House Spoiler! There Will Be 5 Newbies, Instead of 4!
July 24, 2007 by Lynn
According to TV Guide, there will be more than the four expected new docs on House. There will be 5 new doclings! Check it out:
They’ve finally staffed up at Princeton-Plainsboro. Fox has officially announced the casting of not four but five newcomers to the fellowship race on the hit drama House. Olivia Wilde (The Black Donnellys, Mischa’s O.C. crush), Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), Peter Jacobson (The Starter Wife), Anne Dudek (Big Day) and Edi Gathegi (Lincoln Heights) are coming on board as candidates for the plum opportunity (assuming you define “plum” as “learning from Dr. Crankypants”).
With the flurry of new faces arriving in the wake of Foreman’s exit, Chase’s firing and Cameron’s resignation, who’s a keeper and who’s a goner? Teases Fox, “Any effects of this ‘housecleaning’ or the changes it may bring to House professionally or personally remain to be seen.”
Here are the photos of the new docs:

I can’t stand Olivia Wilde!!!!!! Never liked her, I hope she won’t stay for too long…As for the others I think they are pretty cool.I love Peter Jacobson and Kal Penn, they are so funny…
Anne Dudek seems very nice, don’t know why but I can see her with Wilson..Edi Gathegi reminds me of Foreman…But what bothers me the most is that if they bring new cast member then how much screen time will Cuddy have, 2 minutes for episode? If so, it sucks>>>:(
Anyway, I don’t think they are gonna stick for too long, maybe for six or seven episodes. The ducklings will be back, that’s for sure…
I LOVE OLIVIA WILDE. SHE’S GORGEOUS!
Gorgeous as a woman yes, she is beautiful but as an actress she has a lot to learn…
“Gorgeous as a woman yes, she is beautiful but as an actress she has a lot to learn…” Really? Maybe you can teach her.
Eli, there is no need to be sarcastic. It’s fine with me that you like her but don’t expect from others to feel the same as you.This is my opinion and if you don’t like it then my dear this is your problem so deal with it…
And if you don’t like HER then, my dear, this is YOUR problem so deal with it…
Well, I’ve never watched a minute of that show. I’ll tune in just for Olivia and like me there’s so many others…
Oh, don’t you say that, you really broke my heart…I think I am gonna cry!!!! Allow me to thank Olivia for making you and others as you said, House’s fan even for a while. But hey, since Olivia(being the talented one) is going to take part in the show, I am sure that the rankings will be higher than ever…
Olivia Wilde on House? YAY!!! Best news EVER in a really long time!
I think she will add a lot to the show. She’s a really gifted actress, so talented! It will be great for her career. I love it that she chooses very different roles! Go go go, Olivia! *-* \o/
“I am sure that the rankings will be higher than ever…” Yeah, me too. Wanna bet? =)
Just wait and see. She’ll be great on this show.
“She’ll be great on this show.” Great in which way? Playing Barbi doll? I will take that bet…:)
I loved the original cast on “House”. Everyone suited the roles they played. One can’t comment on the new people until one sees them perform on the show. Hopefully they have been well cast. I just hope we see the “old gang” now and then.
Great in which way? Playing Barbi doll? I will take that bet…:)
So, since you’re so sure about who she will be playing I presume you’re one of the show’s writer, right?

“you’re one of the show’s writer, right?’ How do you know? Damn you busted me, guilty over here….Look, this chat is really amusing but I am afraid I must leave, we can continue tomorrow if you like…….Ok, for real now, if I offended you cuz it seems to me you are very fond of her, sorry then and I am not being sarcastic….(that doesn’t mean I changed my mind
Okay, sweetie, we’re done (not being sarcastic). It’s just… I’ve enjoyed her performances on everything I’ve seen her do, from The OC to The Black Donnellys. And I’m pretty sure you’ll change your mind. She is a perfectly fine actress, and a very lovely person too. Trust me”
OK….have a good night or day…:)
five… this will be interesting. I liked three. Four would have been o.k but, five. Five is too many, personally.
I think Edi is GORGEOUS! Look at those eyes! I have seen the other actors (the men) before, so it will be hard not to remember them as Kumar and the jerk of an ex-husband from The Starter Wife. I like it when they bring in “newer” actors, helps me to fall into the story more!
Two new girls, two more relationships for House to run through, right after Huddy that is.
I can’t find New Chase anywhere. They couldn’t find anyone as pretty as Jesse eh.
Actually Hugh Laurie is so talented, he could play all the roles. Did you ever watch Fry and Laurie or Jeeves and Wooster or see any of his movies? If so, you would know what I am talking about.
The buzz at the water cooler is that if Anne Dudek remains on House, the ratings will go down. I don’t know anything about her but co-workers are calling her untalented. I would dare to say that the character she plays on House is nauseating. She is the new Chase, right? The tattler.
I thought Anne Dudek was fantastic on the last episode. I think her character is predictable, but so much fun…..
“I don’t know anything about her but co-workers are calling her untalented.” How do you know that?
look i have a feeling after the survivor is over he will fire everyone of them and ask cameron, chase and foreman to come back. scratch that, BEG!!!!
