TV is giving us many reasons to look forward to 2010:

• The season six premiere of Lost;
• The likely series finale of Heroes;
• The return of The Vampire Diaries.

Now, viewers have another reason to set their DVR: on February 8, Fox will air a Cuddy-themed episode of House. Dr. Lisa Cuddy herself (Lisa Edelstein) spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming installment...

On a day in the life of her character: What’s interesting about it is it lets you know what her world is like when you don’t see her. When House does what he does. You see everything she has to deal with, and you get a better understanding of where she’s coming from.

On the episode, outside the office: There’s some sexual activity, there’s some partial nudity…  The writer, Tommy Moran, said he couldn’t imagine writing an episode without having me take a shower.

On Cuddy and Lucas: You know, we all have to go through things that we have to go through in life. And I think Cuddy is trying to explore having a relationship that would be considered normal. I myself have done this. It doesn’t work. But you have to try.

On the future of Huddy: Their timing just really sucks. As soon as he was emotionally prepared to give [a relationship] a shot, she kind of gave up. But I’m rooting for them.
