Life on Florida’s West Coast

The House Spinoff That’s Not a Spinoff

I was just watching house tonight and thinking about how much I love House’s new sidekick, private detective Lucas. Lucas is played by Michael Weston and he is breathing life into the show. He makes me realize how thoroughly depressing Robert Sean Leonard’s Dr. Wilson has become.

Amidst my hopes that Weston might stick around, I found some articles that show I’m almost tow months late on the news that House creator David Shore is creating an entire show around Weston’s character.

The new show won’t be a spinoff, in the true sense of the word. Rather, Shore is using House as a platform to launch the new show.

Either way, that’ exciting. I’ve seen Weston is his bit parts on Six Feet Under, Scrubs, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He actually has quite a lengthy filmography. He’s talented, compelling, and likable. I have high hopes for the new show.

Right now it looks like the Lucas character might be a new love interest for Dr. Cuddy.
