If you thought being away from the hospital would stop our favorite doc from saving lives and solving puzzles, you apparently don’t know Dr.Gregory House.

According to TVLine, actress Odette Annable (who will be playing infirmary doctor Jessica Adams) talked about her character getting closer to House as he serves his time.

“House is definitely his nosy self, getting into business that he probably shouldn’t be getting into,” teases new cast member Odette Annable, who will be playing prison infirmary staffer Dr. Jessica Adams. With House cracking cases while incarcerated, he and Adams “have a connection, and end up helping each other,” adds the actress. In fact, by the end of the season opener, “She discovers that she’s more like House than she realizes!”

Huh. David Shore mentioned that they wanted to get House back to Princeton-Plainsboro as soon as possible (especially since the beginning of this season takes place a full year after last season’s finale). Will House still be behind bars by the end of the first episode? How long will he remain there before we get back into the hospital?
