"House" star Laurie in sudden return to U.K.


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Dr. House is making an unscheduled house call to his native England.

The production schedule on Fox's hit medical drama "House" had to be reshuffled Thursday after star Hugh Laurie told producers that he had to go back home, and promptly took an afternoon flight to London.

"Hugh had family obligations in England to attend to, but production is continuing in his absence," said a spokeswoman for Universal Media Studios, which produces the show.

Since the launch of "House" in 2004, Laurie has been separated from his wife and kids, who all still live in England.

A representative for the actor stressed that the trip had been cleared with the producers, and that Laurie is expected to be back at work Monday.


It is understood that the sudden departure is not related to salary negotiations. Last year, Laurie joined the ranks of the highest-paid actors on TV with a new deal that paid him more than $300,000 an episode. (A TV season consists of about two-dozen episodes.)

Hope everything is ok with his family.

Loved the House playing Charlie's Angels with his new recruits in this weeks episode.

People have family stuff that pops up. If he was really unhappy with the show, he would have left before starting this season. Don't Panic!

if you knew anything about Hugh Laurie you'd know he wasn't gay.

I always hear about him being sad cuz he's away from his family. But since he has such a big job in the US, why not just move the whole family?

I don't feel sympathy for him. He doesn't ~have~ to work on an American television show if he misses his family so much. Boohoo.

$7.2 million dollars is a lot of money to turn down. It would be hard to make that in jolly old England.

I love him, but I always feel that his wife will end up divorcing him or he'll snap one day, leave production and go back to England.

i doubt the divorce, they've been through a lot and are still going strong. snapping is far more likely.

I couldn't see House without him--I'd hate to see that end :( but it seems like his family could come over and visit as well.

aww Hugh! I hope everything is okay with his family.

BTW: How long do you think House will continue? I ADORE the show more than anything, but I give it another season, two max.

Same here. I don't think it's going to last long, not because of ratings of course, but because of Laurie's family issues.
