TV Guide has some "House" scoop for us.  What is this I hear?  Jesse Spencer's and Amber Tamblyn's character are going to be paired.  It's about time for Chase to have a love interest.  House will baby-sit a toddler?  Read on ...

Lisa Edelstein says an early House episode will find her character, Dr. Cuddy, entrusting House with caring for her 3-year-old child. "We just started shooting this," says Lisa. "House realizes he's taken on a lot by dating a woman with a baby. She trusts him with the child because she knows he's a brilliant doctor and not an evil guy, so he's not going to kill the baby." Off camera, Lisa says, Hugh Laurie is great with the child actor. "Hugh's got three kids in real life so he is very good at making funny faces. Children really latch on to him." But it's an entirely different scenario between Dr. House and Cuddy's tot. "House has a hard time connecting with the baby. He finds the child almost alien."

House executive producer David Shore says Amber Tamblyn's new character (a fill in for Olivia Wilde's absent Thirteen), "is a brilliant medical student with not a lot of experience in the real world, so facing House is like being thrown in to the deep end." Jesse Spencer, whose Dr. Chase starts the season off as a single guy hopping from one lady to the next, hinted to me that Chase will most likely be matched with Amber romantically. "Post divorce, he stars sewing his wild oats a bit, which is fun for me to play," Jesse says.  "Most of the women he's pursuing are outside the hospital, but that could change once he meets Amber's character."

My oh my, it sure is a different scenario for Season 7.  House is going to baby-sit a toddler.  This is sure one hell of an episode for a grumpy doc like House.  But, the good thing is that he is trying.  I hope he surpasses this test of patience.  I'm sure it is a funny episode.  I can't imagine him with kids without being funny or horrible.  What do you think?
