Before recent seasons, I wouldn’t have even called them friends, more like work buddies that confide occasionally. I was really disappointed with how little support Cuddy gave Wilson during the Tritter horror. I know everything is about House, but how about offering him a ride to work or get him a car rental. Wilson had NO ONE during that time. What changed it for me was when they each let the other comfort each other. Wilson talking with Cuddy after House’s horrible ‘bad mother’ line and Cuddy hugging Wilson when Amber was dying. Actually, I think Cuddy not pushing Wilson to stay was also her being a friend, giving him the chance to walk away even if it might hurt her hospital. Mostly, I think they could be really close friends if House would let them. But that’s not going to happen. He's too selfish and they love him too much. :)
Good point about House getting in between them. He certainly showed his tendency when Wilson took Cuddy out to the play and the art exhibit.
(And, honestly, after the conspiring they did to make House "humble," if I was House I wouldn't even want them talking to each other, much less getting close. But TPTB hit the reset button on that, the way they seem to do on every major arc.)
