"House" Star Odette Annable Talks Pulling Double Duty with "Breaking In"

I caught up with Annable to talk pulling double duty on "Breaking In" (and wanting a crossover episode between the two shows) and whether or not she'd want her real-life husband, "Brothers & Sisters" alum Dave Annable, to come guest star.

How is "House" gonna work when "Breaking In" goes back into production?

That's going to be very challenging. Especially since last year, on "Breaking In", it was a new show and the hours on new shows are very challenging. We were working 15 or 16-hour days. So I don't know how it's going to work with "House" and doing both -- I'm going to be very, very busy -- but it's the best problem you could have.

I'm just lucky to be able to do a drama and a comedy on the same network. I'm flattered that Fox wanted me to do that, and that both sets of bosses are going to be able to work that out for me.

Maybe you should just do all crossover episodes to make your life easier!

I'd actually love to see one little wink and nod to the audience, in either show ...

I keep pitching that! I keep saying "Breaking In" should break into House's office, and then my character Melanie and my "House" character Adams could sort of take a look at each other and battle it off.

You fighting you? Every man (and woman) would tune in to see that!

Yeah, me fighting me, I love it.

I also feel like your husband, Dave Annable, needs to come play -- on either show.

Oh my gosh, he has to! I was able to come on "Brothers & Sisters" to play his love interest for a bit, so I know that [creator] Adam Goldberg adores him, and Dave's very good friends with Bret Harrison now, and everybody over at "Breaking In", so there is a good possibility that that could happen, which would be very cool.

And who knows? He can definitely come on "House" for a bit, too. We'll see ... it was challenging to work with him the first time, and so the second time, I don't know how that'll be. We'll probably be at each other's throats.

But hey, that's marriage! [Laughs]
