Jennifer Morrison played Allison Cameron, one of House’s original diagnostic-team colleagues.
Cameron is an immunologist and physician who joins House’s first diagnostic team at Princeton-Plainsboro. She is often characterized as compassionate and idealistic, qualities that contrast with House’s cynicism and willingness to take risks. Her medical judgment, personal history, and relationship with Chase become recurring parts of the show.
The original diagnostic team also included Eric Foreman and Robert Chase. The group changes as the series progresses, so Cameron’s role is especially associated with the early seasons rather than with every later configuration of House’s department. Her relationship with House is complicated by his interest in her character and by disagreements over medical ethics.
Allison Cameron is a fictional doctor, while Jennifer Morrison is the actor who portrays her. Cameron should not be confused with Lisa Cuddy, the hospital administrator played by Lisa Edelstein, or Amber Volakis, a later applicant to House’s team played by Anne Dudek.
