Hugh Leaves House?

Looks like Hugh Laurie left the set with little notice on Thursday! Rumors immediately started flying that he was unhappy with the producers or the script, but his representative was quick to tell the press that Hugh was going nowhere.
“He’ll be back on the set on Monday,” she said.
So why would Hugh leave in the middle of filming so suddenly?
“Hugh had family obligations in England to attend to, but production is continuing in his absence.” A representative for the show said. He also replied that Hugh, “asked for time off and they were happy to facilitate it.”
A family emergency? Let me first say that I hope his wife and children are all right. Hugh has a well-publicised history of dealing with depression, and I hope that his return to England has nothing to do with a recurrance of that difficult condition. Hugh, your fans hope that everything is okay and we send you our support!!
Thanks NW for the tip!

I hope there are no marriage problems.

Can’t he take a few days off without people wondering what’s wrong? Of course there are marriage problems. Of course he has a life. So what? It’s probably nothing to do with depression either. He’s human. He’s a private man. Why does this even need to be talked about? Leave him alone.

Then why are you even reading this blog? That’s what people who read fan blogs do - talk about their favorite stars.

Oh come on, every marriage has problems! He just probably wanted to be with his family.

Instead of arguing, why don’t we all say a prayer for Hugh and his family???

Good idea, Grace.

D is right! Leave him alone… Hugh, do what you want, is your life! we love you and we want the best for you and your family!

If he’d wanted people poking their noses in to his life, he’d have given his publicist something more substantial than “family obligations” to tell the media. He doesn’t want us to know why he left!! He hates that people have to know his whereabouts every second of every day. If he had his way, he’d just disappear forever, and so would we! lol That being said, talk away. It is a free country.

Carol, why do you hope there are no marriage problems? Do you think he’s beyond having the same problems the rest of the world have to deal with? Would it really matter to you? I’m genuinely just curious if it would alter your opinion of him if you found out that his marriage wasn’t a happy one. I’m not trying to be mean, honestly. I’ve noticed a lot of people who are “very concerned” about Hugh’s private life, and it always makes me giggle. Some even go a step further, during a run of recent…*ahem*…rumors, and say that they didn’t think they’d watch House any more if Hugh was being naughty. It’s just riduculous. Bleh. I’ll shut up now.

D, I have read that there may be marital problems - that’s why I mentioned it. I hope that’s not true. Even he has said that his situation has put a strain on his personal life. No, it wouldn’t change my opinion of him. Geez, I’m sorry I said anything! I hope and pray all is well with Mr. Laurie.

And if all of you are so concerned about Mr. Laurie’s privacy, then you shouldn’t be reading a blog that reports on him and his personal life!

This blog is nothing compared to what I already know about Hugh Laurie. I wasn’t critisizing you, Carol, really. I was just curious.

Can you share with us what you know about Hugh, D?
