When it comes to intriguing medical- drama series, House is right up there with the likes of Grey’s Anatomy. We all know how good Greys’ anatomy doctors are, but one sure thing is that when it comes to diagnosticians, the doctors at House take the crown. One of those highly acclaimed doctors is Jennifer Morrison, who plays the role of Dr. Allison Cameroon, an Immunologist.

Reasons Why Morrison Left House
News of Jennifer Morrison’s departure from House may have caught her off-guard as it did us all. While speaking at a Star Trek DVD launch party, she revealed she found the situation confusing as no one had yet to communicate with her. Her exact words were, “I don’t know anything about anything.” She revealed that she was still getting paid till the end of the season, oh how I would enjoy getting my money while sitting at home!
The official story reads that she was written off because the producers lacked material for her character. It was, therefore, a part of the creative decision made by the producers to let her go. David Shore, one of the showrunners, said they had reached the end when it came to new possible material for the Dr. Allison Cameroon.
