Fans of House that live in New Jersey may know about a location where House filmed this week. It’s an old, abandoned mental hospital there called Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Parsippany, NJ. The House crew was there yesterday to film lots of background scenes and other B-roll for use in the series during season 6. So when the season 6 episodes begin, NJ viewers will need to keep an eye open for the local shots. How cool!
That tells me that Wilson’s brother will play into things next season. We’ve been introduced to the idea of Wilson’s schizophrenic, formerly homeless brother who is now in a mental hospital, but it looks like we’ll get to see it more next season.
Or, there is an even more fascinating possibility too. Since we’ve been told that House himself is headed for a breakdown, will it be him that’s a patient in the hospital…? Here’s an excerpt from the article on the local New Jersey news web site:
Shoot Information:
The massive old Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital is “open” for business again, and its top doctor may be Hugh Laurie, star of TV’s “House.”Crews from the popular Fox TV show spent today re-making the abandoned state hospital in Parsippany into the fictional Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. They are expected to shoot some background scenes for next year’s episodes of the popular series Wednesday morning.
Officials from Universal Studios were tight-lipped about their plans at Greystone and whether any stars of the show might be on hand today. They said the set would be closed to the public. Police also said the road leading to the hospital would be temporarily closed.
Steve Gorelick, executive director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission, also had little to say about the show’s filming today.
What do you think this means for the show? I’d love to hear your thoughts!!!

[...] now know why they did the “top secret” filming at the closed mental hospital in New Jersey. It had to be for the scene with Wilson dropping off House. Now I wonder what next season will [...]
Grace: I think we didn’t see him, he was only mentioned on the episodes “Social Contract” and “Histories”, what I meant was quoting this post “That tells me that Wilson’s brother will play into things next season.” I guess I wrote it wrong (sometimes I type too fast) and let’s face it, anything it’s more than zero… (if he does appear on the screen, I mean)
Lina, When have we ever seen Wilson’s brother?
Who is he played by?
Thanks.
Maybe they institutionalize House in the same place as Wilson’s brother? I read Wilson’s brother will be a part of the episodes in early season 6. Putting them together might be interesting. Maybe House finds a physical reason for his mental illness and cures him.
Looks like we’re in for some interesting stuff next season. Hope, it’s not House ending up there. What’s that tagline again? “Genius has side effects”…
where was the photo posted?
I agree with Sheila, I think it’s House being the patient, the Amber halluzination is the start. I’m curious to see what they plan…
maybe Wilson’s brother is the patient and that’s why he gets more time on the screen on the season…
but I woudln’t shut down the possibility of House being institutionalized… I hope he didn’t get much time there, I think he’ll not be long but maybe he’ll find a patient there, confince he’s sick (maybe that he’s sane too, and go to the PPTH) and treat because that’s House… (and then confince everybody this way how sane he is and like this he finds his way out of there) or something like this xD
I think it’s House who gets institutionalized. Wilson’s brother is a side bar storyline.
A fan posted a photo from this week of HL back in NY in full House scruff after the Easter long weekend out of country. He didn’t look like he was on vacation as yet.
I suspect some actual scenes may have been shot for the Season 5 finale at this old facility. Perhaps the Huddy Hook-up actually occurs here. That would meet Ds version of House-ian.
I really feel terrible at the idea of Gregory House being institutionalized. What a storyline if that’s where they go.
