1. Why did you first get you interested in the Show?I began watching like 6 years ago precisely when the show first started. I was flicking through the channels and came across the show. At first I wasn`t interested but I loved the music they used. Then I kept watching and was really hooked on Leyton. I kept watching just waiting for them to hook up. I`ve been obsessed with the show ever since.
2. Why do you love oth?Mainly I love watching Leyton. ALL of their scenes are amazing to me, whether they are together or just friends. I especially adored them in Season 3 and they weren`t even together, their friendship is amazing. The show has also introduced me to music I probably would`ve never heard and music is pretty much my life. I hear songs that no one knows about then they become mainstream like years later, it`s great.
3. What are some of your favorite voice overs that have happened on the show? My absolute favorite is Peyton`s in 3.01 (At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one) She is definitely an old soul and that`s why I`m so drawn to her. Every time she has a voice over her words captivate me. I love her. One of my other favorite is Luca`s (Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie) When he said this I pretty much felt like no matter what, I would work toward always being honest in life.
4. Before oth would you have gotten into the music featured on the show if you did not already listen to them? Like I mentioned before, the show has introduced me to music I would`ve never heard before. I don`t listen to the radio so I get new music from shows, movies or online. One Tree Hill has the best music ever, Mark is a genius!
5. What are your top five songs featured on the show?Wow, this question is not fair! I absolutely can`t choose 5 favorites but I`ll mention 5 songs that have stayed with me.
•Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics is classic Leyton. The Motel scene is so hot that no other scene can top it in my opinion.
•Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez is an obvious choice because it played during the Leyton scene in 4.09. I waited 4 years for them to finally get together and it was so great!
•Ashes and Wine introduced me to A Fine Frenzy...AH-MAZING! I know she was featured on the show once before but I don`t think I paid attention. And of course Peyton let go of the love of her life so he could be happy. :(
•Wait for Love by Matt White because every time I hear it the Leyton scene in the school hallway runs through my head.
•Center of Attention by Jackson Waters. Just listen to how haunting his voice is. This song will stay with you, it`s gorgeous.
I think the obvious pattern here is Leyton, I know I`m obsessed. :)
6. What do you think was the best storyline for each character? I`ll just discuss the main 5.
Peyton - The storyline with Ellie was heartbreaking. I was so happy she finally had her mom and just when they got so close tragedy was right there. My heart breaks for Peyton, her life has so much sadness. That`s why I`m so glad that she has Lucas because he makes her happy and Peyton deserves that and more.
Lucas - His heart condition being written into different aspects of the show is great. My favorite was when Haley got hit by the car and he collapsed. That whole episode was crazy because they all had to face probable tragedy.
Brooke - The whole attack and how she overcame it was played really well by Sophia. I love how they are bringing that back because I think Sophia is such a great actress.
Haley - My favorite for her was when Nathan was in a wheelchair and how she remained strong through his withdrawal. Haley put up with a lot of crap to keep her marriage intact especially with the whole nanny Carrie thing.
Nathan -I loved the storyline when he was getting blackmailed by Daunte because it showed his true weakness. The outcome was great because no matter how much pressure he had to do point shaving his loyalty to his family was stronger.
7. What was your favorite episode from every season?From Season 1 it`s Episode 12. For me this episode dealt with loyalty. Peyton`s loyalty to Brooke. Luke`s loyalty to Brooke. Nathan`s loyalty to the game and so on. I mean obviously the Motel scene was the ultimate action of passion and betrayal. How far were two people willing to go to give into there love despite the pain they were inflicting on one person. I`m a Leytoner but I have to admit that I`m sort of glad they didn`t go all the way. That would`ve pretty much destroyed Breyton`s friendship and Leyton doesn`t have to cheat to be together.
Season 2 is Episode 5, it was a fun episode and showed how far they would go to prove a point. Peyton`s revelation about doing cocaine was shocking to me. I always felt like even through all the pain she was facing she would never fall for such pressure or temptation. Her strength definitely helped her stop.
Season 3 is definitely Episode 16. Each character was facing that terrible ordeal of the school shooting and they each handled it differently. The way they put their lives on the line and stuck together was amazing. The Leyton library scene is the reason I know that no matter what happens Lucas will always be there for Peyton. The world for him stops when it comes to her and she will always love him.
Season 4 is Episode 9. 3 Words made me choose this episode..."Peyton it`s you" This has to be every Leytoner`s favorite S4 episode by far. Lucas finally got with the right girl and I finally got my Leyton.
Season 5 is Episode 12. When I thought Luke was gonna marry that gross man I was depressed for a like whole week. Not only did the wedding not happen but they showed us how deep Leyton`s connection is. Peyton is Lucas` inspiration and the reason he pretty much functions. I`m starting to think that his relationship with that man lasted so long because he was picturing Peyton the whole time. :)
Even though we`re still in Season 6 my favorite so far is Episode 1 just because of that airport scene. Lucas chose Peyton, need I say more?
Once again everything is pretty much tied up to Leyton.
8. What characters has the best quotes?Definitely Lucas, he pretty much narrates the show and does it so eloquently.
9. What is your favorite season of OTH?
My favorite is Season 4. The main reason I watch is because of Leyton and this Season had the best Leyton scenes in my opinion. Season 6 is not too far behind from being my favorite. I`ll decide when it`s over.
10. What is your least favorite season of OTH?I hated Season 5 with a passion. What the hell happened with Lucas in this Season? He was acting like a complete ass and completely out of his character. Peyton did way too much crying I was getting so sick of it. Naley were going through so much drama and Brooke`s mom grossed me out. I don`t think I have anything good to say about this Season...wait I did love Mia but that`s about it.
11. What is the one mistake that each character has made that you would take back if you could?
Peyton-When she did cocaine, drugs should never be the answer.
Lucas -Being with Lindsey and wasting all of the time he could have spent with Peyton.
Brooke - When she said all those hurtful things to Peyton about her 2 dead moms. She was definitely not thinking and lived through all that pain with Peyton to then throw it in her face...really low.
Haley - Kissing Chris. Haley is pretty much the most rational character but this was one dumb move.
Nathan -Point shaving because he was letting a lot of people down and was allowing Daunte to control him.
12. What is the one mistake that each character has made would you not take Back if you could?
Peyton -Kissing Luke in the library and telling him she loved him. A lot of people especially Brucas fans hate her for this but I would never change this. She thought she was dying and wanted Lucas to know how she felt which is completely understandable in my opinion.
Lucas -Proposing to Peyton in LA was great but very immature and stupid in my opinion. He was definitely pressuring her without remotely knowing it which shows how little he was ready for that big step. I wouldn`t change Peyton`s answer because they were in no way ready to take that step.
Haley -Going on tour changed her and even though she decided to return I was really pissed that Nathan didn`t want her to go and fulfill her dream. No matter what, you should always do what makes you happy.
Brooke -Giving up her clothing line was the boldest thing she has ever done. This was her future and security but it has definitely made Brooke stronger for not having that.
Nathan - Pretty much cutting Dan out of his life was not really a mistake but it affected a lot of people. I wouldn`t change it because it showed that even though that`s his father, what Dan did was unforgivable.
Dan - I would not take back when he killed Keith. I know that sounds really terrible but this event changed the entire outcome of the show.
13. What was the most ridiculous storyline that happened?The Nanny Carrie one became extremely far fetched and ridiculous toward the end. They dragged that one on for way too long and her acting became somewhat comedic. I`m glad that`s over.
14. Did you find the Psycho Derek and Nanny Carrie storylines believable? Each was believable to an extent. The thing that I didn`t like about Psycho Derek was how Peyton welcomed him into her life, no questions asked. The Nanny Carrie one is something that can really happen but the scenarios they put her in became a little annoying.
15. What is the one character that you would get rid of that has been on the show?Okay WTF is with Mark bringing Gigi back? I`m starting to think that he gets bored and decides to bring random characters back for effect.
16. Who is your favorite character and why?
Peyton of course, I love everything about her! Let`s start by saying that no other character on any show ever has had such immaculate taste in music. I have sampled every song or artist she has ever mentioned. Her self expression through art is phenomenal. To be able to put your emotions onto canvas is a true gift. Her inner strength is hard to grasp. I don`t know of any one person that has endured so much pain in one lifetime and yet be full of so much love. Peyton is my inspiration, I adore her.

22. What Musical artist should appear next on the show? I really want Coldplay to appear, I worship them.
23. Was their ever something that happened on One Tree Hill that you want to kill Mark for putting you through that torture? When Lucas was with Lindsey. That was pure torture for any Leyton fan and it lasted for an entire Season, I wanted to rip my hair out!
24. What do you think was the best episode ever from the whole series including season 6? So far it`s With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.
25. Do you think that With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, and Souls we slept was a very realistic episode? It was extremely realistic. Things like that have happened and it was pretty much ripped from the headlines.
26. What was the one episode that you hated more than anything? Everything that had to do with Season 5 is garbage but especially Hate Is Safer Than Love. You never tell someone you hate them, it hurts.
27. Did you like the time jump that happened after season 4?In the beginning I thought it would ruin the show but it`s the best thing Mark could`ve done. They lived every possible experience in HS and showing us college life would`ve been redundant.
28. What is the worst thing that has happened on the show?Definitely when Dan killed Keith. I mean it was totally unexpected and the greatest act of evil. No matter how cruel Dan can be, I would`ve never imagined he could harm his own brother.
29. Would you like to see more flashback episodes from the college years?Of course! Since we didn`t get to see the college years I love seeing what their lives were like during that time the show skipped.
30. Who is your favorite adult character? Peyton is my favorite character all around but Brooke is my favorite adult character. I absolutely did not like Brooke at all up until Season 5. She has evolved so much and grown into such a mature individual. Now and again we get to see the quirky side of Brooke but I admire every decision she chooses to make. She is level headed and still puts others before herself. I love her a lot.
