House - Olivia Wilde on her return
Nov 5, 2010
Cancelled ShowsOlivia Wilde — aka the beloved Thirteen — has some good news for House fans: She will definitely return to the Fox drama this season! Wilde took a leave of absence this fall to shoot a starring role in the big-budget sci-fi Western Cowboys and Aliens but confirms to EW that her comeback is already in the works.
“I am coming back to House. This season, as a matter of fact. It is a done deal,” Wilde told EW while attending the 19th Annual BAFTA LA Britannia Awards Thursday in Los Angeles. “I have been really lucky this year to be offered all these great film opportunities and I was also blessed to have a job in TV that really worked with me to get me to a place where I could do those films and not miss those opportunities like Tron.
“They have it all worked out and the viewers will find out where she went and why she left,” Wilde continued. “I think it is an interesting progression for her. Thirteen has been through a lot so it has to be escalated. She has Huntington’s. She had a brain tumor and went blind. She had a bad breakup. She’s sexually ambiguous. She had problems with drugs. I thought, `What else can (creator) David Shore possibly come up with?’ They had to take it to a whole new level. They are really taking some big risks this year, which is exciting.”
Until then, Wilde said she’s working on the body-swapping comedy The Change Up with Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Mann and Jason Bateman. “We’re shooting in Atlanta. It is so boring and dull. No one laughs. We just sit around and cry all day. [Laughs]. No, it is absolutely the funniest job.”

Heh. I just read this over at EW. Earlier today, I also read that House has Amber Tamblyn for 13 episodes this season. I'm really hoping that they have room for both actresses as series regulars, but I have the awful feeling that it won't work out that way.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that she will back I miss Thirteen!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you're in Atlanta, you can be an extra in Olivia's film The Change Up. They need about 3000 people at Turner Field on Saturday Nov 6. You have to register though. No pay but for every extra, $5 will be donated to the Atlanta Braves charity. You can find details linking to the registration at the WSB-TV website.
ReplyDeleteWell Amber Tamblyn's character is actually a med student, so she technically wouldn't be able to stay on the team, you know?
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't make any sense. The head of the hospital signed off on her addition to the team (it was, in fact, her idea) and she's going to be supervised by a member of the team when in the presence of patients. If her being a med student was an obstacle Cuddy wouldn't have placed her on the team. What aspect of her being a med student would be a problem 13 episodes from now, yet wouldn't be a problem right now?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I have missed her :D
