One Tree Hill 2012

One Tree Hill 2012, One Tree Hill is back for the ninth and final season and brought more than a handful of jaw dropping surprises. Right away we were shown some very familiar faces that we haven’t seen in quite awhile and surely this is just the beginning of these moments since Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray among others will also be returning for guest appearances before the series finale.

If you aren’t one to read spoilers, the opening sequence brought you up to speed on what we can expect this season.

Every moment in the opening was mesmerizing and has set up for what is sure to be one of the most explosive seasons of the series. The much anticipated season nine premiere satisfied very much in setting that up. In fact, One Tree Hill not only came back strong but stronger than ever and definitely gave us some good “TV to Talk About.”

As for one of the familiar faces…Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton) is back and Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) was not at all pleased to see him… and for good reason. No one is doubting Chris Keller’s ability to successfully run a label but coming back to town to run Haley’s label of all labels is much too close to home given everyone’s history with Keller. While it is fun in a nostalgic kind of way to see Chris Keller back in town, rubbing everyone the wrong way as he playfully does, we know that there is more to his return than what he is putting out there. Why he rode shotgun next to Dan (Paul Johansson) leaving a burning diner with a gun is beyond anything we could have ever anticipated. And then Dan said, “If you can, leave the killing to me. I’m already on the list.” What exactly is going on here? Fantastic use of the mystery aspect here.

When it comes to Haley at home… it is just so good to see Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley again. It has been far too long since our favorite TV couple has been on the small screen. No matter how many miles apart they are when Nathan is away on business, these two manage to give me butterflies like they did when they were in high school. Just looking at them will make you smile, thinking of how far they have come. Images from past seasons flash through the mind, good and bad but all part of Naley’s history and what a wonderful piece of history it is. Season nine is sure to put a spotlight on the one relationship that really holds Tree Hill up. It is a shame though that Nathan was not home before what came next.

Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) and Julian (Austin Nichols) are new parents to two beautiful baby boys who got christened with the help of Haley, Victoria (Daphne Zuniga), and Brooke’s father! We finally get to meet Brooke’s father (Richard Burgi)! What better a moment to see him then at the christening for Brooke’s twins? Burgi is sticking around for awhile this season so we have a lot of laughs and tears to look forward to. But after the christening, who shows up when Nathan is not around but Dan. A fire at Dan’s diner brings him back to Tree Hill, begging Haley for a place to rest his head while he gets back on his feet. The only problem is, the fire from the opening sequence seemed a little shady, what with the gun involved and Chris Keller in the passenger seat during the opening. Again, what is really going on here?
