As the fifth season of House winds down, Michael Ausiello answers a pressing reader question this week:

Are House and Cuddy still scheduled to have sex?!?

Yes, confirms producers Katie Jacobs and David Shore. Here's exactly what they told the TV columnist about the planned, sex-based storyline:

Jacobs: We have definitely figured how the act will play out. And true to vibe of the show and the characters and thanks to David Shore's wonderfully creative twists and turns, it won't be what you expect. We have to be careful about making moves like that. We do not want to disappoint fans and just do something out of left field."

Shore: Yes we have figured out the details surrounding Huddy having sex. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for fans of Huddy hoping for a hookup. It definitely won't be what people expect. We have to do things our way, the House way. We wouldn't want to have the characters do anything out of character.
