I think House can pull it off regardless of the direction they go (whether they bump uglies or not).
<minor spoilers> When the character of Vogel came onboard, and he and Dr. House were clashing, my wife said, "you know the resolution is that Vogel's going to get sick and House is going to cure him." I thought, "nah...too 'formulaic'". (then i thought, "hmm...is formulaic a word?"). Anyway, the last Vogel episode opened with House telling Vogel that he had some sort of cancer and blah blah...during the conversation my wife turned and said, "see, toldja". I said, "i don't buy it." Sure enough, the conversation between Vogel and House turned to House saying that he was going to buy Vogel a piano-sized coffin (or words to that effect), and it became clear that this was a dream sequence. </minor spoilers> It was almost as if the writers said, "we know what you -think- we're going to do...but not only are we -not- going to do that...we're going to dangle it in front of your noses first to make you think that we're going to do that even though we're not." So based not only on that...but on the consistency and quality of the writing since episode 1...I'm going to guess show a bit of faith in these folks and assume that they know what they're doing and that I'm safe in their capable hands. Oh, and I'd also just like to point out that I WAS RIGHT AND MY WIFE WAS WRONG!
