Yes! I'm hoping in Season 5 the original team is brought back. And maybe his new team is just distributed through the hospital as ordinary doctors.

They kind of hinted at that when Cameron was doing House's paperwork an episode or two back. She was telling House how she missed the job. But then she so coldly says she doesn't miss him. What a bitch!

Original cast will return. It was talked about by the cast before this season started.

We were talking about having the original team return to work under House as his assistants again. :p

Plus, they would have written them out in last night's episode if they weren't returning to the show. At least I think they would have?

Sorry, that is what I meant by saying the original cast will return.

Re: House M.D. Tonight (No More Mr. Nice Guy 4/28)
 

In that case, sweet!

Initially, I didn't like the idea of new assistants at all. And I tried hard not to like 13, Kutner, and Taub. But they've grown on me.

But Cameron, Chase, and Foreman will always be #1 in my heart.

Actually, I think it'd be cool if they allowed House to expand his team to 6 people so he could have all of them.

I think it would create some interesting storylines. Like at first, the old three and new three would work against each other. But then they would slowly come together. And I could even see some love triangles. Like between Cameron, Chase, and 13.

I can't wait until fall!

Taub can go. He's flat and uninteresting. I like Kutner. 13 is too similar to Cameron; she needs a character adjustment (which could happen with the diagnosis of HD), or have her go out.

Having all six of them remain creates an ensemble cast that I think removes a lot; we didn't get to explore the original team in the same depth as house before; expanding the focus to cover all six would make things even more shallow. Maybe not. But it would make things more challenging.

A story arc that starts them at six and then gradually widdles down to the original three with roles for Kutner and possibly 13 as more auxillary characters sounds right.

I don't understand why they keep the original cast around and have this new cast....they had a winning formula going with the first 3 seasons. Oh well. Hopefully next season will be the end of Kumar. I still can't take him seriously after watching him perform emergency surgery in Harold and Kumar.
