'House' exclusive: Huddy fans -- your time has come!

The bitterness of those who want to see House with Cameron/Wilson/someone else never fails to amuse me.

What I respect about the producers is that they choose to follow their own vision and convictions, instead of catering to an audience – regardless of what those so called fans will tell you. The Huddy fans got lucky that, ultimately, they choose to go in that direction.

I personally like House better when he’s feeling lonely and miserable, it makes for a better show, however, I want to see him in a relationship. We’ve only seen glimpses of what he had with Stacy, so it’s certainly going to be interesting experiecing the whole thing now, imo, whether it’s with Cuddy, Wilson, Cameron or Taub, I don’t care, I just want to see it.

People all seem to think that everyone ships. Most people I know are not for any particular couple. They are only for and about House, and the way they ended the finale sucked. If they had done it well a lot of people would have been fine with it.

omg, i TOTALLY agree with all of you!! (except for those few spoilsports lol.) I mean, when the season finale was on, the ENTIRE time i was completely spazzing out, like, “okay is it gonna be now? now?? NOW???” and then that chick died, and i freaking bawled, and then he went to his apartment and pulled the mirror off the wall, and i cried even HARDER(this episode REALLY played with my emotions, ohmahgahhh), thinking he was going to relapse, and i was like, “he is NOT going to go back on that hard work to stay clean!” and then when he actually popped it open, my father(in the other room) yelled at me to shut up
And then, when the door opened, i was like “stop him stop him stop him!!” and then it was cuddy, and i think i died for a moment THENNN, when she went into the bathroom with him, i was about to start screaming, and when they KISSED…i made this weird, high-pitched scream/squeal thing(because i didnt want my dad to get mad), and jumped up off my couch and started jumping up and down clapping my hands, and laughing, while crying the whole time, but this time from happiness! AND THEN, when he was like “how do i know this isnt a dream?” i sat down REALLY fast and trained my eyes on that freaking screen, and she said, “did you take the pills?” and he looked down, and smiled, before dropping them into the floor, i totally spazzed, like, 3 times what i had been doing before xD and my dad opened the door and was about to yell, but when he saw what was on the screen, he just shook his head and left, because he knew that id been waiting for this FOREVER!

…but yeah. that was my 100% true Huddy reaction.

oh, and i think that i should mention, that in the beginning, when she tells house that lucus proposed to her, i cried, which is exactly what i KNOW house was doing inside.

and i NEVER CRY.

…yet i was totally bawling through this entire thing! …i love you writers, and producers, and actors, and the crew guys; i dont think the crew people get enough credit, because i mean, the camera guys are the people who get the BEST angles, the lighting people have to decide how to set the mood, the make-up people have to get the actors looking even awesomerrr, and things like that ))

so, amazing episode. amazing show. dont listen to those haters out there who say that this is becoming a soap opera, because this is NOTHING like a soap

Jess<3

i had tears in my eyes! and my daughter in law didnt see it so she asked that i dont tell her what happened so hunny u r in for a good show…I LOVE HOUSE IT MY # 1 FAV SHOW

The more I hear the less I like Huddy. Go back to House the show and House the character.

Also annoying
This Barnett woman is so annoying. She goes on and on about her book in the fandom as though she is the only person who ever wrote a book and so many of us are sick of hearing about it. Not one person but her is pushing it and she is throwing herself a party to kick off the book. She pre-sold copies on Amazon sure because part of the House fandom will buy anything House but that doesn’t mean it is a good book or that it would sell to a general audience. I am not panning the book as some people may like it. I don’t like her House writing on the blog and am not planning to buy the book so will never find out. I have no problem with the book but resent that twitter is nothing but that from her tweet after tweet when I don’t even follow her and her friends just keep retweeting. Friends will write reviews for her fannys will buy the book and she will have an even more inflated ego. She was enough of a pain pushing her blog before but this is over the top. I just hope that once the book is out and her friends buy it and fawn all over her like she wants, she will shut up about it and let people get back to their real lives. If being humble is an attractive characteristic, I hate to think what this makes her.

Pretty much. But hey, no relationship on the show lasts or is happy. I’ll just sit back until they both end up miserable and apart.

Poor Lucas. I liked him.

You obviously never saw the season finale of The Sopranos

your retarded, and all of you “agree”-ers are also retarded.

I agree with Monica.

I liked most of it until that last scene. House and Cuddy haven’t had any chemistry in a couple of seasons now, yet she decides in the space of a couple of hours to break her engagement for him?? And force poor Rachel to put up with him as a stepdad?? Sorry, but Huddy was over the second Cuddy got a baby. I don’t care how much House has grown since the hospital, he’s not ready for that and won’t be for a very long time. It’s irresponsible of her to think otherwise.

So true, Bob. Also, for the record, the SERIES finale of The Sopranos was brilliant.

nevermind, that was from gossip girl.

It’s not all House fans. Just the coked-out ones that can’t get laid irl apparently.

I read this as “need to get hobbits.”

Tara
Welcome to our House Freak ZONE
why are you here ?? trying to stir up trouble is school out for summmer ?

Tara’s hobby is trolling.

…Bye bye now. (as I laugh and wave good bye)

Agree

Who knows how long it was between the site and her showing up to House’s place? I think people are so worried about the fact that they put House and Cuddy together you’re picking at every detail. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to get the idea that Cuddy just called Lucas up and said “hey, umm gonna try to work things out with House so it’s over, thanks for everything”. And why are we questioning how she got in to his apartment, she obviously just walked in the door…I can see some people being unhappy about them taking that step with House, putting him with Cuddy, but to say that little details like how she got in ruined the episode is ridiculous. And if they had House overdose one more time or slip back into that same old routine it would be awful. Who honestly wants to see him just constantly overdose and be on drugs. He’s moved on and is growing and changing people, you should too!

What’s great about the show is the medicine AND the personal life stories. Just medicine can be boring, and pretty much every show involves personal stories about it’s characters. ER was on for what, 15 years??? because of the personal involvements of the different characters throughout the years. You may not be a huddy freak, but trust me, the show would not be as successful as it is without the love stories. Why do you think so many viewers waited so long for Huddy to happen. They’re all pretty happy too. GO HUDDY!!!, AND PLEASE CONTINUE INTO SEASON 7.

stop stalking her

I’m more disturbed by your seriously disrespectful reaction to her honest post.

Why are you demeaning people with whom you disagree? To judgmentally gloat and look like a stalker? Are all “Huddy” fan’s like you? If so….no wonder ratings have gone down consistently every year since Season 4.

But he wasn’t perfectly happy, he wasn’t happy at all. I think that’s been clear since the beginning of the series. All along Wilson has said that House had gotten more miserable with each passing day and was making the lives of those around him more miserable as well. House is still a long way from happy and healthy, but I think that since he was released from Mayfield he’s slowly been trying to make his life better– I don’t think they’re saying you need romance to be happy, I think they’re trying to say that you need to work on the relationships with the people in your life, platonic or romantic, to begin to be happy– no one is happy alone and House has been alone for a long time.

Well said laylagalise.

Well said laylagalise.

Actually, they are plenty of people who say/think “I love you, but I wish I didn’t”. We don’t always fall for the easiest person to love.

Well said, Petal. Well said.

The thing is that was totally realistic and totally something Cuddy would say. She doesn’t want to love House, she wants to love a guy like Lucas who can be normal and have this happily ever after life with, but she doesn’t really want it. Loving House is insane and it will never turn out to be this easy going, smooth sailing relationship. Same goes for House, he fought his feelings for Cuddy strongly for 2 seasons, a relationship with her with never be normal either for many reasons, but he loves her. Not everyone falls in love with who they think they should. I think it was a great way to push them together finally, I was dreading that over done scene where she makes it up to the wedding day and then decides it’s House as she turns into a runaway bride.

I AGREE. Over the many seasons, I have fallen in love with House myself, he is such a misunderstood person. Wilson and Cuddy understand him the best, and Cuddy is a great match. She is sexy, strong, smart, and can go toe to toe with him. When House described himself as “broken” in that final scene, tears welled in my eyes. When they kissed, it was great, and then when the camera panned in on their clasped hands, it symbolized so much. It wasn’t about sex/lust at that moment, it is a new direction for them. I went to bed dreaming about that episode! So good. And I agree with the comments, this can’t be a perfect relationship, but it can be a perfect House relationship. House needs and deserves this. This relationship really can last…it will be fun to see Huddy spar as lovers. Seriously will be funny. I love this show so much!!

Guess I’m in the minority here, but the ending to last night’s show felt so contrived, it almost had a ‘Dave and Maddie before they jumped into bed together’ vibe to it.

She spends the whole hour talking about moving on and rips House a new one, which is actually deserved as it seems like he’s taken his annoying acidic behavior over the line to a totally unlikeable level this season.

In fact, there is no way “Huddy” will ever work, yet there is probably also no way they can go back to the way it was either.

Let’s face it, this show is on its final legs…let next season be its last and maybe they can give it some decent closure.

Like you and a million others, I
was thrilled yet uncertain if this was real. Now I am looking forward to next season.

Ah, “your retarded”, the mating call of the unintentionally ironic…

Nice try, adamfan, but go back and read the interview. Everything we saw in that final scene happened. No hallucinations this time.

Uh, I don’t think so adamfan. I did think at the beginning that maybe something horrible would happen, like Cuddy dying, because of contract disputes or something. But it is pretty obvious from the interview that no one died and there isn’t going to be some hallucination. Sheeesh.

@adamfan, I think you may be the one who is hallucinating.

The reason he left the cane at the accident site was because he felt good about what he did and he wasn’t feeling any pain.

People, get a grip. Posters tend to use hyperbole when talking about an especially satisfying episode. Don’t take it so freakin’ literally.

It might be the perfect House relationship, but is it going to be good for Cuddy? Ultimately it may be her undoing. We see House trying to go back to his old ways and (due to Mr. Laurie’s acting skills) realizing, with just a looke in his eyes, that it can’t be that way anymore. That he may not ever be the doctor he once was. But, right now, in this moment, he is willing to let that happen for a try at happiness.

Cue the shark, motorcycle and driver!

JenR – I totally agree with you! You could see it in Cuddy’s eyes that she is seeing him as the man she fell for years ago. I was hoping against hope that by the end of the episode, something, ANYTHING, would happen to make House feel better and not give up. It went far beyond my expectations and I am ecstatic!!

Glad to read that I’m not the only one who felt this way. I didn’t even factor in the baby, but that’s yet another reason it’ll never work.

Glad to read that I’m not the only one who felt this way. I didn’t even factor in the baby, but that’s yet another reason it’ll never work.

House is unhappy to the bone, no one that miserable can possibly bring anything positive to a relationship. He thrives on making people unhappy.

In reality, yes, but this is dramatic television. Did you really expect them to have it?

“House” and “happy” don’t belong in the same sentence. The only possible outcome is for Cuddy to become UNhappy.

That was the best line of the whole episode. I felt that line down in my soul. …. and the line that preceded it.

People always feel like something’s being “shoved down their throats” if they simply don’t like what’s happening. Frankly, I don’t get it either. They’ve not only hinted at it for six years, they’ve come right out and said it, repeatedly, both on the show and in real life.

Only disappointment was I thought he should have said “I Love You” back. Would have been a BIG step for House.

Agree. Don’t know why people who hate the show bother to read the recap AND the comments AND even post their own ! Wow, you guys really need to get a job or something.

they did give her pain meds, and not just anyone would go under that building, hello unstable. and house is a surgeon, he knows more about the human body then any dr they could have found, he was her best bet. and it wasn’t his fault she died either.

“If she were to come in and stop him from taking the pills by saying something like “I saw a whole new side of you that has made me think” and then the Huddy developed over the next season, then I’d feel better about it.”

I think that’s pretty much what happened. She didn’t put in so many words, but when they were in that hole and he made that speech to the patient, it was written all over her face.

Cuddy spent all season trying not to love House and move on, after his speech she realized what she was giving up, i.e. the love of her life, and that she was just settling for Lucas because he was what she was “supposed” to want.

omg give it up with the freaking moonlighting references, tv shows centered on a workplace will always have to rely on sexual tension among the characters and will always put them together, sometimes after a good build up and other times not until it’s too late and nobody gives a crap
i think house is probably doing it just before it’s too late, cuddy’s been clearly in love with him for at least the last three seasons but only held back because he’s such a mess, now she’s gonna give in, give it a try – sounds real enough for tv to me

TMB I agree with you completely. I’m just hoping that there was something more going on in this episode than “Huddy” that will unfold next season. As for those that don’t like the references to Moonlighting and jumping the shark, that sounds like denial to me.

No, not denial. I’m tired of the Moonlighting references when ANY show has a “will they or won’t they” couple. And I’m tired of people saying “jump the shark” when ANY show does something they don’t like.

repeated from my earlier comment:Cuddy spent all season trying not to love House and move on, after his speech she realized what she was giving up, i.e. the love of her life, and that she was just settling for Lucas because he was what she was “supposed” to want.

What about this season opener, Broken? Hugh Laurie gave us quite a performance!

Yep. I would’ve preferred a drug-induced coma over that ending. I guess brain damage fits into both equations, though.

They were factoring in international fans with that 20 million number. House has never recieved 20 million viewers for an episode in the US.

i agree with you. and also with zaphrod… i think exactly the fact that he hasn’t “magically” grown will be interesting to watch him struggle with a relationship, and see how far he can still grow

TMB I agree with you completely. I’m just hoping that there was something more going on in this episode than “Huddy” that will unfold next season. As for those that don’t like the references to Moonlighting and jumping the shark, that sounds like denial to me.

No, not denial. I’m tired of the Moonlighting references when ANY show has a “will they or won’t they” couple. And I’m tired of people saying “jump the shark” when ANY show does something they don’t like.

Yes, and some people have long been tired of the Huddy OMGITNEEDSTOHAPPEN BAAAWWWing. God knows the hate would be tenfold had that been Wilson instead of Cuddy.

lol I have been waiting an age for Brennan and Booth too!! Well one of my favourite shows are giving it a go yay for Huddy!!!Bones has certainly given us a lot to think about and hope their finale goes the same way although I think they will keep us waiting longer!

it’s the season finale.. if a formula show can’t even deviate then, then you know the show has completely stagnated

Gabi, you took the words right out of my mouth!!

I really had doubts about watching the season finale. I really thought I couldn’t do it based on the horribly fanficy BUT because of my love of HL I gave it a try. Man, I totally regret that I did! That was fanfic at its unimaginative worst! Truly a case of wonderful actors and completely dreadful writing. They should all be strapped to their chairs and be forced to watch S1 and S2 as penance…before they dare write one word for next season!!

I never said it was a cure-all, just that he deserves some happiness, and an exploration of his relationship with Cuddy is something I believe will help House and allow him to possibly get some happiness.

My mom HATES HOUSE and i’m completely obsessed with it so I know the feeling; All summer it’s re-runs for me

I think they’re pointing out the fact that over 20 million tuned in for last season’s finale, but this one was only a little over 10 million. That’s somewhat hard to ignore. Who knows why they lost those viewers, but they did lose viewers.

I have faith in the writers of the show, and the great actors..who could have imagined they were going to give us such a great finale..keep the faith!

no they are going to save that for a chuck bass type of moment to keep the love alive…. but dont worry he will say it
and he pretty much has implied it the whole season so….
i cried, paraded, clapped, laughed and then watched the end over and over BEST TV SHOW EVER!!!! YAY HUDDY!!! FINALY!!!

International fans don’t matter, sponsors are only interested in people who watch the show live in the usa. The days of House are few but I don’t care, I’m done with it.

Well, let me tell you why: It was as though all the usual House writers went into a lunch break, and this 13 year old girl came into their room, and put a picture of House and Cuddy kissing on the desk.Then the director came, and thought that picture was the script.
All the men realized it, but all the women – who have not grown up since they were 13 – were ecstatic.

Perhaps because after the dance TPTB concentrated solely on Hilson. Maybe viewers were not impressed by the sitcom tone of “The Down Low” or maybe they were turned off by the ides of Wilson being in a porn or maybe the idea of Wilson being unable to buy furniture shows just pathetic the character is

I’m sorry, but with all due respect, I think this is such a BS argument. I stopped watching this show last season because of “Huddy” – it felt contrived, and I hated that they sacrificed everything I liked about Cuddy to make this happen. I thought the dynamic between House and Cuddy was fantastic in the early seasons. I saw a House who said the most outrageous and inappropriate things imaginable in order to push Cuddy’s buttons; I saw a Cuddy who would just roll her eyes, and then proceed to verbally rap House’s knuckles with a ruler and get him to do what she needed him to do. What I did not see were two people who secretly yearned for each other. Then Shore decided he needed to pander to a segment of the internet fandom, so he completely changed that dynamic, and suddenly there was House and Cuddy, OMG, so in love and angsting all over the place about it, and…just blech. As a long-time fan, I was offended.

TL;DR – Yeah, you can be a fan of “House”, and still be pissed off enough about Huddy and all the damage it did to the characters to stop watching.

Since when was House the love of Cuddy’s life – and vice versa? Certainly not in the first 3-4 seasons of the show. I know Shore and Jacobs would like us to believe that these feelings of “true love” have always been there, but that is simply not the case. They can retcon all they like, but that doesn’t make it so.

Ummmm…NCIS, the number one scripted show, has been on as long, if not longer than House & Cuddy MD, formerly known as House MD. How do you explain why they manage to pull in almost 15 million people for each new episode, if as you say old shows lose viewers?

I am in total agreement.

I disagree. I think House and Cuddy have always had their underlying affection for each other even from season 1. She went to bat for him a million times and House would stick up and defend her in his own Houseian way. The whole thing with Stacy was a game for him, he was a jilted ex and she came back with her new husband, he got her to cheat on him and was satisfied. Even when Stacy was on the show there were a bunch of times when “what’s going on with House and Cuddy” came up. Even she asked Wilson about his interest in Cuddy. It took a turn to the front when she stayed with House in the hospital in the S4 finale. Then their feelings started coming out, the kiss in S5 now they’ve made a move maybe they don’t have to fight the feelings, but House was still so bad then. I think everyone’s complaing that this all came out of left field and it didn’t. It progressed as things happened. Sometimes it takes a big event to make your feelings come out, like him being in a coma after the e-shock therapy. House and Cuddy’s history has always been what it is, more and more has come out over the seasons- season 1 Vogler, Wilson, his team all brought up their past, and it’s been brought up in every other season as well.

Big problem instead, because we stopped watch the show in millions, let’s if you’ll say no problem when the show will be axed, lol

They’d have to go to Isengard.

House is not a top-ten show anymore, uh not even in the top twenty, so let’s it sink.

So Kim, do you want Ziva and DiNozzo to hook up?

I don’t know if saying this relationship is going to end so quickly is accurate. I think the reason they waited so long was because once these two make a commitment it’s going to be for a long haul. House and Cuddy know each other like an old married couple. It’s not like she’s just starting to date him and is going to find out all of these new things about him and vice-versa. I think she’s semi prepared to deal with everything he is. I think if they did put them together say in season 4 or season 5 they wouldn’t know what to do because then they would definitely have to break them up and where do they go from there? Not saying it’s going to be an easy relationship for them, but who wants to see that anyway.

I agree, it’s fine for people to be critical and opinionated on the show negatively or postively, but the whole thing with House and Cuddy not being believeable just blows my mind. They have been flirting and the sexual innuendos have been flying since season 1. Since literally the first episode ever shown. I think the writers did nothing for their pairing by stretching it out so long and this season definitely just pushed it with Lucas. Honestly, I think Cuddy and Lucas were far more unbelievable. It was uncomfortable and awkward from the first time he appeared. I don’t think they’re trying to make us think that Cuddy has been the source of his misery since the beginning, there were a lot of other things going on, but I think season 5&6 she was the reason for sure.

djesus, don’t worry people who are sooo negative about the season finale just hate House and Cuddy being together. There are millions of people all over the world that watch the show, love the show and will continue watching that don’t come online and comment on articles saying they’ll never watch the show again. People who watch and hate it generate just as much publicity and fanaticism as fans who watch and love it! Season 7 will be great!

Because Dexter is not House, simply. House and Stacy were good, House and Cuddy is just a cheap soap. Also Dexter is still Dexter, now House is just the Huddy show. You’ll see, season 7 is going to be a big fail

No, he didn’t believe it, even in the beginning of the finale when he was bringing her the book he asked her if there was trouble in paradise and then was on the phone with Wilson telling him to try to get some info from his ex-wife about her buying the new house. I’m more of a Cuddy fan than a House and Cuddy fan and although I’m absolutely elated that they finally are putting them together it’s more because it’s so obvious that Cuddy has always loved him and her scenes with Lucas were AWFUL. The actors had no chemistry and from the beginning every convo they had revolved around House. I love watching Lisa Edelstein and have loved her even more since she started her role as Cuddy and her interactions with House have always made for great tv. I’m excited to hopefully get to see more of her next season!!

Lol, the premiere will be a disaster, for me less than 10 millions

i know, i accept that entirely. but that line is still…how can you like that? I mean, she DOESN’T WANT to be in love with him. she thinks its a bad idea. how is that a good premise for a relationship? she knows he’s bad for her, remember her conversation with Wilson in ‘the itch’, when she talked about how it’d all go to hell after a few months, or when she explained she’s a mother now, and needs someone dependable?

i mean, when stacy came back, the whole idea was that house loved her and was pining for her so much but he couldn’t change for her, so he had to let her go. ‘people don’t change’has been a huge theme of the entire show, even now after giving up vicodin, when wilson started dating sam and insisted that she’d changed, house refused to accept it, and them breaking up AGAIN kinda proved that. they had the same fight they were meant to have ten years ago.

in short, i really appreciate huddy. i ship hilson, but i’m not delusional, and i totally understand that he’s in love with her and her him, vice versa, that she spent s6 being in denial about it and trying to move on but she couldn’t. fine. i just don’t think they’re capable of dealing with Rachel, and the fact that she’s his employer. i don’t think house, or anyone, is capable of change. and i used to be a big huddy shipper, so i smiled at the finale eventually, but i can still see what bad writing it was. and that it’ll be a trainwreck.

You “so called “haters”" still come on to Ausiello’s site and I’m sure any other site where there’s House news and bitch and moan and complain about a show that you supposedly hate. Everyone can complain about how bad the show’s gotten or throw out facts and figures about how many viewers the show’s lost because of the storylines yet you’re all still here commenting on websites about the show. The show’s ratings plummeted this season because of this stupid Lucas storyline and the fact that the new episodes were spread out in such a weird way. One week new episode then we’d be waiting like three or four weeks for the next. I’m not sure where the strong hate for House/Cuddy or Cuddy or Lisa Edelstein comes from, but to say that she or they are not a popular part of the show is just false.

There was nothing sexual about this episode at all. That end scene was far from sexual and far from two horny adults making moves. As a guy I can honestly say that end scene was astounding. The two of them just have that something and even if they’re not talking the way they look at each other says it all. I think some of you confuse fans of House and Cuddy as teenage nymphos. I’ve always liked House’s character and Laurie is pretty bad ass. He and Cuddy are good together on screen. That’s it. I think that was the most realistic way to get them together. Get them both to their breaking points and have them finally just break down and the their feelings come out.

Thanks Erin, you’re the proof that huddies are all idiots, lol
