Great update! I really think you captured well that Forman is a very selfish person.
When Cam and Chase argued over her dead husband's sperm, he talked about Cam like she was a crazy person and questioned why would Chase want to be stuck with her. I just wanted to yell at the screen - She saved your life,moron!
Can't wait for the next update

Foreman has pretty much always been like that with Cameron, and she was pretty much always friendly with him so I think he takes it for granted. Cameron's ambitions were always somewhat opposed to Foreman's, although they both showed that they were interested in advancing their careers. He never really understood Chase/Cameron's relationship, even late into S3, he still assumed that Chase was in the driver's seat.

I can see Foreman being at a complete loss about why Cameron wouldn't answer his calls because I'm he could fool himself into thinking that he didn't really do anything wrong: telling her to talk to Chase when he knew what the issue was probably didn't seem like a lie or a breach of trust in his mind.

You captured Foreman perfectly. He is a self-important jerk who is only concerned with outward appearances who will do whatever he has to do to get ahead, even if it means screwing over people who should matter to him.

I can't wait to see him meet up with Cameron. That will be interesting.

Even when the relationship was almost completely rent, like during the SDL-Eu arc, or in S4, they all still had amazing chemistry with each other (Living the Dream comes to mind). I don't dislike any of the new actors, for the new team (I don't think OW is up to snuff but it isn't like she is awful) but the first team had such great chemistry with each other and you can't just reproduce that.

I appreciate your kind words :-)

I was actually laughing at the stuff with Foreman in the beginning. I can just see him in his office of fake Picasso and Ikea chairs trying to act all superior. And only he would consider it begging to make a deal with Cuddy. And him telling himself how better he is s a doctor than Cameron...lol.

Things are getting really intense now. I'm nervous to find out how this is going to go. It doesn't seem like it will go well!

I actually really like Failure!Foreman of S4-5-6? Before that, I always felt like he got kudos and accolades that he didn't really deserve; it never made since for House or Cuddy to think that he was better than Chase or Cameron, because we were watching every case he worked on and he wasn't better than they were, clearly wasn't more successful. I think Cameron was meant to be the junior member of the team, skill wise, the one who maybe wasn't as comfortable in that environment, and even she edged him out as far as cases were concerned (if you go by who actually found cases for them to work on, Cameron is right up there with Chase but most of the tallies I've seen have Chase way ahead, I don't completely buy that because Cameron brought so many cases to the team, and all of them were interesting and I think you have to give her props for that, even though Chase had the most ideas. Although in S3, I think Cameron actually had more correct diagnoses, I could be wrong ( ... )

I agree. He was definitely the most experienced, but they should have figured out before they did that he was sucking every time he took control of the team. He obviously thinks very highly of himself, but I'm glad that not everyone agrees anymore.

I think Chase had the most great ideas, Cameron second, and Foreman third. It seems to me that Foreman was always going against House with the wrong diagnosis.

I'm taking a lot of pleasure in seeing Foreman in this position where he's trying to build himself up as this amazing doctor with all these great things, but it's all a mask. Sooner or later it'll give out on him. I'm enjoying the anticipation.

Your Foreman is perfect! Can't wait to read more!

Thanks! I appreciate it. I sometimes really like watching Foreman in the earlier Seasons, trying to hold his professional and personal image together under House's scrutiny.
