I read somewhere, Jessica, that it was a temporary thing, until the baby is written out of Cuddy's life.
Ausiello says Cameron will be taking Cuddy's job on House.
A terminator is going to be House's boss? COMEDY GOLD!!!
Signed,
Someone who wanted Kurtwood Smith to call Omar Epps "dumbass" during his episode.

Oh, how I wish!
On "Seven Pounds," apparently the thing that gets revealed at the end is the fact that he was responsible for a car accident that killed seven people (including his wife), which is why he's going to kill himself to donate the organs to the "worthy" people.
And he kills himself with jellyfish!
Does he teach Rosario Dawson how to live and love before doing so? That was the definite impression I got from the advance advertising.
Jessica,
are you joking, or are you serious?
Nope, that's the end of the film. When I was at the press screening for the movie a few weeks back, you could sort of feel the room take a collective gasp when that scene happened, because it was just so damn bizarre.
Here's how things fall more or less for the curious (I can spill details since I'm no longer under embargo): Smith's character did kill seven people (including his wife) in a car accident he caused. After that he made a suicide pact with a friend that they would find seven people he could help before he offed himself. Some of these people get his organs--Woody Harrelson, who plays a blind man, will get his eyes; Rosario Dawson, who has a heart defect, will get his heart--but others get things like his house or his money (before the accident, he was a wealthy engineer). Before he gives them their "gift" he has to make sure they're good people, so he comes up with ways to get to know them, mainly by impersonating an IRS officer. The eye and heart folks are the last of the seven because obviously Smith will have to be dead first. He almost gives up on the plan when he gets to know Dawson and falls in love with her. But he ultimately decides to go through with it because her rare blood type means finding another matching donor will be next to impossible.
Cut to the cheap motel where he's been staying with a rare and deadly type of jellyfish--the same kind he used to admire with his father on their weekend trips to the aquarium during his childhood: he fills up the bathtub with cold water and ice, climbs inside and puts the jellyfish inside the tub with him. He's stung to death and dies. Rosario gets the heart and Woody gets the eyes. Months later, both of them meet for the first time and shed a tear over the man that saved their lives.
It's a ludicrous story, but believe it or not, the film kinda works. Mainly because the romance between Smith and Dawson is actually believable. The jellyfish bit is extremely silly and there are other elements that fail miserably, but those two actors give the movie a surprising emotional heft considering how ridiculous things get.
