And it will be a hard one to guess.
The network has inside sources on set who say that a prominent cast member is doomed. They also say it won't be the obvious choice, and that there will be no "lead up", it just occurs.
"House" executive producer. Katie Jacobs told E!: "I think our cast will look pretty much the same next season."
Katie spoke with Monsters and Critics back in November (2008) about the series.
Can you talk a little bit about what is happening with Thirteen and her whole downward spiral? How are we going to continue to see that play out?
K. Jacobs: She’s kind of at a spirally place, kind of lost all hope, and feels like since she’s been diagnosed with Huntington’s, and we know that to be a terminal illness, and she watched her mother die from Huntington’s, she’s kind of given up. It’s one of the stories that is in “Last Resort” – the hostage-taker, played by Zeljko Ivanek, decides that every drug that Dr. House is going to try on him to see what’s wrong with him, he’s going to make somebody else take it first.
That person has to take all the drugs to see how they interact together. Thirteen, as part of her spiral, volunteers for this. She thinks there’s no better candidate, since she’s sick anyway, to take all of these drugs.
By the end of the hostage episode, she’s going to come to a very interesting, different place than we’ve seen her before, having gone to the very edge in this episode. So, we are going to deal with it. Then, it continues on, her Huntington’s and how her new point of view or new ideas about how she wants to deal with it – that’s a story line that we will carry on into the New Year.
