Clearly this can mean only one thing: The relationship is doomed, right?

I dont think [so], necessarily, Hugh Laurie tells me.

But lets face it, neither of these characters has a clean license.

Buckle up,' he adds, would be my advice.

Lisa Edelstein, who plays Houses significant other, shares her costars trepidation.

I was terrified of saying I love you,' she admits.

Laurie is ready too, weird as it may feel to him.

Even the appearance of happiness [in House] has taken some getting used to, he says.

I had a week of happiness training before the season started up, and Im whistling more than usual.

Is his small-screen counterpart whistling more than he did, say, when he was with Sela Wards Stacy?

But speaking as a friend of House, he seems to be attracted to strong women.

Can Huddy make it work?

Or is the beginning of their romance the end ofHouseas we know (and love) it?
