Hugh Laurie to raise a smile in the next season of house?

Hugh Laurie is gonna need to learn how to smile! The British actor says his famously grumpy character in the TV show House might be happy in its next season. Dr. Gregory House will find love with Lisa Cuddy — and in the season premiere, the couple will be seen laughing, and canoodling on the beach.

“Even the appearance of happiness [in House] has taken some getting used to,” Laurie told Entertainment Weekly magazine.

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

“I’ve always thought of House as a romantic, and I don’t think romantics are much given to comparing.

“But speaking as a friend of House, he seems to be attracted to strong women. He likes to get as good as he gives—and I mean that in as many senses as are suitable for a family readership.”

Laurie has previously revealed how he thought House would fail — and he lived in a hotel room because he was too nervous to buy his own pad.
“I was so convinced the whole thing was going to fail, I couldn’t contemplate committing to any long-term arrangement. I thought a hotel was a safe bet,” he said earlier this year.

“There are a lot of days when I feel as if I have been woken from a coma and told six years have gone by, and I have no awareness of it. Is Queen Elizabeth still on the throne? Do we still drive on the left? Do we still have pounds?

“I have almost been playing House long enough to have qualified to become a doctor.”
