http://www.othfans.com One Tree Hill approaches its final episode of the series, let's remember where it all started back in 2003. Mark Schwahn, the creator, originally had it planned to be a movie but the network liked the idea of tv show instead. So Mark put it together and at first the ratings were so low that he commented,

"Even my mother didn't know we were on."

Even when the show would have low ratings, it always got pulled back in for another season due to having such an amazingly loyal fan base. Many times the cast and crew had thought the show had come to an end, as James Lafferty explains,

"I guess we were the little underdog that could," and he continues, every time we thought we were done, so did a lot of people in America. But they always found their way back to us."

Our show has been on the chopping block when up for renewal most seasons, came up strong from low ratings and faced many challenges experimenting with time jumps as well as network and cast changes. This show has stayed strong and, thanks to such dedicated fans, gets to end on it's own terms as the ninth and final season comes to a close this Wednesday.

Be sure to tune into the CW at 8pm on Wednesday for the two hour series finale of One Tree Hill, including cast interviews as well.

Now that OTH is coming to an end, we will combine the domains OneTreeHillFans.com and OTHfans.com with OTHforums.com! So no matter which domain you type into the address bar, you will get the forums. Certain sections from OTHfans.com will still be available at the forums, including Episodes, Cast, Locations, and News.

As long as those domains are going to an active site, it increases the chance of people coming back. In return, this will help OTHforums.com live longer.

[credit: tvbythenumbers.com]]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:06:14 CDT One Tree Hill will come to an end Wednesday in a special 2-hour series finale. Rather you have stopped watching the show or have seen every episode, this will be a must see.

In the final chapter of One Tree Hill, the tenth anniversary of Tric brings old faces and new possibilities for the Tree Hill family. Sophia Bush, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Austin Nichols, Robert Buckley, Shantel VanSanten, Jackson Brundage, Lee Norris, Lisa Goldstein, Stephen Colletti, Tyler Hilton and Paul Johansson star. The episode was written and directed by Mark Schwahn.

Tune in at 8pm on the CW!]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:57:00 CDT

I can't believe we only have two episodes left, I am glad that we get to see Sophia direct this episode. Don't forget to tune in tonight and check it out for yourself.

[credit: hollywoodreporter.com]]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:42:37 CDT One Tree Hill will come to an end in just a few weeks, we are getting many questions regarding the status of OTHfans.com and OTHforums.com, and if they will be closing when OTH ends. So I wanted to address that right here on the site.

As far as OTHfans.com: At this current time I am not quite sure exactly what will happen with the site. While I do not plan to completely get rid of it, I'm not sure if I will downsize it, or forward it to OTHforums.com!

As far as OTHforums.com: As long as the forums continue to have good revenue to pay for itself, the forums will remain open. As you all know, it costs money to keep a website running. Luckily for me, the visitor load/click of ads is good enough to have this website pay for itself. As long as that continues to happen, this site will remain open.

When the show goes off the air, I am sure there will be a dip in visitors. During times of hiatus, it got close a few months, and we almost had to close the sites. But then things would pick back up when the show would air again. Since it will be going off the air for good, remember to visit us. As long as you continue to support this website like you have been, it will remain open.

An alternative source would be our new sister site... REVENGEforums.com... dedicated to the new ABC hit series Revenge. I highly suggest checking out this amazing show that airs Wednesdays at 10pm (eastern) on ABC. If you have not been watching, it would probably be best to pick it up from the beginning so you understand what's going on. Hulu.com has all the episodes to watch.

In the meantime, keep supporting the website, and keep doing what you've been doing. And this site should last a while after OTH comes to an end.

Thank you,

Viewers Live+SD (million): 1.36]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:34:01 CST One Tree Hill will have a chance to wrap up nine years of excitement, romance, drama and laughter when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group releases the show's ninth and final season on DVD April 10, 2012. Titled One Tree Hill: The Complete Ninth and Final Season, this collection will feature all 13 episodes from Season Nine, plus over two hours of never-before-seen bonus material. One Tree Hill: The Complete Ninth and Final Season will retail for $39.98 SRP.

The final season of One Tree Hill welcomes new hopes, challenges and dangers. Now parents of twin boys, Brooke and Julian are excited for the future. But while Brooke works on rekindling an old relationship, will Julian be able to juggle the demands of fatherhood as well as a new business venture? Though Clay and Quinn came through their past struggles stronger than ever, a different kind of demon now threatens their relationship. On "Mouth and Millie in the Morning," our favorite talk show hosts are excited to report Tree Hill's latest, only this time there is an elephant in the room. And after welcoming baby Lydia, will Nathan and Haley be able to keep their family intact when they are faced with their greatest threat yet, especially when Dan Scott returns? Here we go again, into the challenges that come with the quest for happiness, in a place called Tree Hill.

"Though it's sad to see the highly popular One Tree Hill come to a close, we're pleased to offer the show's final season to consumers. Now fans can own the entire series from start to finish," said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. She added, "For nine seasons, One Tree Hill has managed to remain a successful and popular franchise thanks to its loyal and devoted fan base. It's a series that surely will be missed."

"We're excited to be able to share the final season and never-before-seen bonus material with our incredibly loyal fans," said One Tree Hill creator/executive producer Mark Schwahn. "Knowing this was to be our last year, we made sure to document it, which made for some excellent behind-the-scenes footage that we've included here, along with our last, explosive, emotional season of One Tree Hill."

One Tree Hill: The Complete Ninth and Final Season will include an UltraViolet Digital Copy, which allows consumers to download and stream via Wi-Fi all 13 episodes to their computers and compatible iOS and Android devices.

One Tree Hill]]> Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:02:23 CST One of the most visited spots in Wilmington, NC by fans of One Tree Hill was the Rivercourt. Located just across the Cape Fear River from downtown, it offered a wonderful view of the city for many seasons of the show. However, that famous slab of concrete no longer exists. Shortly after the show wrapped in the Port City, it was torn up from the ground. Luckily for fans, they cut it up into small pieces that now can be bought.

Port City Clothing in Wilmington has small pieces of the Rivercourt that you can be purchased by fans of the hit show. All cement pieces come in a 2" x 2" x 1.25" clear plastic boxes with a clear label that says "One Tree Hill The Rivercourt 2003-2011." Each piece is being sold for $15 and can be purchased on their website.

For now the company is sold out of the pieces but states on their website they will have more soon, so keep checking.

Port City Clothing also has a t-shirt inspired by the OTH logo for sale, also for $15.]]> Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:11:27 CST One Tree Hill latest episode "The Killing Moon" has the show going down in ratings from the last episode.

Viewers (Millions): 1.35]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:35:29 CST One Tree Hill season 9 continues next week with episode 6, "Catastrophe and the Cure," and like "The Killing Moon," the majority of it is about Nathan's disappearance.

Do not watch if you do not want to know what happens. This is a scene clip and NOT a promo clip.

]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:23:21 CST One Tree Hill's creator Mark Schwahn has said that the last 13 episodes "will be dark" compared to the most recent seasons of the CW drama.

The first few minutes of the first episode seem to prove him right. The characters are each thrown into what looks like hell and havoc. There's fighting and crying, a burning building and Haley standing in the morgue over a dead body.

Schwahn wouldn't tell The Hollywood Reporter much about the mystery death. "I will say that we won't end the season with the cast that we start with, and I think for fans of the show, that will be emotional and powerful," he said. "I think in One Tree Hill, rarely is all what it seems, so there's always that to factor in."

So don't expect the final season to simply be a retrospective covering the 187 episode and nine years of the show's existence. Schwahn is purposefully moving the plot forward in big ways, and even bringing back some familiar faces, including Tyler Hilton, who will reprise his role as Chris Keller. And yes, he still talks about himself in third person.

"In a season that could have just been a look back or a pat on the back or something quiet and soft, I just really felt like let's go out being forward thinking and challenging the audience a little bit, said Schwahn, who added that he felt the ninth season is definitely his favorite.

For the past nine years, fans of the locally filmed drama series One Tree Hill have made pilgrimages to the makeshift basketball court in Battleship Park across the river from downtown Wilmington.

Now, the "river court," as it was known on the show, is being torn up.

Crews worked on the court Monday, cutting through the concrete.

The show finished filming its ninth and final season a couple weeks ago, so there was no more use for the court. Fans, however, hoped it would stick around as a memorial to the show they loved. A petition was started but time was not on fans' side.

We've learned that the crews were instructed to cut up small squares of the court that will be sent to Los Angeles. That is all the work being done today. The rest of the court will be taken down at a later date (but soon). I'm guessing that means pieces could be auctioned off, but that's just speculation at this point.

The cast has been tweeting all day and its been a constant refresh on the page going on over here. Its the second to last day of filming for the actors we've all come to love, and for the characters that have made us want a Luke and Nathan in our own lives. Alright, alright. The newest news? The title says it all! Gavin DeGraw and Bevin Price will be heading back to Tree Hill and fans have Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols to thank! Austin tweeted, "Here we are jammin out to Gavin Degraw tonight. Final episode. Pick up his new album now." Sophia added, "...Gavin Degraw is bringing the house down..." Sources also told Zap2it that the cast shot scenes this past weekend and Bevin Prince was in the crowd! Our favorite Bevin Mirskey girl who got away with 'Notebooking' Skills is back!

OTH can't end, it just can't. Will Gavin DeGraw be singing I Don't Wanna Be in the finale? Will Bryan Greenberg return as Jake Jagielski in one of those Peyton I'm back with Jenny scenes? Minus the Hilarie Burton of course. Seriously, season nine can't come here soon enough. Danneel Harris's Rachel won't be coming back but at least we get some Tyler Hilton too!

When The CW finally announced that they were granting the show an abbreviated ninth season, the one cast hold-out remained James Lafferty.

Now, details are emerging about the actor's reduced role. We've confirmed that James Lafferty will be listed as a series regular, just as he always has been. However, TVLine reports that despite the title remaining the same, Lafferty will appear in only about half of the 13 episodes.

Word is that Lafferty's character, Nathan, who is now a full-fledged Fortitude agent, will be traveling abroad for a significant chunk of the season. (Perhaps he'll visit his MIA brother, Luke!) We're hearing that Nate won't be too happy about the return of Dan Scott, or the way Haley seems to have warmed up to him.

That's right, Hill devotees, a show rep tells us that Hilton's onetime bad boy - who hasn't shown his face on the CW sudser since Season 4 - has received an out-of-left-field promotion to full-time status. And The Powers That Be aren't wasting any time getting Chris back in the game: He'll first resurface in the premiere episode, airing at midseason.

Details surrounding Hilton's return are being kept tightly under wraps, but we can say that fans should look forward to hearing lots of tunes from the performer throughout OTH's upcoming run, which has been billed by the network as its "farewell season."

Our prediction: Chris comes back to town for a quick visit, then decides to stick around. (They always do.) He's a changed man. He reconciles with both Nathan and Haley. He performs at Tric. He hooks up with someone. (Maybe Mia?) And they all live happily ever after.

Actor/musician Tyler Hilton played coy on Twitter when he posted, "I'm doing something soooo exciting today...but I can't tell u. It's killing me! I hate secrets. But I'll tell u soon. :)"

If there's anything we've learned from "One Tree Hill," though, it's that secrets never stay secret for long. Sources confirm to Zap2it that Hilton is returning to the show as singer/songwriter/homewrecker Chris Keller.

No word yet on how long he'll be visiting Tree Hill for, but we're thrilled to have him back. Keller caused some serious problems for everyone's favorite married teenagers in Seasons 2 and 3. We haven't seen him since a brief appearance in Season 4, when his tour bus happened upon our heroes -- who were, incidentally, in need of a ride to Texas to bail a friend out of jail... and crash a strange prom.

You know, just an average Saturday night.

In Tree Hill time, about 10 years have passed. We're looking forward to finding out how that decade treated Keller. Is he as rich and famous as he thought he should be? Rumor has it, he's back in town help Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) out with Red Bedroom Records since Peyton (Hilarie Burton) remains AWOL.

In addition to playing the town's most lovable douchebag, Hilton has contributed a number of songs to "One Tree Hill's" successful soundtrack albums, including a duet with Galeotti on Ryan Adams' "When The Stars Go Blue" and a memorable cover of John Waite's "Missing You." We're sure to be treated to more of his acoustic charms in the ninth and final season.
