Wow, this show has gone through too many cast changes, I haven't watched since '08, so the cast pic was a big jarring. I see they've added a new Cameron/Thirteen stand-in.

I'm sure you don't care this much, but: there are two new female castmembers, since they lost Thirteen and Cuddy. But the "pretty one" frustratingly fills basically the same role. Thirteen at least got to be a little bit different eventuslly, but the newest girl basically IS Cameron-from-the-first-couple-seasons. (God, I can't even think of the new character's name right now.)

Cameron was the girl House claimed was too pretty to be a doctor, so she must be fucked up somehow. But she was in it to Do The Right Thing, because she wanted to Help People, and because she was almost unfalteringly idealistic. The new woman... is the one who is super-pretty, and so House has wanted to know why she's in medicine and what her fucked-upedness must be. And it's that she wants to Do The Right Thing because she's had such a financially privileged life, so she wants to Help People, and she's almost unfalteringly idealistic.

Aw, thank you for informing me! I think it's dumb that the writers feel that House MUST have a young, pretty, 'stands-for-everything-righteous' doctor to both flirt with and heckle at. It's always the same dynamic. You would think they would want to do something different. This doctor sounds like a shameless mash-up of the other two.

I wonder if they'll do a storyline with her having a health scare, and House giving her a tough love speech that turns out to be both cynical and an unexpected sign that he cares about her (Cameron's HIV scare; Thirteen's Huntington's storyline).

Basically. That's exactly it, it's like the writers don't know what to do unless they can fit a character into that role. And for bonus fake-Cameron points, there's some vague subtext between her and Chase. I can't wait for the inevitable health scare/House's emotional yet cynical speech about it. I'm pretty sure it's coming, since that's how the writers always use the character. Though maybe the show won't last long enough for them to shove that one in.

It's really just kind of... sad to see how far the show has fallen in quality. At least in my opinion.
