No need to wonder anymore if the TV gods will bless us with another season of One Tree Hill. TV Week confirmed that The CW has in fact renewed OTH for a season 7. No word yet on whether this will be with or without Chad Michael Murray (Lucas).
In other good teen drama news, Gossip Girl and 90210 were also renewed.
And here’s the icing on the cake:
The GG spin-off will simply be titled “Lily.” Cute, no?
90210 will be on repeats until the end of March.
Tonight and Wednesday night they’re re-airing Hello, Goodbye, Amen.
You can see my reaction post here.
RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Cedric in New York: Any scoop on the Gossip Girl spinoff?
Krysten Ritter, who plays Lily’s big sis, Carol Rhodes, tells us “It’s set on the Sunset Strip, and I am down for whatever. I’m excited to see what they do with my hair. Like Tess McGill, Working Girl hair.” Ah, break out the Aqua Net!
Jesse in San Francisco, Calif.: Will Luke Perry finally show up on 90210?
Highly doubtful, according to Jennie Garth. At the Costume Designer Awards, we asked her when he would be on the show, and Jennie jumped right in, saying, “I don’t think he is.” Bummer.
Laetitia from Paris: Salut, Kristin, I heard that Peyton from One Tree Hill is gonna lose her baby in a car crash? She’s my favorite character. Please tell me it’s not true.
I love that your favorite character is one you haven’t even met yet! I have a soft spot for Peyton and Lucas’ spawn, too. (Or wait, did you mean Peyton is your fave?) Anyhoo, regardless, a source tells me this: “There is a car crash, but Peyton will not lose the baby because of that. She will be OK. But so far we don’t know if the baby lives or dies yet in the finale.” Ugh. Have your family-sized Kleenex box standing by, just in case!
Maria from Riverside, Calif: Gossip Girl! Please! I miss it so.
You and me both, sister. Word on the street is that Georgina will come back a totally different person. My guess? George.
Lacey in Utica, N.Y.: I’ll take 90210 scoop if you’ve got it!
Things are really going to start heating up between Liam (Matt Lanter) and Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord). Says McCord, “Things are getting a little hot and steamy. Then, as if what we’re doing is not enough, Naomi starts having wet dreams. It’s hilarious. All I’m going to say is ‘banana in a pocket.’ ” By the way, AnnaLynne also tells me Eden will be back on Nip/Tuck: “I have one more episode airing that I’ve shot so far, and then I don’t know what’s next for it, but I don’t fall off, so you never know, I could come back…The last episode I’m with Kimber and Ram. I’m pretty mean. That’s all I’m going to say.” In other news, we’ll be meeting Adrianna’s Aunt Nancy in the finale. She’s described a good egg, which makes me worry that she’ll be taking off with either Adrianna or her baby…
If there’s two things you can count on teen dramas for, it’s love and anguish. This week I’ll be counting down the 10 saddest moments in teen drama history. In some cases it will be a single scene and in others it will be a montage or culmination of events. Either way, get the tissues ready; the tragedies will get worse as the week goes on…
10. Dawson feels guilty for fighting with his father before his death (Dawson’s Creek, Episode 5.4: The Long Goodbye)
9. Joey confronts her father in prison (Dawson’s Creek, Episode 1.13: Decisions)
No new episodes again. Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill are on hiatus until mid-March.
Here’s what’s on tonight instead:
This isn’t so much a site as it is a document but I think it still qualifies.
The O.C. Series Fact Sheet has information from the mundane to the trivial to the fascinating.
There’s a list of kisses to remember, the details of every single fight Ryan got into and the producers’ favorite moments.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210) is one of the few teen drama stars–if not the only–to have had a prior significant teleivsion gig.
As Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell, Theissen worked her way into the hearts of adolsecents across the country. It was hard to find a young girl who didn’t want to be her and a young boy that didn’t want to date her.
The following clip highlights some of Thiessen/Kelly’s best cheerleading moments.
Have another favorite Thiessen/Kelly moment? Or like another teen drama star’s other work? Post in the comments!
(It’s also worth mentioning that Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) appeared in several SBTB episodes as Violet, while she was on 90210. You can watch a clip here!)
