However, of the forty “applicants” for the open fellowship positions, fewer than half had speaking roles in The Right Stuff and in reality only six actors had a real shot at staying on. In fact, the process to do this was almost as chaotic as the process House set up himself. The plan was to hire three new cast members to fill the team. Cameron moved to the emergency room and started a relationship with Chase, who moved to the surgical department in an attempt to become board certified.

Foreman, who initially tried to move on, instead wound up as a supervising fellow over the new hires. However, none of the cast members left at this point, they just filled different roles. In the Season 1 episode DNR, Foreman admits that he is on a three year contract, which would have ended at about the end of Season 3. Apparently, the producers felt the show needed a cast shake up and, to be fair, the character House noted in Alone that it was strange for him to have had exactly the same staff for three straight years. In the finale of the previous series, House’s entire team of fellows was fired or quit, leaving him without a staff. Season 4 was a sharp departure from Season 3. Season Four was released on DVD in region 2 on the 27th October 2008.Īccording to Variety magazine, FOX Broadcasting made an early decision in February 2007 to renew House for a fourth season.

Each of the four departed the show after elimination, except for Volakis, who remained recurring until the finale, having started a relationship with Wilson.įor this season, Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer had a reduced number of appearances, though they continued to be main characters.

Meanwhile, Amber begins a relationship with Wilson. Foreman rejoins the team after his dismissal from another hospital. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley ( Olivia Wilde) as his new team. Dr. Having previously fired Chase, and with Foreman and Cameron quitting, House starts a competition between forty applicants for the vacant positions. He eventually narrows them down to seven, firing one each episode. In the episode 'Games', he fires Amber 'Cutthroat Bitch' Volakis ( Anne Dudek), hiring Dr.
