According to Robert Sean Leonard, who plays Wilson on House, probably not. The show’s creator, David Shore says that season 6 will deal a lot with House’s “recovery” and what happens at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital as result.

Here’s the spoiler from Michael Ausiello:

Question: Will House recover from whatever it is that landed him in the psycho ward? –Catherine

Ausiello: You mean will he stop being crazy? “No,” says Robert Sean Leonard. “It would be like Quincy suddenly getting nice and loving examining dead bodies. There are certain things that are just givens about the show, and one is the general makeup of House’s attitude and personality. He may stop hallucinating but he’d never stop being sarcastic.” Adds series creator David Shore: “It depends on how we define better. That is the question. How sick is he? Does House want to get better? Can he get better? And how much better? And how much will the team be told and how will the dynamic shift with House away? Those are the questions we are going to deal with in the first bunch of episodes, and perhaps even the whole season to a certain extent.” [Source: EW]

Apparently, there will be changes in the Princeton-Plainsboro dynamics caused by House’s time in the hospital. It looks like things will be different after House gets back. Oh, I expect grouchiness about this…

And if you’ve been wondering about the Chase/Cameron wedding, it may not play that heavily into the day-to-day at the hospital at all. Here are some spoilers from Michael Ausiello at EW that explain it all:

Question: Any House scoop, other than the prolongation of Huddy after House leaves the loony bin? Translation: Why should non-Huddy fans tune in to House next season? –Luke

Ausiello: Because the Princeton Plainsboro that House left in the season finale will not be the same one he returns to next fall. And admit it, you’re dying to know how it’ll be different. “How [the hospital] works when he comes back will be different,” teases exec producer Katie Jacobs. “A doctor can’t check into a mental institution and just walk back into his job like nothing happened. We will not start forsaking reality. This [story] will have consequences.”

Question: How much of Cameron and Chase’s home life will we see next season on House? –Diane

Ausiello: Not much, according to Katie Jacobs. “I don’t know that we will show any more of their private lives than we have anyone else’s. The hospital stuff is first and foremost for us and everything we show furthers those story lines. I don’t think lovey-dovey, at-home relations is what people watch our show for.”

Episode 5.24: Both Sides Now

Tonight’s episode of House is going to be amazing. We’ll get to find out what happens to House now that he’s gone through the world’s fastest detox and slept with Cuddy. We’ve been told that thee’s something shocking about to happen and I can’t wait to find out what it is.

Will House be checked into the looney bin? Will House & Cuddy continue their affair? Will Cameron & Chase actually tie the knot? What other shockers could the writers be building us up to…?

I guess we only have a few more hours until we find out. But while we wait, here are all the spoilers we’ve been given for the episode.

Episode 5.24: Both Sides Now
Air Date: May 11, 2009

Here are the spoiler photos for the season 5 finale episode of House. When I look at these photos, I have to wonder what will be the aftermath of the Huddy hookup…but there’s no hint here. But we do get to see that the clinic Patient of the Week (POTW) will be played by Carl Reiner. Reiner is an amazing actor and whatever this situation is about, we have been told it will be revealing for House.

We also see here that the main POTW will be a man with a brain whose two halves operate separately. It’s such an unsual thing that it will be interesting to see how they treat it. I know in the season 3 episode with Dave Matthews, they performed an operation to remove half of his brain in order to help him be better. I wonder if something just as radical will be called for here. It looks like another great episode! But I have to admit that I’m sad that season 5 will be coming to an end….

Cameron (Jennifer Morrison, L) and Chase (Jesse Spencer, R) share an emotional moment in the HOUSE season finale episode “Both Sides Now” airing Monday, May 11 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Episode 5.23: Under My Skin
Air Date: May 4, 2009

Here are some more spoiler clips for Monday’s episode of House. In this first one, it’s clear that House is not doing so well, in fact he looks pretty rough. Watch what happens when Foreman comes to tell him that he needs to come to work to help with a new patient:

This is a very interesting clip. In it, House asks Wilson to sit in on the differentials with him and second guess everything he does because of his lack of sleep. Wilson, of course, needs more information about his friend:

Episode 5.22: House Divided
Air Date: April 27, 2009

In this clip, House has a very creepy conversation with his own hallucination of Amber. Together, they think of several reasons why he would be having visions of her. One of the ones I find the most intriguing is when he says that maybe he subconsciously wants to get Wilson in bed…..

And here, House tries to ignore Amber when he’s talking to the team about the deaf wrestler. It’s cool when she tries to wrtie on the white board, but can’t.

Episode 5.22: House Divided
Air Date: April 27, 2009

Finally! EW spoiler guru, Michael Ausiello has given us a bunch of tidbits of spoilerage for the episode of House we’ll see airing tonight. There’s talk of insomnia, psych wards, a bachelor party and strippers…

Spoiler:
Question: Would you please do a House-only AA? Look, I’ll even get it started: What is this “important decision” that House “struggles” with? House isn’t crazy… so what would cause him, (if anything), to go into a psych ward? –Kate
Ausiello: House-only AA? What a brilliant idea! And just to clarify, I never said House was for sure checking into a cuckoo’s nest. I was merely making an assumption after connecting a few dots. But if it turns out that he is headed to the funny farm, I would imagine an extreme case of insomnia might be behind it. And I do mean extreme: Poor guy hasn’t slept a wink since Kutner died.

Question: I haven’t been able to find any spoilers for tonight’s House. Do you know anything? –Sari
Ausiello: I know the ep focuses on Chase’s bachelor party, but Fox’s promo already gave that away. What the promo didn’t reveal, however, is the identity of the person throwing the little shindig: House himself!

Question: Anything worth sharing on House? –Tim
Ausiello: A major character will suffer a life-threatening medical emergency tonight. Hint: A clue about what triggers it can be found in last week’s 30 Rock. Guesses? Head to the comments!

Question: Is Chase’s bachelor party part of House’s hallucination? –Samantha
Ausiello: No. House also doesn’t imagine ordering Foreman and Thirteen to go to a strip club to pick out the evening’s, ahem, entertainment.

Question: I’m a little shocked to see Wilson at Chase’s bachelor party in this promo. How’d that happen? –Craig
Ausiello: Let’s just say House arranged it so that he had no other choice. [Source: EW]

Episode 5.20: Simple Explanation
Air Date: April 6, 2009

Tonight’s episode of House should be a very cool one. For one thing, Meat Loaf will be the guest star playing a patient for the episode. And apparently, House has to put in some clinic time too. That’s always fun!

In this first clip, we see a mother and a child beauty pageant contestant ask House for a fast diagnosis before an important event. This is so perfect:

I just read this an nearly had a heart attack! According to the spoiler gurus, there will be a death of one of the lead characters on House before the season ends! I am so bewildered about who it can be and upset at the possibilities! First, Here are the spoilers from the various sources.

Kristin at E! Online gives us this:

A main character will die this season.

This is the news I’m now hearing from reliable sources on House, that one of the cast members will be written out before the current season ends.

And trust me, it will shock the pants off of you. (Assuming you are wearing pants.)

So who will it be?

Obviously, we can’t come right out and report who will die because that would spoil a major plotpoint that will serve as the climax of the season. And honestly, it is far too good to spoil!

However, I can tell you:

1. It’s not the most likely candidate–not by a longshot.
2. It’s not someone who has been rumored to be leaving.
3. It is someone who will shock you.
4. How it happens will take you completely by surprise.
5. There is no lead up to this death, it just…happens.

As House boss Katie Jacobs told us recently: “I think our cast will look pretty much the same next season.” The emphasis there is on pretty much, and it’s my understanding that it will be just one cast member to leave. Everyone else will be back in the fall. [Source: E! Online]

In tonight’s episode of House, one of the guest stars I’m most looking forward to seeing is the beautiful Russian blue cat. I have two close friends, each with a cat that looks identical to this one, green eyes and all. Both were thrilled when I told them that “their cat” was going to be a guest star on House this week. LOL!

But on a more serious note, those of us who like to look over all the spoilers ahead of watching the episode can check everything out in this post. And I’ve linked to all the photos, video clips and background information on the real cat the episode was based on. Now all we have to do is wait until air time…

While House dismisses Morgan as a nut job, he is intrigued by her theory on the kiss-of-death cat, and sets out to disprove it. When Morgan falls seriously ill, he and the team are forced to get to the bottom of both mysteries. [Source: FOX]

House dismisses her as a nut job, but is intrigued with the claim about the cat and sets out to disprove Morgan’s theory.
