We discuss two novel possibilities in Higgs physics. The first is that, by adding a real Higgs triplet to the Standard Model, it is possible for the lightest Higgs boson to be as heavy as 500 GeV without any fine tuning. The second, somewhat orthogonal, possibility concerns the MSSM with explicit CP violation. This model is known to permit a light Higgs boson with mass below 50 GeV which may have avoided detection at LEP and may also avoid detection at the Tevatron and LHC. We suggest that diffraction may provide the key to excluding or observing such a Higgs.
