Following a guest-starring stint that received mixed reviews (and rumors of his own spin-off), Michael Weston will reprise his role on House this season as private eye Lucas Douglas.

Last fall, House hired Douglas - who turned out to be quite similar to the honest cranky doctor we all know and love - to trail around Wilson. He appeared in multiple episodes and then pretty much vanished.

But Michael Ausiello confirms Weston's return to the series this season, though plot details are unknown at this time.

Meanwhile, Hugh Laurie told E! News that season six will also feature a lot of nudity. Seriously. Or not seriously. It's hard to tell when he speaks in a British accent...
