'House' is Over

FOX hasn't renewed 'House' for a ninth season. The current season, season eight, will be the last.

I loved 'House' from the very beginning, and even loved it as the cast lost Jennifer Morrison (Cameron), and gained Olivia Wilde (Thirteen).

This season, the loss of Wilde and of Lisa Edelstein (Cuddy) hurt the show a great deal. The cases have still been interesting, but the show has lost its tempo.

That being said, it's the end of an era, and I'll be sad that I won't have new episodes of 'House' to look forward to every week.

Say "goodbye" to Olivia Wilde (she's leaving 'House')

October has been a month full of changes for Olivia Wilde.

First, her divorce from Tao Ruspoli was finalized on October 3rd. They were actually married for eight years, pretty incredible when you think about the divorce rate in this country and the fact that she got married when she was eighteen.

Her time on 'House' was nowhere near as long. Wilde, who played Thirteen, is leaving the medical drama after spending a little over three seasons on the show. Wilde first appeared in October of 2007 in the episode "The Right Stuff" and will be making her final official performance in "Charity Case" airing this coming Monday (October 17th).

Can 'House' withstand Wilde's departure? After loosing Lisa Edelstein at the end of last season it remains to be seen which of its stars will be leaving next. It's highly likely that this will be the FOX drama's last season, if only because to remain on the air the show would need a complete overhaul in the style of 'ER'.

Maybe we'll get to see Wilde in a guest appearance before 'House' leaves our televisions for good?

Lisa Edelstein Leaves 'House' for 'The Good Wife'

Lisa Edelstein will appear on 'The Good Wife' during this upcoming season for an episode arc.

If I were David Shore I'd be even more annoyed than I was previously.

While I still love 'House' I do understand her reluctance to stay on a show that will (probably) have to come to an end sometime soon. Still, couldn't she have given the fans a little thought and at least committed to a few guest appearances? That also would have made David Shore and co's lives a lot easier.

Also, really...'The Good Wife'? I think it's a fine show, but nowhere near as good as 'House'.

I guess Lisa Edelstein and Juliana Margulies both decided to leave their hospitals for the greener side of the fence...and I suppose for both of them that ended up being 'The Good Wife'.

Are They Leaving?

Which actors are choosing to leave their hit television shows?

Cuddy is leaving 'House'! Lisa Edelstein is officially leaving 'House' and will not return for next season. I am actually incredibly annoyed by this, because one of the only reasons I am still watching 'House' is because of the potential for a House/Cuddy relationship renewal (yes, I'm a "Huddy fan"). Olivia Wilde still has time on her contract, and that gives me a reason to keep watching. She and House are the only really interesting main characters, and now that I think about it, if they became involved romantically that would be a really interesting storyline.

Patrick Dempsey said in an interview with Italian Vanity Fair that he would be leaving 'Grey's Anatomy' at the end of next season. But he has recently stated that he was "taken out of context". I'm not sure how that's possible, but I do know that ABC was probably not pleased by his announcement. If people know that Patrick Dempsey is leaving they know that Ellen Pompeo will probably follow suit...and that will give people little motivation to watch next season. I'm wondering if that means that Patrick Dempsey has been ordered by ABC to muddy the waters about his choice to leave.
