The house storyline that always bothers me gets even weirder on a rewatch

House had his Fair share of ridiculous storylines over the course of its eight-season run, But after rewatching the show, it’s clear to me which one is the worst. The Fox medical drama television series, created by David Shore, stars Hugh Laurie as the eponymous character, Dr. Gregory House, the narcissistic and cynical head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. House leads a team of diagnosticians, which primarily includes Drs Robert Chase, Dr. Allison Cameron, and Dr. Eric Forman. They come together every episode to diagnose patients with mysterious illnesses.

Except Houses many memorable cases, The Fox TV show is also known for its various complex relationships, Both platonic and romantic. I would argue that the dynamic between House and his best friend, Dr. James Wilson, is the most important relationship in House As it is unwavering and stands the test of time (unlike some of the other couples in the series). But, though House Contains many healthy and exciting relationships, it also includes one that is better off being forgotten.

House and Cameron’s potential relationship was one of House’s worst storylines

The romance between House and Cameron is never believable or likable

Even when watching House For the first time, I can see that the House/Cameron duo is not a good idea. A rewatch only confirmed this belief and made me even more wired out by their potential (one-sided) relationship. The writers should never have introduced the storyline like that Lacks the quality of the medical drama and feels forced. When House and Cameron (who share a large age gap) are on screen, second-guessing ensues, driving one to look away or fast-forward through the cringe-worthy scenes.

It is safe to say that House and Cameron are not one of the best couples in House. Cameron is the one who practically begs House to love her throughout the series, while House keeps her at a distance because he can’t see her in a romantic light. Their dynamic is completely one-sided, and Cameron’s love isn’t even real (in my opinion). As a result, House and Cameron’s will-they-will-they-they relationship is easily one of House‘s worst plot.

Cameron Licking House gets even worse on a rewatch

The show paints Cameron in a negative light

Jennifer Morrison’s Cameron certainly never tops anyone’s list of best House Letters. Cameron is quite unlikely in the Fox medical drama, in part due to her unrelenting nature about her crush on House. She can never take no for an answer, and it’s pathetic to see her consistently follow House. Cameron’s fixation on House is that she believes she can fix him, And he doesn’t want to change. Consequently, Cameron falls in love with the idea of ​​the house, which results in a cringe-worthy storyline. The power dynamic between House and Cameron as boss and subordinate also makes their relationship quite uncomfortable to watch.

When rewatching all eight seasons of HouseThe House/Cameron storyline is also frustrating because the writers try to sweep it under the rug. Perhaps they recognized their mistake in forcing their potential relationship on viewers and quickly pivoted. House Suddenly the plot revolves around Cameron’s crush on House and brings Cameron and Chase (who have much better chemistry) together instead. Given the time, it’s weird to think that Cameron ever wanted to date her boss. But try as they might, the writers can’t pull off this weird storyline.

I’m glad House and Cameron never became a thing in House

House and Cameron’s relationship would have been a disaster

Even though I don’t look back on Cameron’s unrequited love for House with any sense of fondness, This terrible House Storyline could have been much worse. Thankfully, House never gave in to Cameron’s pursuits over Houses episodes. They go on a date once (because Cameron essentially coers the house into it), but it never leads to anything, which is the best choice for both characters.

It wouldn’t make sense if House eventually grew to love Cameron on the Fox medical drama. She was never his type, and you could see it The two letters are not compatible from a mile away, and their romance would have crashed and burned (just like Chase and Cameron’s marriage in House). Despite the upside to the House/Cameron storyline, it’s still arguably one of the worst things to ever happen in House.
