Yipee!!!!! Bettina is back!!! Yes you can read and write - no problem. I just made the substitutions as I was reading reply. You wrote something that I think is fundamental to why the writers will never be able to sell a het ship to the majority of viewers
Upon looking at House's various relationships (be they romantic or friendly) throughout the series, it's downright indisputable that his relationship with Wilson is the most textured, the most nuanced, and most complex in the entire show. It has been through so much shit and back that I fail to see how TPTB are going to make any romantic interest as captivating as these two (even if they will never become anything more than friends).

The only way, the TPTB are going to be able to sell a het ship is if RSL leaves the show. But of course that means loss of almost half their viewers. I don't care if House and Wilson each screw six different Sallies each. The most important, interesting, hot, sexy, complicated, mysterious, engrossing relationship will always be the one between House and Wilson.

I really think there's something brewing on the H/W front. Wilson's response to the I love you shows that he is still hurting from the Tritter arc and really doesn't trust House. I think House's ILU was sincere. It reminds of the episode S2-SAFE. House told Wilson that he wanted him to stay but Wilson didn't believe him so House showed Wilson that he wanted him to stay by deleting the landlord messages from his phone. When Wilson confronted about it, recall what House said "wou wouldn't want to live WITH a liar".

So I'm thinking House is going to do something to prove to Wilson that he loves him with or without the drugs.
