Villains, Part 4

29 06 2009

ONE TREE HILL

1. Dan Scott (played by Paul Johansson)

Dan’s pre-show history already gave us a reason to dislike him: he abandoned baby mama Karen (Moira Kelly) and had nothing to with their son Lucas (Chad Michael Murray).  Couple that with various schemes, back-stabbing and plain old maliciousness, Dan has very few friends in One Tree Hill.  And then there’s the biggest sin of all: murdering his own brother, Keith (Craig Sheffer).  Despite many near-death experiences (burned in a fire, hit by a car, a faulty heart, etc.), Dan has managed to survive all six seasons of the show.  His future remains unclear, though.

2. Psycho Derek (played by Matt Barr)

Quite possibly the creepiest and scariest character on the show, he first appeared claiming to be the long-lost brother of Peyton (Hilarie Burton).  Turns out, he was actually a psycho (hence the nickname) who’s warped ways of trying to woo Peyton included attacked her.  After a fight with Lucas and the real Derek (Ernest Waddell), he disappeared…only to return on prom night and attack Peyton again, along with Brooke (Sophia Bush).  This time he ended up in jail.

3. Victoria Davis (played by Daphne Zuniga)

Though she’s the mother of Brooke, we didn’t actually meet Victoria until season 5.  The most cold-hearted mother on any of the teen dramas, Victoria repeatedly insults Brooke and tries to take advantage of her and her company. They reconciled at the end of season 6 but I can’t imagine it lasting.

4. Nanny Carrie (played by Torrey DeVitto)

Hired as a nanny (again, hence the nickname) for Jamie (Jackson Brundage), the first signs of Carrie’s evilness came when she started hitting on married Nathan (James Lafferty).  After being fired, Carrie kidnapped Jamie, who was rescued by Dan, of all people.  A vengeful Carrie resurfaced the following season, this time kidnapping Dan and nearly killing him.  Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods) inadvertently rescued him, and Carrie is presumed to be dead from a gunshot wound.

Check back tomorrow to read about the villainesses of Gossip Girl.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Can we assume that Gossip Girl‘s Serena won’t be attending Brown now that she’s off chasing Daddy Dearest? — Becky
MICKEY: Here’s what Blake Lively told us about Serena’s plans in the wake of being slapped with that paternal jaw-dropper. “She’s thrown for this huge loop,” she says. “There are a lot of things she’s going to find out about her mother and about her background.” In other words, Serena will not be heading to Providence in the fall… but she might not be in New York either.

Do you know if One Tree Hill plans to cast an African-American or other minority in any of the roles being added? — Dee Bee
MATT: Thus far, you’re 0-for-2 on that wish, seeing as Robert Buckley and Shantel VanSanten have been cast as Nathan’s agent and Haley’s sister, Quinn, respectively. As for “Alex” (the supermodel fronting Brooke’s new clothing line), Tree Hill is looking at “all ethnicities,” so there’s some hope there. For what’s it worth, I can offer up this concrete piece of guest casting: NFL legend Jerry Rice will appear as himself in the Sept. 14 season opener.

Is there a shot for the CW to pick up Body Politic as a midseason replacement?  From the sneak peeks I’ve seen, it looks like it’s got lots of promise, and I really need a weekly Jason Dohring fix! — Gina
MICKEY: I’m with you, Gina! Body reminds me of the heady mid-’90s, when I actually called Washington, D.C., home (in large part because of the movie St. Elmo’s Fire). My CW mole tells me that the Beltway drama is still in the running for a midseason slot, but that it’s up against the Gossip Girl spin-off, which has a few high-ranking fans in the building.

**Note: Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) also stars in Body Politic.
