I was just reminding myself of some of Wilson's history for some writing I was doing and referred to his bio on the House Wikia page (link above.)
I noted it mentioned his early life and his parents:
Wilson was born in New Jersey to Henry and Sophie (nee Krugman) Wilson. Wilson's father is Protestant and his mother is Jewish. Due to the mixed religions the family never seriously practiced one religion or another, although Wilson is recognized as being Jewish (as Judaism recognizes the religion passing down the mother's line, not the father's). From the time Wilson was born until he was ten his father Henry was a woodshop teacher that did oddjobs for extra money, Sophie was a nurse.
Is this stuff true or has it just been invented by the writer of the page? It was never mentioned in the series (as far as I remember!) and i don't recall any official releases about Wilson's history!
Can anyone elighten me?

Date: 2015-11-08 10:39 am (UTC)I get so wound up by what they did to Wilson in the last few seasons. They stopped thinking about him at all. He just became the comic relief for the show. They also changed him in a lot of ways. (I mean why was House giving a reluctant James 'DHA' Wilson dating advice in S7?! I know House just wanted Wilson to be happy and move on but he wrote Wilson as practically virginal with no clue about dating/flirting!)
But yes, I wouldn't want to be Wilson. I think that's a very dark place to be :-(
