Начнём с мелочей, которые, конечно же, имеют случайный характер :

1. Вся серия 2х17 House vs God является большой и толстой аллюзией на роман Стивена Фрая "Гиппопотам".

2. Имена животных:
- крыс Стив МакКуин (по стечению обстоятельств, Steve McQueen, наряду с Клинтом Иствудом, является любимым актёром Лори);

- собака Гектор (ср. барон Гектор Юло из "Кузины Бетты").
Помнится, ptichka-sinichkа мои подозрения на сей счёт критиковала, однако:

- Jules из 1x11 Detox (ср. Jules Siviter из Spooks).

3. Саундтрек.
Предоставим слово г-же Katie Jacobs:
“[Hugh] is my secret weapon,” House executive producer and musical supervisor Katie Jacobs tells us, adding that she often asks Laurie to help select songs the show might potentially use. He’s even brought lesser-known artists to her attention... “House [the character] has many sides: he is dark and brooding, he’s funny, sexy, he’s an adult. There are so many ways to go with the music for the show. We do what feels right,” says Jacobs. She says that she and Laurie mostly see eye to eye when it comes to choosing music for the show, attempting to make choices that support the character or the story shying away from anything they jointly deem “too poppy.”

Еще Лори говорит на многих языках - это тоже, я уверена, сценаристы наклеили на Хауза уже после. Если они посмотрели "Полет Феникса", то там персонаж Лори говорит с "аборигенами"))))

"...And what is it he is caring about? His performance? “Everything, actually. I’m a pain in the arse. I meddle. I have ideas about how a thing ought to be played, the psychological details, the truth. Work is almost like a piece of music, and I’m a pain in the arse about music, too.”

"In House, I ask, how much acting is he doing? “Oh, a lot. I’m working quite hard. I’m conscious of the artifice with every gesture.” Why has the public taken this not very likeable character to its heart? “Oh, he is likeable, he’s just not good. But we don’t only like people because they’re good. He’s funny, honest, very good at what he does. I would like him if I met him, and I also feel absurd talking about a fictional character, so I’d better stop.” (прелесть какая)

"He says he has to act a lot to play Gregory House, not least because he assumes an American accent, but they “share certain characteristics”.

еще помнится деталь, правда не сценарная... кроссовки как обувь Хауза придумал именно Хью!
