Q. "What is the deal with the House promo for next week's episode? Why is it so dramatic? What's going to happen next week?"

A. "Something very, very bad. And that's not a knock against special guest star Meat Loaf. I swear!"

Q. "Regarding the bachelor party coming up on House, there's a rumor out there that in order to prevent deportation, Chase gets married to Wilson."

A. "False."

Q. "Have you uncovered any details about Anne Dudek's return to House?"

A. "I have, and this is the only one I'm prepared to divulge: House is the only one who sees her, and the vision does not take place while he's making love to Cuddy."

"Unfortunately, Meat Loaf couldn't shed any light on what happens in the episode outside of his storyline except to say that "the whole storyline is about redemption and my character just ties into that really well." As for his character, he plays a man dying of heart failure whose wife collapses from respiratory failure, leaving the team to solve a double medical mystery."

Q. "I know you're not going to reveal who is going to die.... But I need to know one thing, was it something House said?"

A. "I've even got to be careful how I answer that because that is possibly true. One of the pieces of self-examination that House has to go through is the part that he played in this...event. Let me put it that way. I can go no further. But you're right, there is something in that. I can tell you that it's quite something. The last six shows are very, very ambitious, and we are going out on a limb here. House has problems of his own. And they're big problems."

...in the season finale of Fox's House.... our man House (Hugh Laurie) stands near the front entrance of Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital and declares (loudly) to everyone in earshot that he's slept with Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein)!

Not really a spoiler, but, it's on my spoiler site, so it's going here....

FOX has put up an obituary/memorial on their site for Kutner, which includes the following:

"Dr. Kutner was born in Freemont, California. Tragedy marred his early life as he lost his parents, Karamchand and Niki Baidwan, who were shot during an armed robbery. After a couple of years in foster care, Julia and Richard Kutner adopted Lawrence....

"Kutner's girlfriend Nicole Brewster remembered that Lawrence, being adopted and of Indian ancestry, always felt like an outsider. But she said he didn't resent it - instead, he felt the experience gained him added insight and perspective....

"During his free time, Lawrence played water polo and swam competitively. He enjoyed science fiction and was a frequent participant in the Clarion Science Fiction Workshops."

Q. "Will House and Cuddy kiss again before the end of the season"

A. "If you, like many, suspect that Kutner's tragic death will in and of itself serve as the catalyst for more Huddy canoodling, think again. As exec producer Katie Jacobs points out, 'After such a horrible event, certain people would want to want to be closer and want to sort of couple up. But with House, it sends him in the opposite direction' — namely, toward another life-changing season finale."

Q: "A lot of Huddy fans fear that the House-Cuddy sex might not happen this season after all. Could you please reassure us?"

A: "I'll do you one better. For the first time, I will run the actual transcript of the interview we did with David Shore and Katie Jacobs at House's 100th episode party back on Jan. 21. If this doesn't calm your nerves about the impending Huddy nookie-nookie, nothing will...

EW: What's the latest on House and Cuddy having sex?
Katie: We have definitely figured how the act will play out. And true to vibe of the show and the characters and thanks to David Shore's wonderfully creative twists and turns, it won't be what you expect. We have to be careful about making moves like that. We do not want to disappoint fans and just do something out of left field."
David: Yes we have figured out the details surrounding Huddy having sex. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for fans of Huddy hoping for a hookup. It definitely won't be what people expect. We have to do things our way, the House way. We wouldn't want to have the characters do anything out of character.
EW: Just to be clear, the sex will happen by the end of the season?
David: Yes.
Katie: Yes. Now that we've given you that scoop, you have to leave us alone on everything else!

Q: "How long 'til House starts banging his hallucination?"

A: "Sit down, relax, and flash back to Jan. 26. It was on that day that I first broke news of the forthcoming plot involving Anne Dudek's dead doc. It was also on that day that exec producer David Shore went on the record as saying, "It would never be a dead ghost sex love triangle thing like on [Grey's]." Fellow e.p. Katie Jacobs added: "I think that would make a large [number] of people switch off their TVs. I think if we tried that, heads would roll." And that concludes our trip down memory lane."

Is House going to the loony bin?

"And the answer is... I honestly don't know, but it sure looks like it. Let's review the evidence:

• "House is currently seeing dead people (in this case, Wilson's cutthroat bitch of an ex, Amber).
  
• "The logline for the May 4 episode says, 'House is willing to do the unthinkable to make his visions stop.'
  
• "Last week, the show set up shop at New Jersey's abandoned Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital to shoot scenes for next season.
  
• "I'm told something happens in the finale that is so shocking cast and crew were forced to sign confidentiality agreements."
