With everything on the line, Cuddy forges a prescription record and perjures herself to make it appear that House stole nothing but a placebo. Shortly after becoming Dean of Medicine, Cuddy was approached by House once again. He had recently been fired from yet another job - the fourth time. Her official explanation is that House "came cheap" (i.e. she didn't have to pay him much). However, there has been a great deal of speculation as to why she did hire him. She has also carefully avoided questions about why she hasn't fired him, except to constantly describe House as "the best doctor we've got".
Early life
She confronted House about his Vicodin use and broke up with him. Once again, Cuddy risks her career by playing chicken with the hospital's largest insurance company Atlantic Net. When they offer her a 4 percent across-the-board increase for procedures, she demands 12 percent and threatens to cut off their contract. They come back with 8 percent, but she still holds out and, when the deadline passes, she announces the contract is over. With no response, she is willing to admit defeat and go to the board to resign when the insurance company rep comes back with a new contract agreeing to the full increase.
Lisa Cuddy
She was the Dean of Medicine and Chief Hospital Administrator of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital from Season 1 to Season 7. She's a specialist in endocrinology, but when she was in charge at PPTH, her administrative duties took precedence over her role as a medical practitioner. Lucas Douglas, who likes Cuddy himself, certainly thinks House is romantically interested in Cuddy, as he saw no other reason for House's attempt to get Cuddy to reveal something about herself to Lucas.
The Series
When the mother dies and the father and grandparents don't want the child, Cuddy becomes a foster parent for her and names her Rachel. Although she finds it difficult to become attached to the child, it finally happens and she decides to adopt her. At the end of the episode Top Secret, there were additional but non-explicit clues. House remembers where he had seen the patient before - making out with Cuddy at a hospital fundraiser. Cuddy says the only reason why House had remembered him (he never remembers anyone) is because he was making out with Cuddy. She intimates House wanted her himself (she made the same observation in Insensitive).
She also comes from a long line of physicians - her great grandfather published a key medical text. We also know that she has also wanted to be a doctor ever since she was 12 years old. She often felt her mother treated her more harshly than her younger sister, but later came to believe that her mother only pushed her knowing that she was capable of great things. The only other salient fact about her early life is that she admitted to Wilson (who later told House) that she once slept with her father's best friend. Their history together is not as clear, but here is what is known for sure.

After a tumultuous stab at a mature relationship in Season 7, Cuddy dumps House after a cancer scare which House cannot bring himself to confront without the aid of his old friend Vicodin. Cuddy realizes that House is not and probably never will be ready for a real relationship and ends it. Based on Cuddy's assertion that she wants House arrested if he ever comes near her again after this incident, it may be safely assumed that the final nail has been driven into the lid of the Huddy coffin.
Actress
In the episode Moving On, House drove his car into Cuddy's house, permenantly ending their relationship. After this episode, there was no reference to Cuddy having contact with House for the remainder of the series. In Season 6, Epic Fail, Cuddy seemed surprised and a bit saddened when House came back to tell her he was quitting.

Characterization
Cameron suggests to House that instead they propose an across- the-board salary cut that will save exactly the same amount of money. When House proposes this, Vogler rejects the suggestion outright, and Cuddy soon realizes that Vogler isn't trying to save money, he's trying to get House in line. House tries to mollify Vogler by offering up Robert Chase, but unbeknownst to anyone, Chase is Vogler's only "rat" in House's department as Cameron and Foreman turn him down flat. It's mentioned in many parts of the show that she wants a child. Although not in a relationship at the time, she attempts IVF with three unsuccessful implantations, one ending in miscarriage.
Character Played By
Cuddy once again offers him a good job if he comes back, but Foreman turns her down flat. However, when Foreman finds out he's unemployable, he agrees to Cuddy's conditions, but she withdraws her offer and instead insists Foreman return at his old salary and stay on House's team to keep an eye on him. Behind House's back, Cuddy hired Cameron to be the senior attending physician in the emergency room. She also learns that Chase wants to be close to Cameron, despite the fact he has other options available.
Throughout Season 6, Cuddy is busy with her adopted daughter and is in a relationship with a private investigator, Lucas, who was hired by House to spy on Wilson at the start of Season 5. She cared for House after he goes through rehab for Vicodin. After sensing romantic feelings from House, Cuddy tells House that she would like to be friends; but he refuses, quoting that is the "last thing he wants".
In the Season 6 finale "Help Me", House gives Cuddy an antique medical text written by her great-grandfather, which prompts her to confess that she and Lucas were engaged. Cuddy, House and House's team go to Trenton to help victims where a crane collapsed on a building. House finds a woman named Hanna who is trapped under a mountain of rubble. The first responders and Cuddy both tell House that Hanna's leg needs to be amputated for a chance of survival. Cuddy claims that the reason why he is refusing is because he is bitter over her engagement and what he went through with his leg years ago.
