'House' Recap: The Numbers Are Developing, Chase & Cameron Are Serving No Real Purpose

January 31st, 2008 3:24pm EST  Post a comment

"House" is back for just a small dose of curmudgeonly goodness, and this week's episode "It's a Wonderful Lie" was the first with the new team firmly set in place. Kutner, Taub and Thirteen are the official winners of House's ruthless version of "The Bachelor," with Foreman rounding out the team as Unnecessary Former Employee #1.

I kept hoping that the original cast would come back I just keep thinking the new ones will get fired and the originals will come back if they don't I will stop watching I do not like the new replacements at all.

I think the show would be better served if they got rid of the clones and brought back Chase, Cameron, and Foreman. I think Chase is one of the most interesting characters on the series and Jesse Spencer is a fantastic actor. There's real talent there, not just a pretty face! I would much rather see the warped father/son dynamic between House and Chase explored than watch these blatant rip-offs. There's no point in replacing the old cast when the new cast is serving the same purpose!

Let me clarify, since this is my article. ;) I don't want the original three to return because I think it's a step down for Chase and Cameron. They've moved on, and grown up, and I think that's good for them as characters, but not good for them as cast members.
I also think that they are not being done justice by staying on a show that doesn't use them, or really need them. It's no problem with the actors or the characters-- they've chosen to go in a certain direction, and the way it stands right now they're just sitting in purgatory, and it's hurting the show.
So that's what I meant.

You mean it's hurting the actors, right? I no longer care about the show. There was no need for a change. They should get rid of these boring clones and bring back Chase and Cameron. Then start to recycle the writing staff not the cast.

Yes, it IS hurting the actors. They are both young, attractive and talented actors and they were promised as main chars this season, and yet treated like barely noticeable guest stars. It's very tragic..
I want them to just choose one way or the other. Have the three of them, or have the other three; just stick to your guns either way!

Balance would help. You know, they said at first they were bringing in one new character, then two, then three and all the while have been saying the old team would be back too. Instead, only Foreman is back and he's just as useless as anyone else. Other shows can make large casts work. I just wish TPTB would look around and see the outcrying for MORE CHASE and keep their promises. They have to know that many people have endure this season because we thought it would be about like the other "arcs" where things would get back to normal. I do think they're hurting the actors who play Chase and Cameron, but it would hurt them more to reduce their visibility to nothing and then drop them! At least a year ago they both were far more prominent in the show and had that to back them up if they moved on. They've done a total injustice to the quality of their show and to the actors. The only way they can rectify it is to bring Chase and Cameron back like they have promised all along. I get the impression they didn't really think this whole thing through, otherwise they would have stuck to their idea of ONE new character, not three clones.
