Emily was a minor character on House who made two appearances on the show in its seventh and eighth seasons. She was House's favourite prostitute after House broke up with Lisa Cuddy. Emily first appears in Out of the Chute as one of House's many liaisons with prostitutes. She was the one playing the hurdy-gurdy. House apparently prefers prostitutes who have other interests. As he explained in We Need the Eggs, with hookers, he needs someone to keep him interested "the other 57 minutes of the hour". As such, he enjoyed being with Emily so he kept hiring her.
