I am 100% obsessed with One Tree Hill and for months it was speculated that the show would not return for an 8th season! Word was that the CW didn't have the budget that it needed to continue with the show and would prefer to bring back Gossip Girls, Smallville and90210 among others (even though OTH generates the biggest ratings) . Soon after word was out, fans started writing and calling the CW along with signing petitions to bring back OTH back for season 8!
People also started sending basketballs to the CW symbolizing the show! As weeks passed by, show executives released a statement explaining how the cast would shoot 2 alternate endings and would release the one that fit the conclusion of whether or not it would come back.
The season (possible series) finale aired on Monday, May 17th and as the show progressed i realized they aired the episode the executive producers said they would air if it was in fact the end of the show...soon i realized, "oh crap" this is it! Needless to say, i was very emotional...on top of the fact that the episode was having so many happy endings, in the back of my had i kept thinking how this is the end of the show and that definitely didn't help the emotional wreck i already was!
Brooke and Julian FINALLY got engaged and Haley was FINALLY getting better after her mom's death and Haley FINALLY told Nathan she was pregnant!! It was all happy endings UNTIL the last 10 seconds of the episode! If you're a regular OTH viewer I'm SURE your jaw dropped just like mine! Completely threw me off and shocked me! Quinn and Clay were shot by Sara (the crazy Clay stalker)...and of course, it ended after that!
Even though i was in complete shock and couldn't believe what i had just seen, I got so happy because I knew OTH would come back for sason 8! Before the season finale aired, speculation was that the CW would bring it back for half a season but nothing had yet been confirmed! The morning after the finale aired, CW confirmed the show re-newel for a season 8! They have not yet confirmed if it will come for half a season (12-13 episodes) or for a full season...but there's definitely hope for a full season! Latest rumor is that both former castmates, Chad Micheal Murray (Lucas) and Hilarie Burton (Peyton) have both signed up for a cameo but nothing has been confirmed!
All i can say is, I am so happy the show is returning and that it lives another season! Thanks to all the fans who called and wrote to CW and kept the hope for the show! Keep showing your support!
Season 8 is scheduled to air in Septemeber 2010.
