How LE Influenced the Writing of House MD

May 23, 2014 16:24

From the beginning, Edelstein was drawn to the character of Cuddy but confesses she felt somewhat underused the first season of the show -- a common complaint made by the show's fans. "I didn't feel my character was getting used or thought about," Edelstein says. "It wasn't about wanting more attention; it was about wanting to keep my job and make sure my character stayed in the show! So, yeah, I was nervous."

Edelstein didn't want to come off as "an annoying, desperate actor," so she took it upon herself to come up with ideas for Cuddy, pondering Cuddy's back story and relationship with House. Then the actor presented her ideas to the show's creator and producer, David Shore. "It was great; he liked all my ideas," she says.
