Lisa Edelstein on House-Cuddy Kiss: 'It Was a Big Moment'

Sep 21, 2008, 02:19 PM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: House

Brace yourselves, Huddy fans.

Not only did Lisa Edelstein confirm my recent scoop about House and Cuddy's inaugural smooch in this season's sixth episode of House at last night's EW pre-Emmy party (FYI: I misspoke in the below video and said it was episode 7, but, in my defense, I had just downed my third glass of chardonnay), but she also spilled some exclusive details about what happens next (hint: there's no canoodling!).

In related news, the more I interview Edelstein, the more I adore her in ways that are both a little unprofessional and slightly stalkerish. Click on the play button below and I think you'll see why. And for more of my interviews from last night's EW soiree -- including one-on-ones with Kate Walsh, Emily de Ravin and more -- head over to our continually-updated 2008 Emmy hub.

cristina Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 09:20 AM EST

well, I should say... congratulations, huddy's fans! it seems that the pairing of the show is house-cuddy. however, i still and i will always support house and cameron, because(maybe, i'm crazy)i think cam is the right one for him and i don't know why shore has lost that strange feeling between them. i believe that hameron is an unconventional pairing and in my opinion, more interesting and sweeter! on the huddy kiss, sorry, but i prefer so much the hameron one to this!
however, congratulations to everyone huddy fans! your dreams have become true,and i am sincerely happy for you!

EU AMO O HOUSE, POR ISSO ESTOU AQUI ATÉ TARDE TENTANDO ADIANTAR OS CAPÍTULOS QUE AINDA NÃO PASSARAM AQUI NO BRASIL.

Luciana Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM EST

House, é muito bom, eta cara charmoso, intrigante...gosto muito dele..

Alisa Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 02:48 PM EST

I didn't see the kiss but from this weeks episode with the hooker dead woman I felt so horrible for Cutty. House is such a sleeze. Lisa Edelstein maybe stright but this lesbian would date her anytime.

emma Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

epitelous!! auth th stigmh thn perimename polla episodes prin.. polu suginhsh...!!

Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 09:30 AM EST

hmmm i love House, like woah. but i liked cameron and house together better, i think it was more innocent. cuddy is too good for house, i mean hes great dont get me wrong but she has a more profession outlook on life. hes just a dick doctor that couldnt careless. its hot though lol

BubbaSay Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 10:48 PM EST

I love this new dynamic. And I love the fact that House and Wilson are friends again. I was afraid the writers were going to make us wait until the season finale for them to become friends again.

I like the new cast and team, although my favorite is still the original team. But I guess, they had to propel the show forward. I don't know who is saying the show is bad - it gets critical raves and all my friends are gigantic fans (ok, so that's not a proper "sample" ;>)

Mzars Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 10:40 PM EST

I love the idea of House and Cuddy getting together, even if only for a short fling. They really click. Chase and Cameron, not really. Chase since he left House's team seems like a better person. Before he was an ass-kisser, stole pigeon, and just a very flawed character. I like him better now, although I think Cameron can do better. I'd love to see her hook up with a nice guy like Wilson, but that will never happen....

Pete Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 10:28 PM EST

I agree Cameron and House - not a good match. Although I think someone like Cameron would be good for House. But, yes - I've been waiting for Cuddy and House to get together for a long time too. The sexual tension was always there, just waiting to happen. But, you know those House writers, they won't let this be permanent... ;>)

Isabella Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:14 PM EST

Ahh, that episode was amazing. THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE. I can't stop watching the kiss xD
Hah, I love the new season, and the new characters. And I WANT Cuddy and House together. Cameron and House was just...wrong to me. She works better with Chase..
Plus, you could always tell there was tension and chemistry between Cuddy and House. I've been waiting 5 seasons for it. Sadly, though, I doubt it will go far, because that would be out of character for House.
Still though, wow <3

Gabs Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 09:34 AM EST

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Ricey. It's amusing to see all the 'I hate so and so' or 'I can never see X and X getting together.' Personally, I love the new season and the new characters.

I'm also a Huddy fan, but just because I want them together doesn't mean I'll bash any other pairings. I always find it distasteful when people do that, but sadly, you see it all the time.

House M.D. is <333 and all the people who say it's not good anymore, though everyone has their own opinion certainly, should just stop watching if it's so "bad".

But I know I'll always love House no matter what. (:

AHHHH, I'm so excited for tonight's episode!

Ricey Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 12:01 AM EST

I get a kick of out all the people who complain about the show not being "good". Honestly, if you dislike it so much, stop watching. Lord knows there are more of us who adore the new seasons (and new characters), and the all of the new fans of the show outnumber all of you anyway. No great loss.

This Tuesday's episode is going to be amazing <3!

D Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 01:40 AM EST

Hooray for Huddy! They built up the tension verrry nicely for these two. House/Cameron made me want to slit my wrists and puke gallons.

100% Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 02:24 AM EST

Ok, seriously, I much prefer this over Cameron/House. That just made me vomit a little in my mouth - not nice. I haven't really watched house in AGES - over here it's on the same time as Criminal Minds - but I saw most of last season and I think they made a mistake by trying to reinvent it with new characters. That said I like the idea of the kiss but not the romance. It would wreck the show. Once you kill the tension then you're like "well....now lets move into the anti climax". On the other hand it could also add a lot of tension - hopefully this happens. I live for drama.

Jade Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 03:37 PM EST

*Huddy* is one of the worst possible pairings.

Jade Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 03:35 PM EST

First of all, House the show just keeps on getting worse and worse. It's disappointing actually, and I seriously don't know why they had to ruin such an amazing show (by adding new boring, unlikeable, and awfully annoying characters in season four).

Secondly, Cuddy is potentially one of the worst possible pairings on this show. But from what I can tell, it looks to be a pity/comfort kiss. Let's hope it's nothing more and leave it at that.

Robin Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 10:17 PM EST

House and Cuddy have the most incredible chemistry of any two characters on television. I have been waiting for this ever since the pilot. Thank you, David Shore!

emily Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 05:50 PM EST

agree! i don't like tons of romance on house. if they were going to do anything, maybe just a bit of house/cameron romance? =]

Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 03:20 PM EST

Oh, God, I can't believe they're going with Huddy. Just... NO. Let's hope it won't make the show a romantic drama between those two...

Naina Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 06:58 PM EST

YES!!!...House and Cuddy all the way...obviously the cam and house thing didnt work out cos duh! pretty obvious...it wasnt meant to be...Huddy on the other hand...my god bursting with chemistry >.<...YAY!!! so excited!!...

emily Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 06:58 PM EST

house/cameron, all the way. Huddy makes me cry =[

addict Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 02:14 AM EST

Oh god my hearrtt!!! It was beating so fast, when I noticed that they will kiss!! <3 amazing

Jan Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 04:26 PM EST

Let's just get it over with already. House kissed Cameron, now he's going to kiss Cuddy. Neither of these relationships is going to last.

Vanessa Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 11:31 PM EST

Yay, I absolutely love House and Cuddy (Huddy) scenes...and I'm looking forward to anything that will make their relationship grow and become more complex. ^_^ <3

Joan (Future MD) Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:41 PM EST

Honestly, to me, the 'big' kiss is a big deal because when I saw my very first House episode (the Pilot)the first thing I though was, about House/Cuddy anyway,...they wanna jump each other. So yeah... I don't much care if they develop a relationship (although it would be semi-awesome if they do), I just wanna be proven right :P

heather Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:32 PM EST

Anybody know why Robert left the show? I miss him however, the p.i. makes for an interesting friend.

Alexis Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 10:30 AM EST

I'm so excited!! finally after all this years they are gonna kiss!! LE is just great!!

Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 12:58 AM EST

It would appear that the only thing LE was holding out for was a chance to kiss Hugh. I mean she's just set aside about how badly they've written her character around House where she's just basically a piece of a$$ for him to insult day in and day out. Yeah that's what relationships are made of. Like others, I could care less about the Huddy hookup and want it to be over already.

Killergawp Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 07:21 PM EST

I still enjoy House, however its the character of "House" that I like the most of all - he is always interesting and challenging to watch.
onestly I could care a less about House kissing Cuddy, they have no chemistry, I have no interest in them getting together sexually. If House should be with anyone its Cameron, he is the most interesting when he is with her.
I'm quite upset with the way the writers are treating Chase and Cameron. I find Taub and 13 sort of interesting, but they aren't blowing me away. I know these new characters were brought in to revive House, but its at the expense of other "staple" characters, its just insulting to the hard core fans, who spent 3 years investing in them.

JT Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 02:50 AM EST

Wow, lowest ratings, eh? I agree, I don't like Taub or 13, but I really like Kutner. He's awesome.

As for House and Cuddy, it was going to happen eventually...

emily Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 10:18 PM EST

i love house. i love cuddy. i HATE the idea of house & cuddy. they have no chemistry, and i am definitely fast forwarding through the episode where they kiss...that's just disgusting.

Jmenosky2@yahoo.com Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 10:15 PM EST

Oh my God.....For the love of all ratings.....Please get rid of 13,Taub and Kutner. The Ratings have fallen and the new people suck ass. Also i am soooo glad that Hugh Laurie has already signed on for a sixth and seventh season.

Sandy Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 01:48 PM EST

Just noticed that House ratings were lowest since 05. Messing with the premier ensemble cast, IMHO, seems to have hurt. This year's premier w/o Wilson completely focused the attention on the medical process, which is such a shame. And although I agree that making Cuddy and House an item might not work in the long run, the sexual tension and jealously of other interests should always remain. As for Cuddy, who needs to write lines for her. Just put a camera on her face and let her face write the line. She is great.

Dianna Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 10:55 AM EST

House is a great show and Hugh Laurie is the best!! I love that he is open and says whatever he wants!! We need shows like that. Not shows that say everything is perfect, CAUSE THAT ISN'T HOW LIFE IS!!

i love this Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 07:25 AM EST

ok, if House and Cuddy get together it would be awsome! Plus they did acually have a one night stand before the show started, back when House still had an unhurt leg, and even before he meet Stacey, so thats like more then 12 years! They should get together

House Fan Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 10:50 PM EST

Have I ever mentioned the fact that I love how people can log in under other people's names on this site? No? That would be because it is stupid. I guess some people are enjoying it, though.

GregHouseRocks Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 09:33 PM EST

FINALLY!!! I have waited SO long for this!!!

Hilson Fan Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 09:18 PM EST

Noooooooooo! I want House and Wilson to get together, not House and Cuddy! I mean, House doesn't show Cuddy any respect; it wouldn't be a healthy relationship in the least. >.o Wilson's the only one House really cares deeply about!

Marissa Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 04:37 PM EST

Yay! Finally, a House-Cuddy moment!
I'm so looking forward to it! :]

House Fan Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 03:59 PM EST

Yea I figured you were immature like that; please like previously stated, GET A LIFE.

Sandra Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST

House fan, your a loser.

Essie Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 11:43 AM EST

Yaaaayy!!!!! Im so glad! A House - Cuddy kiss!!

Switiey Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 01:27 AM EST

OMGG!!! there is gonna be a house/cuddy kiss?!?!?!?! I cant believe it! FINALY!

Sandra Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 02:54 PM EST

Sorry, House Fan, I thought you were also the anynomous poster on Sept. 21st 3:43 PM, because it was right after your entry - in this case I apolpgize to you!
I meant the writer of that post, quite a coward obviously as hard as that may sound. Attacking others for their legitimate opinion and not even leaving a name.

House Fan Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 12:28 PM EST

Sorry, Sandra, if it sounded like I was attacking you; I was just get really annoyed when people take quotes from interviews and twist them to fit a certain point of view. I've seen all the same interviews you have and I guarantee you that Hugh was just complimenting his co-stars; he probably couldn't care less about a Wilson and Cuddy romance, or any other show romance, for that matter. And I agree with you that people should be entitled to their opinions, but that means everyone, not just you. Saying "Grow up and get a life" is immature and does not reflect the point you were trying to get across at all. Also, I'm not even the one who mentioned your name in my post, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to come after me. We can all get along here without insulting each other, and that includes me, so I regret the tone of that one line in my original post.

Jenny Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 11:39 AM EST

I love this news!! I totally adore the House/Cuddy relationship more than anything. I love the idea of an October/October romance. ;-)

Sandra Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 10:42 AM EST

I'm just sad that Hugh didn't win the Emmy he would have deserved it so much! Hope he gets well soon!

Sandra Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 10:41 AM EST

@House Fan: Never said I am totally against Huddy, did I? Grow up and get a life, when you have a problem with other people's opinions, that's how it is in real life. Hugh mentioned more than once in interviews that he enjoys the chemistry between RSL and LE, so it's just a logical consequence. And I think he's right. To be honest I'm just not seeing House and Cuddy in THAT way. It's what YOU'd like to see. I do enjoy their boss-employee-relationship and their friendship very much, anyhting else would ruin that. Well, my opinion, take it or leave it, I don't care anyway. I love House because of Hugh and that's not going to change anyway.

Jojo Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 08:27 PM EST

great interview! I'm not particularly a Huddy fan, but I'm actually looking forward to this 'kiss' and whatever else the writers have planned for this season of House. And it's looking pretty exciting so far. Your Lisa E. interview is just fantastic! I am loving her.

Love what she said about Hugh too. It's like a crime to deny him an Emmy for 3 years. He's completely brilliant and deserves to be recognized for his talent.

Mish Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 06:07 PM EST

OMFG!!
This interview is great!!

I lov the part when she daid...2 weeks of exercises hahahahahahaha

Lisa is so gorgeous!

I lov you Ausiello!!!

I can't wait for see the kiss OMG!!!!

P. Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 05:34 PM EST

Could she be any greater? I friggin love this woman!
Gosh, the huddy kiss is gonna KILL ME, but what a way to go. XD
Oh, and I too hope Hugh wins this year, because he so deserves it.

Arial Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 05:20 PM EST

Finally! They are the perfect pair on House. I could never take Cameron and House seriously, but these two were made for each other. And what's wrong with "mushy" between House and Cuddy, Lisa? It's not like they met yesterday and fell into bed; the characters have known each other for years.

Rita Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 04:13 PM EST

OMG!Lisa is gorgeous! Thanks for the scoop!! I can't wait for the kiss!

laylagalise Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:55 PM EST

Consider me braced and ecstatic! I love to hear more info on the kiss, even if it is vague. Ausiello, you are awesome!

Aurelia Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:44 PM EST

Yay! I can't wait to see the kiss.

Huddy would be a mess but it'd be an awesome mess. Can't and wouldn't want to see House and Cuddy with anyone else.

Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:43 PM EST

Sandra, just because he said he enjoys watching RSL and LE, doesn't translate to him being a Wilson/Cuddy fan. Jeez... you anti-huddy's like to read into every little things.

The world will not end if those two hook up, and to Huddy fans, it won't end if they don't. Just enjoy the freaking show.

House Fan Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:42 PM EST

Yay! Just when I didn't think it was possible to love Lisa or Ausiello anymore that I already do this comes along to brighten my day. Great interview!

Oh, and Hugh never said he wanted Wilson and Cuddy together; he just complimented Lisa and Robert on their acting abilities. House and Cuddy is happening; it is time to come to terms with it.

I hope House and Hugh win tonight!

cg Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:25 PM EST

Can I be your proof reader???? Love Cuddy. I work in a hospital sometimes and we have very few, if any, admin folks who dress like hookers. We need more.

Carolzitahh_BR Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:11 PM EST

Thankss sooo much Ausiello!!!!!!

Sandra Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:09 PM EST

Thank god, sounds like the "kiss" is a one-time thing, good! Hugh outed himself as Wilson/Cuddy-fan in the interview with E's Kristen and I totally agree with him. House and Cuddy as a couple would ruin the show.
And I agree with Lisa, Hugh deserves the Emmy more than anyone, I hope he'll win this year *keeping my fingers crossed for him*

Eve Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 02:59 PM EST

Ausiello you are officially my God !!
Thanks for asking Lisa about the kiss.
Isn't she the most fantastic person ever ! luv her !

Cath Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 02:39 PM EST

i love you ausiello! thanks for the scoop! lisa e is gorgeous!!

Kraw Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 02:23 PM EST

two weeks of exercises


aHAHAHAHHAHAH


I Love HEr!
