According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Lisa Edelstein won't be returning to House before the series finale, which will air May 21st and will be preceded by an hour-long retrospective special looking back on the shows eight-year run. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on why Lisa Edelstein won't be returning to House:
Over the summer, series creator David Shore told TVLine that he would “love” for Hugh Laurie’s former leading lady to put in another appearance before the final curtain drops and bring closure to Huddy. Edelstein, however, didn’t seem nearly as bullish on the prospect, telling TVLine in August, “I haven’t talked to anyone over there so it would seem unlikely. Who knows what I’ll be doing. I have a lot on my plate. I wouldn’t want to answer that and get anyone’s hopes up. It doesn’t seem like that’s the direction anyone is going in.”
It’s unclear why Edelstein’s comeback failed to materialize — for instance, was she actually asked back? And, if so, did negotiations end before they began? Reps for Fox and Edelstein declined to comment.

My thoughts: I have to say that I'm really disappointed that Lisa Edelstein won't be returning for at least one episode before House ends. After all, she starred on the show for seven years. I hope it's not because the producers didn't even bother to approach Lisa about making an appearance on the show before House ends in May. That would just beyond idiotic to me if that's the case.
