Re: News
Un article complet de 4 pages avec spoilers saisons 4 et 5 c'est pour ca que je le poste ici
''Stupid, stupid, stupid!'' Hugh Laurie chants over and over, his eyes closed. The actors around him try to give the star as much space as they can in this tightly staged elevator scene. Is he throwing a tantrum? Engaging in a moment of self-castigation? Hardly — he's practicing. The line he's supposed to deliver to his team of underlings, Kutner (Kal Penn), Thirteen (Olivia Wilde), and Taub (Peter Jacobson), is this: ''Tell her that the thing about emotional reactions is that they're irrational — or stupid.'' But for some reason, ''stupid'' isn't coming out American enough to the British star. ''It just doesn't sound right,'' he says. The camera rolls, the director calls ''Action!'' Again, to the untrained ear, Laurie's ''stupid'' sounds about as Yankee as baseball. ''Nope, one more time. Sorry.'' Surely, eight episodes into House's fifth season, the actor who's won two Golden Globes playing Dr. Caustic can relax about two tiny syllables? ''The accent is the most frustrating thing for me,'' Laurie says later. ''Almost everything else you do in life gets easier the more you do it. This one doesn't.''
Laurie's struggle is hardly surprising when you consider that in season 5 — the point at which most megahit series are coasting — building Houses isn't getting easier for anybody. The thing about most growing pains is that they accrue over time — a sophomore slump, say, or an actor demanding a third-season salary hike. Not in this House. Last season, Fox's highest-rated scripted series (which returns Sept. 16 at 8 p.m.) faced a confluence of obstacles. First, producers concocted a controversial story line — in which several key doctors left, and 40 fellowship candidates competed in a Survivor-like battle for a spot on House's team — that ticked off many loyal fans. Then came the three-month writers' strike, leaving producers with a truncated season and no real chance to adjust their creative course. ''I think there were people who felt betrayed,'' acknowledges exec producer Katie Jacobs of fan reaction to last season's staff shake-ups. ''But I think it's also fantastic that they would become so attached to our show that they would feel betrayed.'' Laurie, however, has a different reaction to the fans' discontent. ''What would that be like if you said that to a person? If you said that to your partner, 'You know, I used to love you when you...''' he trails off. ''I think your partner would think, 'Well, that kind of means you don't love me, then. It's not much consolation saying you used to love me when. If you don't love me now, you don't love me.'''
While the romance isn't over — the medical hit was still the No. 2 drama on television last season, averaging over 17 million viewers weekly — House now finds itself in the bizarre position of launching its fifth season with something to prove. How are Jacobs and creator David Shore angling to reinvigorate TV's most compelling medical drama? By creating a stark series of befores and afters. Before, House and best friend Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) had a fractious, codependent relationship. After — thanks to a fiery bus crash in the season finale that killed Wilson's girlfriend — the bromance is over. Before, costars (and fan favorites) Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer were engaged in real life, while their characters dated casually on the show. After: The real-life relationship has fizzled, but the lovers will now take it to the next level on screen. Before, House and hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) carried on a junior high school flirtation. This season, they'll finally be acting on the goose bumps. And in a move that may have spin-off implications, House stops using his staff to spy on the patients, and hires a private investigator who'll also spy on...the staff! ''In series TV you've got to keep it fresh and interesting, while minding what's unique about the show,'' says Jacobs. ''I really hope we've done it. I feel we have.''
The trouble actually began with an ending. In the season 3 finale, House's original team of lackeys — Foreman (Omar Epps), Cameron (Morrison), and Chase (Spencer) — were all fired or quit, leaving the cranky boss to solve his own medical mysteries. ''Everybody leaving House seemed like a natural result,'' says Shore. ''He's not the type of guy you're going to work for in a contented relationship for five, six, seven years.'' The producers then hit upon the particularly House-ian way of finding a new team, in which House, to paraphrase Laurie, hires three doctors by firing 37 of them. While he toyed with a cattle call of candidates on a months-long audition spanning eight episodes, his original team was exiled to the farthest corners of the hospital. Foreman eventually found a role middle-managing the three new docs, but Cameron and Chase were relegated to a few lines per show — and were almost never together. ''We were just trying to excite ourselves,'' explains Jacobs of the experiment, but ''at the same time maybe we should have been smarter about the effects it would have.'' The effect was a message-board backlash, with many fans complaining that the telegenic duo had virtually disappeared.
Complicating the situation for Morrison and Spencer were rumors that their characters were sidelined to give the actors time to adjust after their real-life breakup in August 2007, a few weeks before House’s season 4 premiere. ''[Jesse and I] were still together when they made the decision'' to hire a new team, refutes Morrison. The rumors might never have gained traction but for the writers' strike: Given the forced three month break, several plotlines — including episodes that would have featured Cameron and Chase's budding onscreen romance — had to be dropped. ''There was a whole stretch of story lines that had to shift and then got lost,'' says Morrison. ''We went from thinking we were going to have eight more episodes to explore how Cameron's world was going, how Chase's world was going, how Foreman was feeling about [the new team].... All of a sudden, we needed a big finale.''
Despite the problems, it's hard to blame House's producers for trying to pump new blood into the series. The simple fact is that by season 5 — rounding the corner on 100 episodes — there isn't much most shows haven't already done. Put someone in danger of losing their freedom and/or career? House did it in season 3. Bring back a mysterious ex-lover? That's how season 1 ended. Shoot the lead character? Season 2. They've hit all the go-to tropes—even putting one character on a stripper pole. (Edelstein, who performed a striptease in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform in one of House's hallucinations from last season's finale, quips, ''My only disappointment is that they cut out some of my best moves.'') And while some on staff acknowledge that maintaining a high level of creativity can be a strain — ''One of the challenges we face is how to keep ourselves excited about venturing into another episode of House,'' says Jacobs — others have reached an almost Zen-like level of contentment. ''I don't necessarily get excited or not excited about plotlines,'' says Leonard, sitting in the show's cafeteria set. ''I know actors who live to work, and I've never been one of those... The less I'm in each show, the better for me, because actors get paid per show. So whether you're in two scenes or all of them, you get paid for that show. I'd be crazy to want to be in scenes.''
The man behind House, however, doesn't have that choice. While there may be nine featured actors on the drama, as Shore says, ''it is not an ensemble show.'' With the medical jargon, the cane, and that accent, Laurie's role is by far the most difficult — not that he'll ever let you hear him complain. The 49-year-old actor is something of a master at paving over unpleasantness. As he enters L.A.'s Chateau Marmont hotel for breakfast, he apologizes profusely for being 10 minutes late — even though that's early in HST (Hollywood Standard Time). He has an excuse, one he's determined to be terribly English about, no fuss, please: He and his wife, Jo, were robbed the night before. ''We were in bed [when it happened]. I came down this morning and I said, 'Where's the laptop?' And then we realized...''
Laurie is so freakishly professional that he's willing to entertain a chat about House the morning after a stranger entered his home while he and his wife slept. (Laurie's wife and children live in London but travel to the States for frequent visits.) When it comes to his career, this dedication is paying off: In addition to the two Golden Globes, he recently picked up a third lead-actor Emmy nomination. Personally, though, House has taken its toll. ''I was obsessive about every aspect of [the show],'' he says of the early days on the drama. ''My performance in it, everyone else's performance, and the camera angles, how it was cut... I was a pain in the ass. I am a pain in the ass.''
And sometimes, he's a pain in the ass who really needs a break. Last October, Laurie left unexpectedly for London to deal with personal issues, requiring producers to rearrange the production schedule briefly. ''I should be allowed to have certain elements of my life that are not in public view,'' says Laurie in a rare moment of testiness when asked about the trip. ''I think in five years for someone to go home for two days is not a huge event.'' Today Laurie credits costar Leonard for helping him find a better life balance; talking to Leonard was therapeutic, Laurie says, ''because he's a very sane, pragmatic fellow. I [also] started seeing a shrink because I became so close to being overwhelmed by the whole thing.'' Now the star says he's in a far healthier place, even though he's playing one of the most psychologically damaged characters on network TV. ''However monstrous he may be, it doesn't stop me from liking him. I think, by and large, our love for people is not dictated by virtue. We don't only love virtuous people — we don't even love virtuous people, a lot of the time. Virtuous people can be really annoying.''
If Dr. House is annoying — and everyone in his orbit would say so — it's hardly from a surfeit of virtue. Season 5 leaps off an idea established in the previous season's finale that perhaps House is so toxic, so selfish, he's actually a danger to others. The daring two-parter had viewers winding through a labyrinth of hallucinations, dreams, and false memories, before finally revealing that House had gotten sloshed at a bar and called buddy Wilson to pick him up, only to be met by Wilson's girlfriend (and House's former job applicant), Amber (Anne Dudek), who subsequently died from her injuries in the bus crash. Because you can't kill a guy's girlfriend without bruising some feelings, the accident establishes this season's central conflict. (Warning: spoilers galore!) Picking up two months later, Wilson returns to the hospital and announces that he's resigning, having decided to put some distance between him and his ex–best pal — though he'll eventually return to help House with a personal crisis. Says Shore, ''We haven't terminated Robert Sean Leonard's contract.''
Fact is, House isn't tearing up anybody's contract this season — Thirteen (Wilde) stays on, despite having learned in the season finale that she has Huntington's disease, and with it, a 10-year life expectancy. Cameron and Chase remain romantically entangled (er...awkward?), and will have more scenes and an entire episode that focuses primarily on them. And the long-simmering flirtation between House and Cuddy pays off in episode 6 when the duo finally lock lips. The trick will be for writers to steer clear of the Moonlighting curse — otherwise known as okay-they-did-it-now-what? syndrome. Shore says caution is the word of the day: ''Sexual tension is fantastic, and we enjoy it — but, you know, so many shows have been killed by acting on it.''
And since they're ratcheting up the stakes on everything this season, why not explore whether House can support a spin-off? Actor Michael Weston (Law & Order: SVU) joins as private investigator Lucas Douglas, a (slightly) nicer version of House who will poke into patients' backgrounds and help the docs with their diagnoses. (Cases this season include recipients of the same organ-donor tissue who keep dropping dead, and an overworked feminist activist who begins hallucinating ants all over her body.) But House being House, he can't help but use Lucas for more colorful purposes — like digging up dirt on his own staff. ''It strikes him as an amusing way of running his department, to hire a private investigator,'' says Laurie. ''He also is desperately curious to know how Wilson is faring without him.'' Should Weston's character click with fans, there's talk of giving him his own show. ''I don't want to do just another medical show,'' Shore admits. ''What does excite me in terms of writing is the choices people make and the nature of right and wrong...and a private investigator can approach that question much more readily than a doctor can.''
Whether or not House M.D. begets House's P.I., the good doctor isn't going anywhere: Fox has Laurie locked down through the 2010–11 season. The actor declines to speculate on whether he'd want to continue beyond that, but he does have some thoughts on how he'd like Dr. House to leave the building. ''Go with a bang,'' he decides. ''We should do something so egregiously offensive that there are questions raised on the floor of the Senate, and David Shore is indicted, and I'm repatriated and not allowed to come back into the country. It should be something magnificent. We should just flame out.'' As if House would have it any other way.

The simple fact is that by season 5 — rounding the corner on 100 episodes — there isn't much most shows haven't already done. Put someone in danger of losing their freedom and/or career? House did it in season 3. Bring back a mysterious ex-lover? That's how season 1 ended. Shoot the lead character? Season 2. They've hit all the go-to tropes—even putting one character on a stripper pole. (Edelstein, who performed a striptease in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform in one of House's hallucinations from last season's finale, quips, ''My only disappointment is that they cut out some of my best moves.'') And while some on staff acknowledge that maintaining a high level of creativity can be a strain — ''One of the challenges we face is how to keep ourselves excited about venturing into another episode of House,'' says Jacobs — others have reached an almost Zen-like level of contentment. ''I don't necessarily get excited or not excited about plotlines,'' says Leonard, sitting in the show's cafeteria set. ''I know actors who live to work, and I've never been one of those... The less I'm in each show, the better for me, because actors get paid per show. So whether you're in two scenes or all of them, you get paid for that show. I'd be crazy to want to be in scenes.''
The man behind House, however, doesn't have that choice. While there may be nine featured actors on the drama, as Shore says, ''it is not an ensemble show.'' With the medical jargon, the cane, and that accent, Laurie's role is by far the most difficult — not that he'll ever let you hear him complain. The 49-year-old actor is something of a master at paving over unpleasantness. As he enters L.A.'s Chateau Marmont hotel for breakfast, he apologizes profusely for being 10 minutes late — even though that's early in HST (Hollywood Standard Time). He has an excuse, one he's determined to be terribly English about, no fuss, please: He and his wife, Jo, were robbed the night before. ''We were in bed [when it happened]. I came down this morning and I said, 'Where's the laptop?' And then we realized...''
Laurie is so freakishly professional that he's willing to entertain a chat about House the morning after a stranger entered his home while he and his wife slept. (Laurie's wife and children live in London but travel to the States for frequent visits.) When it comes to his career, this dedication is paying off: In addition to the two Golden Globes, he recently picked up a third lead-actor Emmy nomination. Personally, though, House has taken its toll. ''I was obsessive about every aspect of [the show],'' he says of the early days on the drama. ''My performance in it, everyone else's performance, and the camera angles, how it was cut... I was a pain in the ass. I am a pain in the ass.''
And sometimes, he's a pain in the ass who really needs a break. Last October, Laurie left unexpectedly for London to deal with personal issues, requiring producers to rearrange the production schedule briefly. ''I should be allowed to have certain elements of my life that are not in public view,'' says Laurie in a rare moment of testiness when asked about the trip. ''I think in five years for someone to go home for two days is not a huge event.'' Today Laurie credits costar Leonard for helping him find a better life balance; talking to Leonard was therapeutic, Laurie says, ''because he's a very sane, pragmatic fellow. I [also] started seeing a shrink because I became so close to being overwhelmed by the whole thing.'' Now the star says he's in a far healthier place, even though he's playing one of the most psychologically damaged characters on network TV. ''However monstrous he may be, it doesn't stop me from liking him. I think, by and large, our love for people is not dictated by virtue. We don't only love virtuous people — we don't even love virtuous people, a lot of the time. Virtuous people can be really annoying.''
If Dr. House is annoying — and everyone in his orbit would say so — it's hardly from a surfeit of virtue. Season 5 leaps off an idea established in the previous season's finale that perhaps House is so toxic, so selfish, he's actually a danger to others. The daring two-parter had viewers winding through a labyrinth of hallucinations, dreams, and false memories, before finally revealing that House had gotten sloshed at a bar and called buddy Wilson to pick him up, only to be met by Wilson's girlfriend (and House's former job applicant), Amber (Anne Dudek), who subsequently died from her injuries in the bus crash. Because you can't kill a guy's girlfriend without bruising some feelings, the accident establishes this season's central conflict. (Warning: spoilers galore!) Picking up two months later, Wilson returns to the hospital and announces that he's resigning, having decided to put some distance between him and his ex–best pal — though he'll eventually return to help House with a personal crisis. Says Shore, ''We haven't terminated Robert Sean Leonard's contract.''
Fact is, House isn't tearing up anybody's contract this season — Thirteen (Wilde) stays on, despite having learned in the season finale that she has Huntington's disease, and with it, a 10-year life expectancy. Cameron and Chase remain romantically entangled (er...awkward?), and will have more scenes and an entire episode that focuses primarily on them. And the long-simmering flirtation between House and Cuddy pays off in episode 6 when the duo finally lock lips. The trick will be for writers to steer clear of the Moonlighting curse — otherwise known as okay-they-did-it-now-what? syndrome. Shore says caution is the word of the day: ''Sexual tension is fantastic, and we enjoy it — but, you know, so many shows have been killed by acting on it.''
And since they're ratcheting up the stakes on everything this season, why not explore whether House can support a spin-off? Actor Michael Weston (Law & Order: SVU) joins as private investigator Lucas Douglas, a (slightly) nicer version of House who will poke into patients' backgrounds and help the docs with their diagnoses. (Cases this season include recipients of the same organ-donor tissue who keep dropping dead, and an overworked feminist activist who begins hallucinating ants all over her body.) But House being House, he can't help but use Lucas for more colorful purposes — like digging up dirt on his own staff. ''It strikes him as an amusing way of running his department, to hire a private investigator,'' says Laurie. ''He also is desperately curious to know how Wilson is faring without him.'' Should Weston's character click with fans, there's talk of giving him his own show. ''I don't want to do just another medical show,'' Shore admits. ''What does excite me in terms of writing is the choices people make and the nature of right and wrong...and a private investigator can approach that question much more readily than a doctor can.''
Whether or not House M.D. begets House's P.I., the good doctor isn't going anywhere: Fox has Laurie locked down through the 2010–11 season. The actor declines to speculate on whether he'd want to continue beyond that, but he does have some thoughts on how he'd like Dr. House to leave the building. ''Go with a bang,'' he decides. ''We should do something so egregiously offensive that there are questions raised on the floor of the Senate, and David Shore is indicted, and I'm repatriated and not allowed to come back into the country. It should be something magnificent. We should just flame out.'' As if House would have it any other way.
