TV Guide has a great new interview with Michael Weston who plays Lucas on House. Lucas is the private investigator that Cuddy is dating at the moment. I love what he has to say about the “three-way” nature of the relationship on the show. His comments about how people feel about it is even cuter!
He mentions an upcoming steamy, nude scene with Cuddy which should make all the Huddy fans upset. But, of course, the season isn’t over yet… Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
TVGuide.com: What can we expect with the House-Cuddy-Lucas love triangle?
Weston: I have a feeling that House and Lucas have a lot more adventures together. I think Cuddy has a thing for House, and Lucas sort of has a thing for House — in terms of his friendship. They get along like buddies, and they’re both intrigued by the others’ profession. And they both can use each other, which they do. It’s almost like it’s a love triangle with this ever-present third party. It’s an intellectual ménage à trois. [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: How about Cuddy and Lucas? What attracts them to each other?
Weston: I think it’s because they’re complete opposites. For Lucas, she is an intriguing woman that offered a domesticity that he probably never envisioned for himself, especially now that Cuddy has a kid. I think for her, Lucas is young, blunt and honest, but not deceptive. Lucas will speak his mind before he’s figured out what he’s going to say, and he’s a terrible liar. It’s sort of the opposite of House, who is so calculated. I think Cuddy loves House, and yet feels that their relationship would be doomed from Day One. So maybe she found the antithesis of House in Lucas, who is honest and he really likes her.
TVGuide.com: A lot of fans aren’t too keen that Lucas has put a road block in a possible “Huddy” romance.
Weston: I have a feeling we’re the most hated out of the House couples. I actually was getting a coffee at my nearby coffee shop, and someone there says to me, “Huddy, man — you’re messing up Huddy.” And he was totally serious, like looking right into my eyes as though I had just broken up with his sister. I’m was like, “Sorry, I really wanted that to work out.” [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: Rumor has you and Lisa have a steamy scene together coming up.
Weston: Yeah, the Cuddy-Lucas affair gets steamier. Those are always moments that are awkward [for actors]. You’re still getting to know each other and there’s like five dudes holding equipment, looking at you thinking, “What’s up? Yeah, I see you there naked. That’s cool.”
TVGuide.com: If you didn’t play Lucas and were just a fan, who would you say Cuddy should be with?
Weston: I can’t imagine her not being with House at some point in the evolution of the series — assuming House could get it together and become a full human being. I can see Lucas and Cuddy being together for a long time as well if they grow into each other, because as it is right now, they’re learning to get along and open up with one another. I think for Lisa’s character, she finds it difficult not being the boss and in charge, and being at work all the time. She sort of busies herself to avoid emotional vulnerability. That’s where Lucas is important to her character. He brings a vulnerability and openness that can’t really exist in that hospital because House won’t allow it.

I like the character and the actor.
I think the bow Cuddy and Luke more interesting and believable that Cuddy / House.
I believe that a relationship Luddy will be more interesting, because the condition of Cuddy as a mother.
I do not see House, House leading Joy to the playground or changing diapers.
Anyway, this show is never consistent, let’s see where it will arrive.
I like Luddy, so I’m glad if he stays. The other thing Micheal Weston is involves is a Broadway piece for four weeks in February/March, so I don’t think that’s a reason for him not being around any longer.
Hmmm….I thought I just read that Michael Weston had another gig coming up real soon. I was under the impression that he wouldn’t be around much longer.
I agree with Paulac45 :) I’m also laughing along with the funny comment “as a partner for Cuddy he makes my teeth ache” – because I very much agree!
All I can say about Luddy is – BOOOO – the Lucas character was a great addition to the show when he was just a PI and House’s friend and nothing more than that, but I’m not a fan of Luddy at all. Not at all. It makes my teeth ache too.
Being a total Huddy fan, this whole article/interview depressed me, particularly as the hints/rumours earlier in the season (I think poss by Ausiello) was that Lucas would not be around after early February – poss. after the upcoming Cuddy centric episode. It would seem from the interview that Lucas is going to be around for a while. As a friend and foil to House he was good and funny, but as a partner for Cuddy he makes my teeth ache!
