Lisa Edelstein recently said in a statement: "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."

There will be no more Huddy in House as co-star Lisa Edelstein won't come back to the veteran Fox medical drama in the upcoming season. Edelstein was one of three main cast members of House, together with Robert Sean Leonard and Omar Epps, whose original contracts expired at the end with this season.

Leonard and Epps re-upped earlier this month, when Edelstein's deal also looked on course to make. But word is that she ultimately did not return to the series for the next eighth (and likely final) season, putting intense end to the on-again-off-again romance among her character Dr. Cuddy and Hugh Laurie's Dr. House also known as Huddy. Along with Epps, Edelstein was asked to consider a cut from her most recent income of $175,000 a episode, nevertheless the offer was still pretty excellent, so she actually is leaving from more than $2 million. Her departure will leave only one regular female cast member, Olivia Wilde and with Wilde's hot film career, she is seldom on full-time.
