'HOUSE' SEASON 4 SPOILERS

The countdown to the return of House continues and with just about six weeks left, fans are getting even more eager to find out what's in store for the doctors of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

As we reported previously, producers have cooked up some changes that will possibly give the hit medical drama a new twist. Other cast members have also shed light on the show's new direction at the Fox Television Critics Press Tour.

Meanwhile, here are more hints straight from the regulars. Read on to find out more:





Season three left a lot of hanging questions, especially pertaining to the departure of three major characters, including Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), who was dismissed by Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), who resigned and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), who also resigned in a previous episode.

Of course, as reported previously, all three are bound to return in the upcoming season.

“House spends the first episode without anyone there—he doesn't have a team, and it takes quite a few episodes for us to come back. And I'm actually hired back by Cuddy, so now I'm not under House anymore. That adds new weight to the characters. I'm in a different position, and House has to come to me if he's got something he needs,” Spencer explained.
“Well, when we start out the season, he's heading his own team, and stuff happens there,” Epps, whose character struck out on his own, said.

"When you come back for the first episode, you don't know where Cameron is, and in the second episode back, you sort of discover where she's at, but I can't give it away," Morrison, who won't be appearing in the season premiere, hinted.
Furthermore, Robert Sean Leonard, who plays Dr. James Wilson on the series, has dished in on the rest of the cast.

"I'm still at Princeton-Plainsboro, as is Lisa [Edelstein]'s character, and the ducklings have gone to wing. House needs a new team, and he goes about it in a very interesting way. And I've only read the first three [scripts], but it is great—it's very fun to watch him whittle these doctors down," Leonard added.

As for the main man, Laurie has also given some insights about his character's bitterness.

When asked if he misses his people, the House star said, “The truth is, yes, but House being House, the last thing on earth he wants to do is admit it, but yes, I think it's pretty clear that there is a gap...Whether he wanted to or not, he's grown attached to these people."

Catch the premiere of House season 4 on Tuesday, September 25 at 9/8c on FOX.
