An exclusive interview with Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Allison Cameron).
Jennifer Morrison plays Dr. Allison Cameron on House M.D. One of House’s (the brilliant Hugh Laurie) original fellows, Cameron now runs the Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital Emergency Room. In addition to her House duties, Morrison is featured in this spring’s Star Trek feature film. The busy and gracious Morrison kindly took time out of her hectic schedule to talk with me by phone about House and working on Star Trek.…

Kirpio: Aren't there eight more new episodes, 24 in all, left?
Loved the review barbara, btw : )

Hi Carolyn - Yep, there are 8 more, and I'm looking forward to all of them, but the last 5 Jennifer mentions as being particularly good, impacting all the characters! So I'm most excited for those :D

I miss Cameron on the show. She did bring the issue of moral ethics as a conflict and it definitely made the show more interesting.
To the new romances happening around the show?
Ugh.
All I can say is, that I miss the old seasons. The House and Cameron staring contests. It was freaky but I have to add, so darn sexy.

Of course, now you have to do an interview with Jesse Spencer, aka Chase. Grubby? Uh yeah. Surgeons tend not to have their Sunday best on at work. Wilson does, but his surgical consists mainly of his wearing the apron coverall thingie.

Barbara, in case you're still reading here, I wanted to tell you that out of the blue, last night - my husband announced that he's dressing up as House for Purim!!!
Jeans, running shoes, a ratty old (his version of "vintage") T shirt with a jacket over it, a blue backpack, and an old cane that my mother used to use, spraypainted black, and he's going to paint flames up the sides! His beard is close-cropped enough to pass for scruff, and he's planning to ride to shul Monday night on our motorcycle! I just hope that people get it, because most of our friends aren't major-league House watchers. And even though he watches the show with me, he's nowhere near the fanatic that I am, so this was really a surprise!
Luckily, he hasn't yet suggested that I dress up as Cuddy, but I wouldn't put it past him :-)

Thanks again for your kind comments. Been away for a couple of days, nice to come back to your notes. NancyGail--I suppose I should do an interview with Jesse now... we shall see...or one of the other cast members.
Orange--that is hilarious! What a great costume. I haven't quite decided how I will show up on the bima Monday night. chag purim sameach to you!
32 - Orange450
Chag Purim sameach to you too, Barbara. Do you read the Megillah?
Thank goodness for DVRs. I remember a time when we would have missed House on Monday night, and been out of luck until the rerun! And the episode promises to be amazing!!
Recently, I've been tempted to write a series of short pieces on House and Torah study. I've been coming across commentaries that remind me strongly of issues that House faces, or situations that he's had to deal with. Either it's because the show's on my mind, or because of the universality of its subject matter. I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
33 - barbara barnett
Orange--Yes. I chant megillah (actually all 5 of them). Part of the training ;)
I'm directing our annual Purim spiel...done this year ala the Maltese Falcon. I often refer to House in my Adult Education classes. Unfaithful had me discussing and debating that quote from Einstein and House's philosphical arguments throughout the episode. I'm planning a class for next year on the House and values.

I'm very impressed!! My daughter can "leyn" Megillot Esther and Shir HaShirim beautifully, but she'll only do it in an all-women setting.
Too bad you're in the mid-West, because I'd love to attend your classes! I facilitate a weekly study group, and almost started discussing House in the context of Parshat Terumah (taking and giving) last week. (No viewers in the group, so it wouldn't have worked.) It's good to be able to share with someone who understands this - so thanks for being here :-)
