One tree hill

Today i am going to be talking about a TV show which i love called one tree hill. One tree hill has been running since 2003 and is an american teen drama series which was created by Mark Schwahn. The show is set in a fictional place called tree hill in north carolina. The show focuses on two half brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott and their relationship with each other and their friends and family. The first four seasons focused on the characters during their high school years. From the fifth season too present the show focuses on the characters in thier careers and lives as adults. The show is currently in its 8th season in America and this will be shown later this year in the UK.

The show is based on two brothers being enemies and how their relationship changes due to the people around them. Thier father Dan Scott is the villian of the show and this forms a better relationship between the two brothers. The show deals with many issues and has been critisised for some of the episodes involved. An episode was aired about a school shooting. Many felt offended by this and argued that it was encouraging people too behave that way. However the creator of the show argued that it was being truthful and realistic showing that this can happen and sometimes does happen, He wanted to portray this in a positive way too help people who are suffering from bullying. Episodes also aired of a character being kidnapped by someone pretending too be her brother.

One of the main parts of the show is the music. I believe that without the music the show would not be as succesful. The music helps add too the story and the creators do a good job of finding songs which relate too what has happened in the episode. A song is played at the end of every episode and ties scenes together. The song usually refelcts the story and what has happened. Artists have guest starred on the show. These artists include Sheryl Crow, Fall out boy and Angels and Airwaves.

The characters
Lucas: The character of Lucas is played by Chad Michael Murray. At the beginning of the series he doesnt get along with his Brother Nathan. However they then become friends. His Best friend is Hayley James. The character gets invloved in a love triangle between the characters Brooke and Peyton. However it is peyton who he eventually ends up marrying and having a child with. For most of the series he plays basketball however he also has an interest in Literature. As an adult he becomes a novelist and also coaches his former high schools basketball team. Throughout the show he struggles with a heart condition which risks him playing basketball. Season six was the last season that the character appears in.




Nathan: The character of Nathan is played by James Lafferty. At the beginning he lives with his parents however his relationship with them is very strained. Initially he uses Hayley as a way of getting revenge on Lucas but later he realises his feelings for her. The two of them later marry and live together. They also have a child together called Jamie. Nathan is a professional NBA player in the later series. He almost loses his dream when he gets invlolved in a fight and ends up in a wheelchair.

Peyton: Is played by Hilarie Burton. She played peyton from series 1 - 6. She was Brooke's best friend and had a relationship with Nathan for a few episodes. She has a love for music and art. she often shows her feelings through art and the music she listens too. The character often has bad things which happen too her. she gets shot and also later on gets attacked by someone pretending to be her brother( sounds more complicated than  it is). She later marries lucas and leaves with him to raise thier child. She is probably my favourite character because of  her love of music. This is because i also love music. She runs a record label which i would love too do. it would be awesome.

Brooke: Is played by Sophia Bush. At the beginning she plays the immature teenager who has been neglected by her parents. However she later becomes a better person due too her friendships with Hayley and Peyton. Later on once she has grown up she becomes the owner of a multi million fashion company. Her mother returns and a relationship is formed between the two. In the newest series Brooke marries a character called Julian and loses her company due to forged documents.

Hayley: Is played by Bethany Joy Gaelotti. She plays the best friend of Lucas Scott. She is given credit for making Nathan a better person. She has a passion for music and has enjoyed a succesful music career. She was also a teacher at her former high school however lost her job. She then becomes a music producer and takes over running peytons company.

That is just a look at the main characters. I suggest you watch the programme and would recommend it too anyone :) xxx
