There will be more of Jennifer Morrison in the next season of “House M.D.”. Having brought back for an upcoming episode titled “Lockdown”, the actress who plays Dr. Allison Cameron told TV Guide magazine that she will still have a few more episodes down the lines since the writers have prepared a storyline for her character.

“There have been discussions of me doing a few episodes next year based on what they end up writing,” the 30-year-old gushed. “Contractually, they’ve guaranteed me a certain number of episodes next year – I think three or four, which means that they’re probably very much leaning toward writing a storyline for the character.”

Cameron has been seen walking out on her love interest, Jesse Spencer’s Robert Chase as well as her job at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital in the eighth episode of season 6, and has been missing from the series ever since. However, she will make her return on the April 12 episode which is directed by star Hugh Laurie.

Back in November 2009, Jennifer Morrison confessed that she doesn’t know whether her character will make a return to the FOX series. She, at the time, said “I really don’t know. All I know is that I don’t know. And they keep making it very clear to me that I don’t know. I feel bad [because I wish] that I had an answer for people. But, uh, anything could happen I guess. I’m still a series regular, technically.”

Here are the first details on House’s April 12 episode, which marks star Hugh Laurie’s directorial debut.

Costar Jesse Spencer, who plays Dr. Chase, tells me, “It involves four couples stuck in four rooms. It’s all heads talking.” Not just any talking heads, mind you. One of them will be Jennifer Morrison, who returns in this episode as the much-missed Dr. Cameron!

This may not entirely appease House fans frustrated by Cameron’s abrupt exit earlier this season, but it’s bound to help: Jennifer Morrison’s imminent comeback, she hints, should give her character, and viewers, closure.

“The audience is going to get the information they were looking for,” says the actress, who declined to confirm the exact length or timing of her return except to tease that it occurs during a ”really smart episode.”

As for the circumstances surrounding her surprising departure, Morrison is more forthcoming, eager to make it clear that the decision to leave was not hers. “I love the show, and I love [Cameron],” she insists. “Under no circumstances would I ever decide on my own to leave.”

So what happened? She recounts: Executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs “came to me as we were leading up to episode 8 — which is the episode where I left — and said, ‘This is where we see the show creatively going, and [we're writing you out].’ And they very generously said, ‘We wanted to let you know so you knew you were available for other things, should they be offered.’ As far as I knew, there was nothing more.”

Opportunity ended up knocking on Morrison’s door soon after: She was cast in the Broadway revival of The Miracle Worker. And “right around the same time, [Shore and Jacobs] had an idea to [bring] some resolution to Cameron’s storyline. So very generously as well, the play has accommodated my missing some rehearsal time to do the show.”

And what about the future beyond the play, which will run at least through the spring? Although Morrison remains contractually bound to House next season, “I don’t believe that they have plans to pick up my option,” she confesses. “That does not mean I won’t be back for a handful of episodes, but it does mean I probably will not be a series regular next season.”

Naturally, looking back on her six-year run is bittersweet for her. But more sweet than bitter, it seems. “[Working on House has] been the most incredible blessing I could ever imagine,” she says. It’s been the most incredible people to work with and the most incredible character. But I have to respect the producers’ ideas of where the story is going.”

No one will say exactly when or for how long Jennifer Morrison will be returning to House as Dr. Cameron, perhaps because they don’t yet know themselves. “You’ll see her before the end of this season, and next season we’ll figure out when this season is over,” says executive producer Katie Jacobs.

Jennifer, who wowed on the red carpet in a one of a kind gown by Puerto Rican designer Luis Antonio (a Christmas gift from her boyfriend), says news of her return so soon after her dismissal came as “a pleasant surprise. I totally understood when (the producers) let me know that they didn’t plan on continuing writing for my character, so if something else was offered I’d be available to do it. I have to look at this as everything happens for a reason. House will always be a home for me. I just want to be wherever I’m wanted and needed.”

Co-star Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Cuddy, couldn’t be happier. “I love Jennifer,” she says. “It was very hard to watch that happen to her so I’m very excited to see her come back.”

So where has Cam been and what brings her back? “She’s been practicing medicine at another hospital,” says Jacobs. “There are certain things that are unresolved with Chase (Jesse Spencer), so she comes back seeking some sort of resolution. Whether it’s good or bad I won’t say.”

Series creator David Shore warns fans, “There will be a different connection between her and Chase because of the absence.”

FOX confirmed Thursday (Jan. 14) that Jennifer Morrison (Cameron) will indeed be returning to “House” later this season, and though no details about when or why her character will come back have been released, there are a few rumors floating around.

Sources tell that Morrison may be on set as early as Friday and is scheduled to work through the weekend.

Word is, Cameron and her on-screen husband Chase (Jesse Spencer) will be featured heavily in the episode and that star Hugh Laurie is set to direct.

FOX wouldn’t confirm this bit of information, but if Morrison is in fact on set this week, she will definitely be following Mr. Laurie’s lead. Executive producer Katie Jacobs mentioned in an interview with me earlier this week that she had just come from a casting session for the hour Hugh is helming.

But what’s even more intriguing is the storyline the “House” writers have apparently concocted for Morrison’s “swan song.” I’m not saying we’ll never ever see Cameron again. I’m simply saying that it sounds as if this particular ep will make up for the hurried manner in which she exited the show earlier this season.

And I’ll leave it at that, because based on what I’ve been told, it is going to be a phenomenal, emotional, heartbreaking and beautiful hour of television. In other words, “House” at its best, and I don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone.

House: Fox confirms reports that Jennifer Morrison will appear on House again later this season. We asked House exec producer Katie Jacobs this weekend if J.Mo might be back any time soon, and she told us: “I can say that [Jennifer Morrison] might be back. She is doing a play. She asked if she could do this play, and she’s really excited about it, and we’re really excited for her…I would love to see her again, too.” Mission accomplished!

Question: When is House going to change its opening title sequence to add Olivia Wilde and Peter Jacobson? They’ve had the same opening since the beginning. —Anonymous
Ausiello: In spite of your funny name, or perhaps because of it, I asked exec producer Katie Jacobs for you. Her reply: “In season 4, people said, ‘Are you going to change the credits once you decide on who you are adding to the team?’ and I felt like it was awkward to switch in the middle of the season. I could have done it season 5. I certainly didn’t want to change anything [at the start of season 6] because we opened so differently. But now I am thinking about it. I think they should be part of it.” Olivia, Peter, you can send your thank-you notes directly to Anonymous.

Question: Please tell us something about Jennifer Morrison returning to House! —Amy
Ausiello: I should’ve seen it coming! Here’s what Omar Epps told us about JMo’s exit and possible comeback last week at the People’s Choice Awards: “I definitely miss her… I certainly didn’t see it coming. I don’t think anyone did. She is a great person and I’d gotten used to seeing her most days of the year. [But] she is not officially gone. It isn’t like they killed her off. And even if they had, we’ve already had a dead person come back with Amber. So there is still a possibility.” The clues were everywhere!

Jennifer Morrison is Broadway-bound.

A month after checking out of House, the actress has joined the forthcoming revival of William Gibson’s The Miracle Worker in the role of Helen Keller’s mother, Kate.

The play focuses on the relationship between a young Helen (played here by Abigail Breslin) and the teacher (In Treatment’s Alison Pill) who taught her to communicate.

Matthew Modine rounds out the all-star revival.

Morrison’s participation all but rules out a return to House later this season since Miracle Worker begins previews in February and runs at least through the spring.

Thoughts? Sad that this probably means we’ve seen the last of Cameron? Already planning a trip to New York to stage-door stalk see JMo make her Broadway debut? Sound off below!
