Huh. Our mini-Boston-H/W-Tues-Night-Party just called him "Riley," too.
I've kind of just accepted the fact the non-canonness of H/W, so I make the best of whatever I see and then make my merry way over here after the show to enjoy my OTP. Is that sad?
Also, since the show is written by a variety of people, Wilson's character is ALL OVER THE PLACE. None of the writers seem to know what to do with him, so we've seen a couple asyncronic (is that a word? nm) different sides to him that just don't match up. Moral and upstanding, sex with a patient. Merry and flippant, angry and sad. His own life rarely comes into play while most of his emotions are based on House's goings-on: House gets him upset so he's sad, he enjoys House's company so he's happy--does he even have a personality?
I agree that he REALLY needs to have a breakdown or a huge scandal (not just one patient he screws and nobody ever finds out about; something monumental; I wonder if his affair will come back to haunt him in the show?) If they don't do something soon, the first real insight will be when his brother turns up, and I just know they're going to handle it poorly if they don't build his character a little more.
