"Hugh Laurie has discussed the upcoming episode of House, which he directed. The show&amp;#039;s next episode &amp;#039;The C Word&amp;#039; is the second Laurie has helmed, and the actor spoke to TVLine recently about his return to the chair.   &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s absolutely thrilling, but it is a load, it is a responsibility. You have this vast machine of about 250 people, 250 working parts, and they&amp;#039;re all looking for answers and direction and purpose,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I suppose it should make me more sympathetic to other directors, but it probably won&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot; Laurie teased that the structure of the episode is &amp;quot;unusual&amp;quot;, with two separate stories happening in parallel, one within the show&amp;#039;s normal setting and the other &amp;quot;away from the hospital, between [House] and Wilson&amp;quot;.  In the most recent episode, Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) revealed to House (Laurie) that he has stage 2 cancer, and the next instalment will see the pair react to his diagnosis.  &amp;quot;This episode I&amp;#039;ve been given contains an immensely powerful storyline for the character of Wilson,&amp;quot; Laurie commented. &amp;quot;I feel a tremendous responsibility to do him justice, to do Robert as an actor justice, and also the character.&amp;quot;      He went on to joke about his fellow actors&amp;#039; reaction to his direction, saying: &amp;quot;I realise it must be a bit odd for them. &amp;quot;Whether or not they go out round the back and start bitching about me as soon as my back&amp;#039;s turned, I don&amp;#039;t know. &amp;quot;If they are, they&amp;#039;re hiding it well, and that&amp;#039;s all I ask. Just hide it well.&amp;quot; Laurie recently suggested that fans will have a reason to &amp;quot;be happy for House&amp;quot; in the upcoming episodes.  House airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Fox. The series finale will air on May 21. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
