Jennifer Morrison to Exit 'House': What Will Happen to Cameron?

'House''s Dr. Allison Cameron ended last season on a high note when she married boyfriend and longtime co-worker Dr. Chase.But if the latest rumors are true, it looks like Cameron's happiness may be short-lived. According to the Ausiello Files, actress Jennifer Morrison is exiting 'House' -- not, apparently, of her own accord, but as the result of a "creative decision." Her final episode, which was shot this week, will air sometime in November, leaving the fate of her character in question.
What we do know: This is not Kal Penn 2.0, meaning Dr. Cameron will live to see the end of her run (last season, Penn famously left the show for a position in the Obama administration; his character, Dr. Kutner, committed suicide). Hubby Dr. Chase (played by Jesse Spencer) will stay on staff, and there's a chance Morrison will return for a guest spot this season.

But what does this all mean for Cameron? We don't know for sure. But Morrison's exit opens the door for a number of possible scenarios -- and we took the liberty of making some up. Such as ..
