“Overall, it was great. We were a really tight family. There was a bond there even through all of our differences and hating and loving each other. I still talk to Luke [Perry, Dylan] all the time. It’s one of those things you feel you’ll never really be able to duplicate.”

  • The CW sent out a press release of upcoming sweeps highlights, which Zap2it handily categorized by show. They left some things out, but all of it should be considered spoilers so consider this fair warning. If you guys want, I’ll post it all, as given in the release, in a Spoiler post. Let me know.
  • There is “We Are One” campaign to further encourage The CW to renew One Tree Hill.
  • Examiner.com has an article on the showcase Jana Kramer (Alex, One Tree Hill) had last week.
  • I’ve heard speculation for a while now that Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) has been dating actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. With no legitimate outlet reporting it, I didn’t post anything on it. But now we’ve got confirmation: the duo appeared on the red carpet last night for his movie The Losers.

James Lafferty Interview Coming Sunday!

21 04 2010

I wanted to let you all know I just got off the phone with James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill). Our interview will be posted Sunday.

In addition to discussing the upcoming episodes, James shared why he thinks Naley fans have been so loyal, what he hopes the show’s legacy will be–and much, much more (including what he thinks of TeenDramaWhore.com!)

I know other outlets are also interviewing him this week, which makes me especially grateful that James found time in his busy schedule to have a conversation with me. I am also grateful to The CW for giving me the opportunity.

Regular readers know I usually don’t “reveal” my upcoming interviews in advance but I was excited to share this with you guys and I hope you’re excited, too.

I thought I’d share some select quotes to hold you over til Sunday:

On one of his favorite One Tree Hill moments: “I literally felt like I had won the lottery.”

On One Tree Hill’s renewal chances: “There’s hundreds of questions and no answers. I’m trying to sit back and just wait.”

On how he’d like to leave the fans: “I’m a sucker for happy endings. I would love for our story to be one that ends positively.”

Come back Sunday morning to read the full interview!
