Has House (or other main characters) Changed?

One of House's mottos, and David Shore's themes, is that "people don't change". Yet for some of us, there is some compelling evidence that this may not be true.[Poll #1821759]

That is an excellent point. I hadn't given Chase a lot of thought, but you are right.

I think they erred in giving him such a sad backstory, because now fans claim an excuse for every flaw. When any other character (except House for some people) displays less than perfect opinions or behaviour, it's because s/he is an imperfect person. When Chase does, his fans argue it's because his father abandoned him and his mother drank herself to death. Nothing he says or does is ever his fault.
