House spoiler making the rounds

[tzikeh]

My reaction under the cut.



It's pretty well confirmed that one of the main cast dies before the end of this season. More and more, the word is that it's a suicide. We're told it's "not who you'd expect," and "you'll never see it coming," and "the actor/actress did not want to leave; it was a creative decision."

The "final two", as it were, in spoilertown, are Kutner or Wilson.

We know from interviews with Hugh Laurie that his character undergoes traumatic, life-changing events in the final episodes of the series, on the level of complete mental/emotional breakdown. And we know that he once again has a vision of Amber.

I love Kutner. I think he's a terrific, if underused, character. I'd be sad to see him go. But if Wilson offs himself, that TiVo season pass will be gone in a New York minute, and my personal canon stops at the end of last week's episode.

Dude, my mom watches religiously and loves House, but she named one her cats after Wilson. She already lost Gil Grissom this year. She loses another favorite character and I don't look forward to the phone calls I'm going to get.

Did Gil Grissom die?

Nah, he left the show. But if you talk to her about it, it sounds a lot like he died.

The writers turned him into a pod person, so he may as well have. :P
