Lisa Edelstein Leaving ‘House’ House Will Have No One to Cuddy With
Actress Lisa Edelstein confirmed today that she will not return to the popular Fox series 'House' for an eighth season.
"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," the actress said in a statement.
Sources for the Hollywood Reporter said that Edelstein, who has played Dr. Lisa Cuddy since the show premiered in 2004, was asked to take a pay cut for the upcoming season. (Her contract with the show ends after this season.)
How this affects the future of 'House' remains to be seen.
The season 7 finale of 'House' airs Monday at 8PM.
