House and Cuddy hooking up?
I've been reviewing some of the past seasons' episodes this past week (mostly S3-S5) and watching the interaction between the characters. For the most part there was a lot of antagonism between Cuddy and House in the first season and little "real" attraction. House mostly seemed annoyed by her and her meddling in his practice and she was much more administrator-rly. Second season flirted with the 'ship more and it finally came to much more of a head in S5, following House's outburst in the lobby (where he announced to the whole room he and Cuddy slept together (which ended up being a hallucination House was having due to a toxic reaction from his Vicodin), House stays for a few months in a mental hospital and when he comes back to work Cuddy has mostly moved on and is in a relationship with Lucas. (House's PI friend.)
End of this season, Cuddy admits her love for House (even though she knows he could be bad for her) has dumped Lucas and as the season ends it seems that a relationship will finally develop between the two, House even shuns his beloved vicodin for her. BTS information from writers and producers has said that this wasn't a dream or another hallucination and that it "really" happened and something they're going to explore in the next season. To see how the two will maintain their respective professions (House being an authority-shirking ass and Cuddy being his boss.) Some fans have said this was a huge Jump The Shark moment for the show as the development makes no sense and even seemed Fanfiction-like.
I, for one, loved this development. Although I think that Cuddy is way too good for House the two actors have a pretty good chemistry as do the two characters and they've been flirting with a relationship between these two for several seasons. I think it'd be interesting to see how these two maintain a relationship between one another and how House deals with his girlfriend being his boss and how Cuddy continues to meddle in House's practice and how House continues to meddle in Cuddy's administrative duties. I think it'll be fascinating to watch. And as much as the writers on this show waiver a lot between "brilliant", "good" and face-planning I think they could pull this off.
Others have said that this would be a better development for a series finale. Which I also disagree with. I hate it when shows do that, it give the audience no chance to watch the relationship they've invested seasons into seeing. I think this could be good and fun. I just hope they don't break them up as, well, that'd likely mean they'd then never get together permanently (unless they do a Ross and Rachel thing) and as Wilson once told House that he (House) figures "if it can't work with Cuddy it can't work with anyone."
