As House fans await a long, hot summer without their favorite show, various members of the cast and crew have been hyping up season six.

For example, in separate interviews with E! News, producer David Shore and star Lisa Edelstein responded to a few questions from fans. Their responses shed light on what's to come on this Fox hit:

Shore, on new characters next season: "We don't have any plans on that. As we get closer to the end of the year we might, but I don't think we've mined everything we can with the six fellows we've had there."

Shore, on Cuddy understanding House's hallucination: "I think she does know. Actually, we had some discussion about it. I think him standing on the balcony, screaming out 'I slept with Lisa Cuddy!' [gave it away]."

Edelstein, on the future of Huddy: "I'm eager to see what they do with the House and Cuddy storyline. The baby is fine, but I don't think it's really about that. I'm sure it will be woven through, but it grounds her to have a child. I think it gives her more of a life than she had. But ultimately it's not about that, the show is not about that. The show is about the hospital and the inner relationships at the hospital."
