House star Lisa Edelstein has revealed that she is pleased with the way her character Lisa Cuddy has evolved.
The actress told Sky TV that Cuddy's new child and romance with House have helped to fill in her backstory.
"In the beginning of the series... she really served the purpose of blocking House from doing certain things, with the occasional witty back-and-forth or flirtation," explained Edelstein. "But eventually you have to fill in a character's life or the audience would be dissatisfied."
However, she denied that Cuddy had changed drastically over the medical drama's seven-year run.
"Characters don't actually change on television, they [just] reveal themselves," she claimed. "You can't change the character, because then you change the show. Instead, you can get to know [the character] better."
House continues on Mondays at 8/7c on Fox.
