Call it part of contract negotiation, or call it the beginning of the end.
But Robert Sean Leonard gives some conflicting answers his possible exit from House.
Here are some select quotes he gave to TV Line while plugging his Broadway appearance in a revival of Garson Kanin’s 1946 comedy, Born Yesterday:
“This is my last season of House. I’m shooting my last episode now. Contractually this is it. There’s also no deal for House next year because Comcast bought NBC Universal and no one has a deal. If I do House next year it’ll be under a new umbrella. But legally and contractually, I’m free after this [season]. So my wife [Gabriella Salick] and I were wondering how the summer looked and what we wanted to do. And I’ve never had enough time to do a play [while doing House] because our hiatuses are only about a month of maybe six weeks long,” he says.
“I assume they’ll make another year of House. And I assume I will do it. But I can’t say for sure. My wife and I are really strange people. We never spend any money. I got my first car when I got out here — a Jetta — and I’ve been driving it since the pilot. We haven’t spent much of the money we’ve made.”

House has lost some of its shine, but without ‘wilson’ it will suffer even more, still i like the show just not as much as i used too
RSL is the “Watson” to House’s “Holmes” (since the show is derived from the Sherlock Holmes premise), so who will they get to replace his role on the show?
It wouldn’t be the same without him.
I hope the show continues with all the cast.
Looks like he kind of feels the same way as Audra McDonald.
All I’ll say is please do another season (or 3) Robert! Being a massive fan of Dead Poets Society RSL was the reason I started watching House & if he left it wouldn’t be the same.
This show has jumped the shark a long time ago , it belongs in the Out House.
I think I read in an Ausiello blind item that a lead character was going to die on a medical show…and Grey’s Anatomy was ruled out in this week’s Ask Ausiello. Could be Wilson from House?
I didn’t realize House has not been renewed yet, hope it is and Robert is a part of it, I still like the show!
