FOX didn't decide to cut him [Kutner] off the show.

Kutner, Kal Penn, actually had a life and plans.

Read this from CNN (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/07/actor-kal-penn-joining-the-obama-administration/ ):

-
Actor and longtime Obama supporter Kal Penn is joining the Obama administration, the White House confirmed to CNN Tuesday.

The actor will be part of the White House Office of Public Liaison, which is run by Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. Penn will be primarily involved in dealing with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and the arts community.

This was a huge effect and obviously Kal Penn had told FOX writers/producers that he would join the White House Staff.

This basically gave the writers time to write the plot as to kill off Kutner and put an end to him. Now, I wish they had sent him off to India or something, but this event will, and I say it loudly,
WILL
have an effect on House's character and the rest of the Diagnosis team and other important characters like Chase and Cameron and Cuddy.

Now, they obviously chose to kill Kutner to help with certain aspects for the FUTURE. They wouldn't kill him just to kill him and not have him like, move to India or something because it has to do with the build-up of the Plot of HOUSE

I am suspecting it might contribute to the Huddy/ Couse theory, making them grow closer in the time of grief or whatnot, but hey, anything can and will happen.

Just sit back, relax, and get thrown back into the most awesomest show on Earth.

Katie Jacobs said his death was not because Kal Penn had to leave - it was a creative decision.

My first question was also, is the real life actor OK, but i think it would be tacky to let him die like that if he had died or gotten sick in real life.

As for why, I do not think that the second team, Taub, Kutner and 13 have as much chemestry, or charasma, as the first team. Chase, Cameron and Foreman were much more interesting. attractive, and better developed characters. IMO keeping Foreman on the team, and showing Chase and Cameron every now and then is all that is saving the show. Well that and House himself.

If I were writing the plot, Taub could go to some third world country with some missionaries, and treat seriously disfigured patients, He could be in contact with the cast, but not there all the time. 13 could stick around, like Cameron is now, and the old team should come back. I think the idea of Kutner as a Ghost was a very good idea as well.

I would like to stress that the shortcomings of the new three characters are not the fault of the actors. It is the writers who have given them no personalities, or else weird personalities. 13 is developing, a bit, but her character is still quirky and kind of unpredictable, as if the writers can't decide for sure who she is. Taub is much less developed. All we really know about him, could be written on an index card with room to spare.

13 is OK, but so far she is designed as a substitute for Cameron. No one can make a role work, as a substitute for another character. It isn't fair. Kutner...I knew it was a death nail for him, no pun intended when 13 chose to have a relationship with Foreman, rather than Kutner. That would have given Kutner an opportunity to develop as a character. Kutner's role never really developed. It was very unclear who he was, or what his inner feelings and motivations were. He is a good actor, but they gave him no real acting to do. His character was a sweet, quiet man. There was no depth to work with.
