Back with a bite
IF you've not had a brush with the irreverent Dr Gregory House yet, then
it's high time you get a dose of the right kind of medicine – the
House, M.D kind.
But for those who have been faithfully seeing the good (well, bad,
really) doctor, take heed! Your favourite controversial medic played to
perfection by Hugh Laurie is back!
For the past three seasons, House has shepherded an elite team of young
experts who helped him unravel diagnostic mysteries.
He also spends a lot of time with oncology specialist Dr James wilson
(Robert Sean Leonard), and there's always some kind of tension between
him and Dr Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), the Dean of Medicine and
hospital administrator.
Hugh Laurie (centre) plays Dr Hourse.
In the Season Three finale, the set-in-his-ways House was confronted
with a series of major changes to his team.
Neurologist Dr Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) left Princeton Plainsboro
because he didn't want to turn into House;House randomly fired Dr Robert
Chase (Jesse Spencer), claiming he learned everything he's going to
learn in the past three years, or nothing at all;and immunologist Dr
Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) resigned, knowing House would be
completely unaffected by her decision.
As Season Four opens, House is without a team to contribute to the
perplexing medical cases he undertakes, and Cuddy and Wilson are adamant
that he recruit new fellowship candidates.
After 40 applicants applied for the newly-vacated spots on his team, a
group of five doctors – played by Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, Peter
Jacobson, Anne Dudek and Edi Gathegi – have emerged as finalists vying
for the coveted and hotly contested openings!
House Season Four premieres on AXN tonight at 10pm.
