Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Allsion Cameron)
On the hospital’s new pecking order:
Morrison: This season I think is going to be really fun. You definitely see the old team relating to the new team and when they call on us. Foreman starts to step up and want something of his own. He takes on cases separate from House and he calls on Chase and Cameron. Of course at first we pretty quickly jump on board to help him out. We try to resist for a second, but the intrigue of that world is too much for us to say no to.
On how the first team with deal with separating from House’s control:
Morrison: They all got to a place where they were willing to walk away…In a sense we were all ready to branch out. But once you have gone there with someone, once you have gone to that place of understanding how you may have to do something unethical to get the job done, you may have to do the outrageous thing to save the life, you kind of can’t go back. Now you have this internal struggle that the three of us have to deal with. We feel like we do want to assert our independence, we do feel like we want to move into these other places, but we keep getting drawn back. It’s so hard to be away from that because once you’ve been there its addictive. You want more, you want the challenge of saving a life every week, and you want the excitement of the outrageous.
On the emerging relationships between the established and new characters:
Morrison: We’re just getting into that now. What we are shooting now is the beginning of that puzzle working. This episode we’re shooting now, there are several scenes where I’m doing DDX’s with Kutner and Taub. It’s interesting now, when I’m used to doing it with Chase and Foreman, suddenly I’m in a completely different dynamic with those two. I think there will be a lot of different pairings of the old team and new team. There will be a mixing and matching of that based on the needs of a patient.
