shore tells Ausiello of the Huddy romance. “We have to carry forward… It’s going to go someplace eventually. But the beginning of this season is primarily focused on House trying to find some semblance of sanity, and not completely succeeding.” the creator adds, speaking of what the focus of the upcoming season will fall on.
Fans know that season 5 finale saw House admitted to a mental institution after his hallucinations got increasingly worse. Because of this, the entire upcoming season will be centered solely on his trying to come up with an answer to his affliction, while also showing him “tormenting” the other inmates in the very specific House manner. The second promo trailer for season 6 indicates that a love interest for the doctor will also appear sometime in the season, but her identity is yet to be revealed.
“House M.D.” season 6 premieres on September 21. Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda has been cast as House’s roommate at the mental institution, while German-born actress Franka Potente will guest star in at least two episodes.
