Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Lisa Cuddy)
On Cuddy’s bid to become pregnant:
Edelstein: The storyline continues this year. There are some struggles this year so far. We're on Episode Ten, but there's a lot of good Cuddy stuff coming up. It's been really interesting so far. I'm excited about it.
On the long-simmering prospect of a House-Cuddy romance:
Edelstein: I wouldn't want to ruin anything, but they're definitely exploring the House/Cuddy relationship further without actually losing the dynamic that exists between them. That kind of edgy dynamic does not go away. David Shore never writes in a straight line. So it's been a lot of fun…I think that if you asked Cuddy, I think for her she deeply admires this human being as much as he's a pain in the ass or a pain in the arse, depending on who you talk to. I think she sees the best in him on that level even though he makes her life very, very difficult at times.
On keeping the show fresh in its fifth season:
Edelstein: Every week that we sit down to do a script reading I'm energized. This is a show with fantastic writers and it's amazing. Having been around for long enough to know the difference, it's a really extraordinary experience when each week you have a great time reading the script and that you're excited to see what happens to your character and to everyone else's and you want to know the end of the medical story. That to me is exciting.
