Is House really bringing back Anne Dudek in the role of Cutthroat Bitch/Amber?

The producers have teased this unusual, ghostly return - and now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the character will, indeed, make another appearance on the show; though columnist Michael Ausiello says House is the only one who sees her.

As for next week's special episode, look for Meat Loaf to guest star as a husband that's been suffering from a terminal illness.

His wife has dedicated her life to taking care of her man... until she becomes sick and might actually die before her husband does. That would be ironic.
