I like her I just don’t like her with Foreman!! I like them seperately! I’ve also kind of forgotten about chase and cameron! I was interested on cameron when she had a thing for House but after that nah! Never really liked Chase though he is good to look at. The only characters I really care about is House, Cuddy and Wilson.
jesus, i’ve never had a problem with olivia wilde (i’ve only ever hated her character) but this is CRAZY. i can’t believe she is so self-absorbed to think that the gay sex scene is the only reason people hate her character. Guess what – she sucks! no personality or interesting past, and now i have to admit that O.W. is a crap actress. jeez this is so stupid.
13 GO DIE!
I just started watching House this season. I hate this character. I am gay so that is not the issue. I don’t think there are enough truely gay characters on TV. If anything making 13 “gay for a day” during her spiral into self destruction was…Well I don’t want to rant but trust me the gay scenes are not why people hate 13.
Why does everyone hate 13 so much? she’s actually kind of interesting. i dont think the gay sex scene had anything to do with it though. i’d say it’s because she and foreman kind of took over the show for a while. i hate the foreteen pairing, so if that ends it’ll all be good.
in my opinion the caracter of thirteen makes the whole story more exciting, because seeing the dark side of dr hadley is really great .
I really like thirteen. the old team dont have to get more screentime because they arent any more in the team..
the scene was hot…
its just that her character is boring and I want more House and Wilson, not 13 and foreman >.> boring
Come on!! That scene was awesome, if only because it led to one of the all-time greatest House reactions to learning of what happened between the two. And for the record, her character is just fine, the actress is just fine, and she offers some excellent eye candy to boot! The 13 hate is nothing but jealous women. As long as the show offers the beautifully-written “House-isms”, I could give two shits if they spend a whole episode on how Mongolian Yak Herdsman live.
