Lisa Edelstein, better known as Dr. “Hot Legs” Cuddy, has announced that she will leave “House” after seven years.
The actress, whose contract was set to expire at the end of season 7, has decided to not sign on for the season ahead. (Colleagues Robert Sean Leonard and Omar Epps, however, have.) Edelstein released the following statement about her move: “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.” [EW]
Bummer. But at least at least House and Cuddy got their long-burning will-they-or-won’t-they issue got settled before she left. Now House can focus on sexually harassing some other female doctors. Ha ha, it’s funny because he’d lose his job in real life.
What’s that you say? You’d like a completely unnecessary gallery of Lisa Edelstein looking attractive? Very well then. I am a slave to your demands.
