One Tree Hill Disappoints

One of my favorite television shows right now is One Tree Hill. During the first four seasons that it aired, I refused to watch it and get sucked into another melodrama about high school kids and there pregnancy scares. 

But, after the discovery of the Soap Network last semester in between studying for finals, I found myself getting sucked right into the One Tree Hill world. Sure, the fact that the cast plays 22 year olds who are professional basketball players and own their own fashion lines is a little far fetched, it still reeled me in and I’ve seen every episode and became an avid fan.

The two main stars of the show, Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray, have had rumors swirling around them all season that they were both not going to renew their contracts. As the sixth season finale approached, they both finally confirmed that it was true and that the characters of Peyton Sawyer and Lucas Scott would no longer be on the cast. 

So, just like any other OTH fan, I was in a state of pure panic for the season finale. How would it all end? Were they both going to be killed off? Was Peyton going to die sending Lucas into a crazy tail spin causing him to leave town? I had so many questions. I could not wait.

As quickly as the season finale came, it went, leaving little excitement or plot twists. Peyton and Lucas got married, gave birth to their child and then literally drove off into the sunset. That was it. 

What exactly is going to happen now? I’m confused and sad and cannot believe I have to wait a whole year to find out how the writers are going to come back from that disaster.
