A blog on Dr. Allison Cameron
Addressing whether the writers know who this person is.
Those of us that watch House, are starting to wonder where the writers seem to be going with Dr. Cameron. Allison Cameron can't seem to decide if she's over House or if she still harbors lustful thoughts that could lead to bigger and definitely more interesting things. Last seasons fling with Dr. Chase showed that while Cameron has a mild interest in Chase, she obviously thinks very little about his feelings and sees him as an object. And while this event should have made us hate her, you can't help but love the fact that House was disturbed by her betrayal and if she didn't know that it would bother him. So are the writers trying to make her more lovable or less?
Yes one could say that she's flaky and insecure, but this is true with most doctors (The God complex, need I say more). But these negative attributes make you wonder what's going on underneath. Could it be that her husbands death was just one more thing that added damage to her psyche or are there more interesting things yet to be discovered. I guess we will have to wait and see. So in short, I think the writers are attempting to make these characters so obscure that when you learn things about them, it makes you feel that much more compelled to keep watching.

I actually don't think that Cameron sees Chase as an object. I think she saw that *he* is capable of seeing *her* as an object (consistent with his reaction toward her in "Occam's Razor"). When Cameron deteriorated in "Hunting," her knowledge of this fact came into play. She needed someone, even if it was in a way harmful to herself. And she knew Chase would deliver.
If anything, this episode made me dislike Chase. By having sex with Cameron when he knew she was not alert, he basically raped her. He took advantage of her neediness.
