Behind the scenes, House was not easy to create. The writers struggled to find ways to make House a character that fans would accept and root for. House's character always had to be rationally motivated and focused on solving a puzzle. However, even that difficult task was made more so by conflict, cast changes, network interference, and grueling filming. In the beginning, writers disagreed over the development of the show. Writing a show that worked was harder when the network kept weighing in on the supporting characters.

Cast changes proved a particularly tricky part of the show, as some cast left with little notice given to the crew and others were written out with little notice to the cast members. Hugh Laurie carried the show through eight seasons, but not without his own issues keeping up with the show. Although the final product looked effortless, House had many issues behind the scenes. Hugh Laurie made playing House look easy. House certainly did not put in more effort than he needed to, but the same could not be said of Laurie.

Laurie put in grueling hours, and he later described playing House as a nightmare. Laurie explained, "I had some pretty bleak times, dark days when it seemed like there was no escape.

And having a very Presbyterian work ethic, I was determined never to be late, not to miss a single day's filming But there were times when I'd think, 'If I were just to have an accident on the way to the studio and win a couple of days off to recover, how brilliant would that be?

He commented that he did not think he would be physically able to take on another major television role. Laurie was also separated from his family during House 's run, as they stayed in Britain. After Cuddy left the show, she had an opportunity to return for the series finale one season later.

However, Edelstein declined to return for the end of the series. Edelstein later commented that she did not regret missing the finale, and she thought House and Cuddy's story ended where it should. She explained, "I don't think that show was about happy endings. I mean come on. It kind of all worked out Chase and Cameron's romance was one of the defining relationships of House.

The show followed them through multiple arcs in their love story. However, this couple was actually a case of art imitating life. Chase and Cameron began their relationship around the same time Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison got engaged in real life. Unfortunately, Spencer and Morrison's real-life engagement ended less than a year later. Their breakup made filming a bit more awkward, as Chase and Cameron's relationship outlasted their real relationship.

T his was actually answered in one of the past episodes. House had a horrible infection in his leg- so horrible they wanted to amputate the leg but he refused - choosing to die comfortably instead. Well, he lived and has the limp. No comments Permalink Share No comments. I t's called a "leg infarction". U mmmmmm H OUSE is one of my favorite shows. But I thought he initially got hurt on his motorcyle? Is the name of the show "House" or "House MD"? What is the theme music? Where is Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital?

What institution is shown for the exterior shots of the hospital? Is the clinic a walk in or can people make an appointment to see a doctor they have already seen?
