It is now official, Cuddy will not be returning on House season 8.
Lisa Edelstein confirmed this news through her statement. This is a bad news especially for Huddy fans who really want to see more of the couple on the final season of House.
Aside from Hugh Laurie, a number of series regulars have been operating under expiring contracts this year, but Omar Epps and Robert Sean Leonard both signed new deals last week.
It’s been assumed Edelstein would follow suit and Cuddy would play a major role on the show’s concluding run, but the actress released a statement this afternoon that reads:
“After much consideration, I am moving onward with a combination of disappointment at leaving behind a character I have loved playing for seven years and excitement of the new opportunities in acting and producing that lie ahead.”
So what can you say about this shocking decision? Will you still watch House?
**UPDATE: Cuddy will have a recurring role in The Good Wife. Check our The Good Wife section to see other details.
