The House / Hameron / Huddy Question

House fans, you aren’t the only ones with opinions about who would be best for House to get romantic with. TV Guide’s Matt Roush answers this question from a fellow fan:

Question: I know there is to be a division of ‘shippers in any fan base, but I have to say, I just don’t get the Hameron ‘shippers on House. I was a Hameron ‘shipper all the way through the second season, but right now it seems not only unlikely, but also out of character. House pays prostitutes for sex and even slept with a married woman, so we know that he has very little qualms about getting his rocks off when he feels like it. So why would House not have had sex with the beautiful Cameron when he had the chance all the way back in Season 1? I think he knew, given her feelings for him, that it would be wrong to do so while having absolutely no feelings for her — one of the few decent things he’s ever done. Also, Cameron is clearly not House’s type. I’m not saying House doesn’t care about her on some level, but I really think it’s in more of a fatherly way, despite his inappropriateness towards her (and all females). He’s nurtured her into being a much better doctor and, quite frankly, less of a wimp. They are just completely wrong for each other romantically. I think, if anyone, Doctor Cuddy is more of his type. Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein have great chemistry, and their scenes together are funny and interesting. I’m looking forward to that being explored next year, and I can only hope that it doesn’t end too soon for the writers to satisfy the vocal Hameron minority. That would be a shark-jump.— Reina
Matt Roush: And you think I’m going to jump into the middle of this debate why? You’d think the fact they’ve marginalized Cameron so much this season would have already put the kibosh on the notion of ingénue and former mentor becoming a serious item. But Cuddy and House? So much more fun to contemplate, not that I’m pining for the grouchy doc to get serious (if that’s even possible) with any of the regulars. Personally, I still miss Sela Ward.

Any comments about the question? Let’s get a discussion going…

    House and Cuddy are perfect for each other, except for the 95% of the time they completely don’t agree on anything and are struggling for power. Maybe if one of them got a different job… but as it is if they got together they’d be fighting until Judgement Day.

    On the other hand House and Cameron have established roles, can agree and just overall make a great team. House and Cuddy don’t make a team, they make a bloodbath. Overall the greatest reason to go Hameron was pointed out by Mariah, they’ve both suffered and just have a deeper relationship than the Huddy phenom. House doesn’t need someone to be constantly at war with, House/Cameron just need someone who gets them, on some level they’re deeper than even House/Wilson.

    Chase is going south in a hurry, that can been seen from a mile away. Look for House/Cameron, even if it takes a season or two.

    Thank you Mariah! They have hinted at hameron for ever! I hate when shows practically tell you it’s there and gonna happen then go sike. Cameron accepts who he is and would be good for him. Huddy would not last like stacy. I HATE stacy. She hurt house ok and Huddy would be boring. Cameron and House DO have chemistry and he DOES give her all the looks and remarks. Everyone in the show sees it too! I am so pissed that Hameron is nearly nonexsitant now. They have to bring it back somehow and put a stop to Huddy. I do not like the fact that Cameron was with Chase and such. House is good alone,but it would make me sad if it ended that way and would take away my hope in love. Cameron has evovled so much as a chaachter and it’s sad to see all of that go to no use.

    PLEASE WRITERS BRING BACK HAMERON!!!

    Alright, I don’t understand where people come off saying House and Cameron have NO Chemistry. THEY HAVE AMAZING CHEMISTRY!
    Seasons one and two Cameron was a little awkward around House, looking up to him as the big bad boss and seeing that no one really cared for him, and so she became attached. I love the idea of them being together. If they do eventually Hook-up as a one nigh thing, great, but I would love to see them go further than that. I know it wouldn’t be very house-like (understatement), but doesn’t the thought of House ending up alone make you depressed?
    After the pain of crippling his leg and losing the woman he loved, I for one think he deserves to be happy. Cameron is perfect, she has grown strong and has her own opinions, doesn’t get intimidated. She fits with him well, and they share something no one else has shared with House through the whole series; She makes him FEEL. (Well other than Stacy of course)
    Do you see the looks he puts on when she surprises him or says something hurtful? (Examples : “I don’t miss you.”, “…Goodbye House”) He looks sad, actually an emotion we can read on his face. Sad, disappointed, whatever. And they share intense looks and ideas and you can completely tell that he misses her on his team. when she left briefly in season one did you see how devastated he was? It was the worst we’d seen him react to anything other than a patient or his Vicodin.
    Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Cuddy, and i wouldn’t be against their hook-up, but Cameron and House deserve something together, it’s been hinted at FOREVER and the disappearance of her in season 4 and 5 is so frustrating. Something’s gotta give between them, because even to the Hameron haters, everyone KNOWS he cares for her pretty deeply. Contrary to popular belief i think he hates when he hurts her. I Totally think they will be ready for a relationship near the end. Cameron and House both have suffered relationship pain, and they compliment each other. Once again, i know it would be weird to see House in a relationship, but House has done some weird things over the seasons that have been against his nature. HOUSE and CAMERON deserve to be happy, they are both pivotal characters and should not be ignored. Don’t ruel out a Hameron comeback, they’ll be comin with a vengance

    Huddy forever…mad mad chemistry…every other relationship eg Hameron…lacks majorly in chemistry….even though Huddy may not work out in the end…those 2 have such intense chemistry it would be a shame to see nothing happening…

  5. By Tammy

    I prefer Hameron, as much as I like Cuddy sometimes, I don’t think I could stand Huddy. Dunno, there’s just something there that I don’t believe nor do I want to see.

    “I guess I also like it cause I heard that Jennifer Morrison and Hugh Laurie had been hoping they writers would put them together.”
    ^ True that. I heard/read that somewhere too (just like that thing about Jennifer facing all Hameron fans when she was in Italy :P).

    Technically, I can vote for both ships. Hameron AND Huddy.

    But I have some views on it. Hameron will mean a break up between Chase and Cameron. That’ll have some ‘emotional’ scenes, as Chase is supposed to really love Cam and such. Then if House and her relationship ends up badly, we’ll have an very, very hurt Cameron. Lot’s of attention to that.

    For Huddy.. sure it would be interesting to see those two in an relationship that doesn’t only excist for the sex. But to be fair, I like the chemistry and tention they have going on right now much better. If they have an relationship, these two have a huge chance to ‘go with the flow’.

    They either have to get someone that isn’t a series regular or just leave House single forever (but do let him have a kid or w/e, helloooo the House-hood can’t become an endangered species). Even tho I do like one of those two ships.

    I don’t really understand Huddy relationship fans. I think the two of them have great chemistry, but that’s it. They don’t make sense together emotionally. While I think they would have hot sex that would be all. She is also too much like Stacey in the strong sarcastic woman department. While I don’t really think Cameron and House will ever get together I think they are a better match because she is so different from Stacey. It would be a completely new experience for house. I guess I also like it cause I heard that Jennifer Morrison and Hugh Laurie had been hoping they writers would put them together.

    Hey what about house and wilson?! Jokes, just thought id throw it out there. Hilson!

  12. By claudya

    Well, i think House really don´t like Cameron, it´s a fact in this 4th. season. House and Lisa could be a lovely couple!!! I think in the serie is missing a little romance for the all team!!!! All they need is love!!!!!

  13. By lea

    Someone pls murder David Shore if Huddy doesn’t happen in season 5! Its so blady frustrating. Just let it happen already. He’s going against the forsec of nature!

  14. By Alex

    He’s too miserable to last with anyone. Doesn’t matter who he hooks up with. I just hate the way the writer’s have reduced Cuddy to this weak ass puddle that is a total doormat. Her character was much better written in the 1st and 2nd season.

  15. By Tamiris

    ERRO, HAMERON (2102)

  16. By tess

    ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY WERE AN FAN OF AN SHIP WAS NEVER AN TURE FAN ANYWAY YOU’ILL PROBABLY LIKE 13 AFTER SEASON 5!!!

  17. By Bia

    what I really mean is, GO CUDDY!

  18. By Bia

    well…. I´m a Huddy shipper, always been, always will be.
    The thing is. As Cameron said, he couldn´t love her at the 1º and 2º season because he still was stucked with his felling for Stacy, but now, we can see that in a way or another, he let it go. About Cuddy, we see their amazing chemistry since the very first episode. Then, in that episode, Humpy Dumpty, Cameron interrogates Cuddy about why she still haven´t fired House, and her answer is amazing. “The question is not why I still haven´t fired him. Is WHY I hired him.”
    Then, in the 3º season, episode “Top Secret” we find out that they have once had an one-night-stand. and now at the 4º season, things are getting hotter than it never was at the other seasons. I think that House does love Cuddy and Cuddy does love House, but they just can´t jump at each other because their relationship boss/employee, what´s really not a big deal for House, though. I believe they will end up together, fighting and forgiving each other all the time. It´s like a fatal desease, starts little, unharmful, until it kills you.
    As Christopher Walker sings at “Hairspray” “It´s like a fatal desease, babe, there´s no cure, so let´s this fever rage.” xD
    *sorry any typing mistake*

    House and Cuddy would be a great couple…I was a Hameron fan at the begnning but now I’m totally not!!!I don’t even know why i was….Cuddy and House make each others everything!If that made any sense.I thought Cuddy was jealous when Stacy was there and I wished at one time that she would come back…But now I want House and Cuddy to be together so I don’t want her back!I’m sorry to say that but it is true…I just don’t know how House and Cuddy are going to get together…

  20. By Reina

    Thanks. I wasn’t really glad to see her go, honestly thought. I didn’t ship for anyone back then and really had very little feelings about who house should be with but I was kind of tired of her and her flat scenes with Hugh.
