Article from Entertainment Tonight, behind the scenes of episode 3, with comments from HL.

"'I think House is trying to struggle with what he and Cuddy have in common, so he is desperately trying to find things that they'll both enjoy,' Edelstein tells ET. 'Sam and Wilson have come along. Sam is definitely on the House team of this-is-the-greatest-thing-she has-done-in-a-long-time. Wilson is more on the Cuddy team of this-could-be-a-big problem.'

...

"'The thing of it is, is House is trying too hard,' Laurie tells ET. 'He's trying too hard on the race track and he's trying too hard to make [the relationship] work and to give it long life, because what he fears...the truth is, what he fears is happiness. He convinces himself that happiness is something that has to be built out of things like this [points around him] when in actual fact -- I'm not the first to point this out -- happiness comes from within.'

"'This is not a character who is going to find happiness easily, if ever,' Laurie says. 'It is sort of doomed. He gives it a good run. I mean, his commitment is genuine and total. He is a bright man who can apply himself to all kinds of problems. He applies himself to a relationship as if it's a scientific problem and he gives it everything but it is ultimately doomed.'"
