Ever since "House" began, there has been a special chemistry between Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his boss -- Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). Two weeks ago, fans finally got a bit of a payoff when the two kissed.
But exactly what does the kiss mean? Will there be a full-blown romance, or will the two TV docs try to regain their previous status quo?
"I don't think that it will go on in a predictable, 'Okay, now everything is shifting, and this is the story kind of way,'" executive producer Katie Jacobs said in a phone call about the show. "Hopefully, we explore it in a very 'House-ian' way, which is, 'It's there, and, now what do we do?' But, don't expect to see dates and them going to the movies. It's not going to unfold like that."
That said, Jacobs feels that the relationship between House and Cuddy may be more real than any other relationship on TV, because real relationships are complicated. And any relationship with House is going to be difficult.
"They may not be right for each other," Jacobs points out. "I think that what's so interesting to us about the relationship is that I could, right now, make a case for it and make a case against it. That feels real to me, the fact that there are two sides."
In fact, Jacobs believes that just as there is chemistry between House and Cuddy, there is also chemistry between House and Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and House and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde).
"We go for as much chemistry as possible," she says. "I think what it is, is House, as a character, has an emptiness. What most of these women want to do is somehow see if they can ease his pain. They think on the inside that there's a lot of pain and, if they can somehow be the one to make House smooth out those rough edges, wouldn't it be sweet? But it's mostly going to be up to House. He could have a relationship with any one of them, but he's got to be in the mind space where he's ready to make himself vulnerable. I don't see him as being at that place entirely at the moment."
And while Jacobs won't give away too much about the burgeoning relationship between House and Cuddy, she does give us the following tease: "The Christmas episode really has a very satisfying surprise for Cuddy and House in a personal way. I do not mean that they wind up embracing each other. It's House-ian. It's left of center."
"House" airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on FOX.
