"I was hooked right away and instantly loved Brooke & Brucas."
1. Introduce yourself, tell us a little about you? Hi everyone, I'm Holly =] Ummmm what to say about myself? Well, I'm 21, I live in Maryland & I love cats. Seriously, show me a cute kitten or cat & I will start trying to convince people to let me take it home.
2. How did you get into OTH? Did you like it right from the start or did it not appeal to you at first? I was flipping through the channels one night when I stopped because I saw CMM on my screen. [I later found out the episode i watched was 1x10] I was hooked right away, and instantly loved Brooke & Brucas.
3. Who is your OTH OTP & why? Do you have any least favourite OTH couples, if so which couple? My oth OTP AND my overall OTP is Brucas ♥ But I'm pretty sure most people already know that! My least favorite is definitely Brooke/Julian.
"My least favourite couple is definitely Brooke/Julian."

5. Who is your favourite from the main 5, why are they your favourite? It's between Brooke & Haley. S1-6 Brooke was always my favorite [but i still loved Haley as well.] but these past 2 seasons... she's just... different. And to me, it's not a good kind of different. So for S7 & S8, Haley is my favorite.

10. Your top 5 OTH episodes of all time are...?
1. 2x22/2x23
2. 3x09
3. 3x22
4. 3x13
5. 2x16
"2x22/23 is the best One Tree Hill episode."
10. Who would you say is the heart of the show? Why? At this point? I'd say it's Brooke, Nathan & Haley. They are the last of the core characters... But in it's prime, I'd say Lucas & Nathan were the heart of the show. It was them & their rivalry that really started the show & gave it the drama it needed. Most websites that talk about OTH describe it as a show about "Two brothers and their love of basketball".
"Lucas & Nathan were the heart of the show."
11. Best OTH quote in your opinion is...? "There are 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer. One a day, but I never sent them 'cause I was afraid. "
"Brooke..."
"I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. 'Cause you hurt me so bad, and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer, Luke, wanting you... I was just too scared to admit it."
"Brooke! I'm sorry! What you did with Chris... it's okay."
"It's not. It can't be. It's too much to forgive!"
"Well, that's too bad because I forgive you."
"You can't!"
"I just did. So you're gonna just have to deal with it. I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis, and I know I hurt you last time we're together, but..."
"I love you."
"I love you too... pretty girl."
"I love you two, pretty girl."
12. You can only watch one OTH episode for the rest of your life, you choose? 2x22/23! It's got amazing Jeyton, tons of Brucas perfection ♥ And even a small bit of Naley!
13. Lets say you have control over anything that has happened/will happen in OTH, what do you change? Ha! You all know I'm putting Brucas & Jeyton back together, but in a well developed way. They wouldn't just be thrown back together... I'd have LP come back to Tree Hill but they aren't together anymore. [Sorry to my LP friends, but you all know how much I love my BL & JP!] And then Jake would show up with Jenny and slowly start reconnecting with Peyton, all the while Brooke & Lucas rebuild their friendship and start to realize they still love each other.
Oh and Julian? Julian can go die for all I care.
"You all know I'm putting Brucas & Jeyton back together!"
14. What is your favourite place shown in OTH? Which character/couple/episode does it remind you of? Hmmm this is a tough one! I think my favorite place is either the Rivercourt or Luke's house. I associate both these places with some of my favorite BL scenes.
"My favourite place is either the rivercourt or Luke's house."
15. You are hired by Mark Schwan to write the OTH finale, what would your dream finale be? I've thought about this before... I guess to keep it realistic, {aka no "Brucas & Jeyton magically get back together in the end" =[ } I'd bring back not just Lucas & Peyton, but a bunch of the favorites - Jake, Karen, Dan, Bevin, Tim etc. Maybe Lucas or Karen would even have a dream with Keith in it! And the episode would just be back to the shows roots... They would play basketball down at the Rivercourt, reminisce about the "old days" etc.
16. Pick?
Season 1 or Season 6? Season 1.
Anna or Felix? Anna.
Deb or Karen? Karen. [But I love Deb for the most part too!]
Lucas or Haley? Haley.
Baley or Breyton? Baley.
"Baley or Breyton? Baley!"
17. You can pick one character from another show to appear in an episode of OTH, who do you pick and why? Dean motherfucking Winchester! No question about it. I have always wanted to see Brooke/Dean together & this would be my chance!
"I have always wanted to see Brooke/Dean together."
18. Classic OTH or OTH 4 years later? Has the show gotten better or has it gone downhill? Classic OTH definitely! I do think the show started to go downhill with S4, but it's gotten the worst with S7 & S8.
19. You get to meet one of the OTH cast or crew for an interview. Who do you choose to meet and what do you ask them?
I'd definitely choose to meet Sophia. For years, she was my favorite actress and I really admired her... Now I'd just like to get some honest answers about why she's been acting so rudely to a lot of her fans on Twitter. Also, not gonna lie, I'd grill her about her relationship with Chad!
"I'd definitely choose to meet Sophia."
20. Any last words? Yes! Thank you to everyone who voted for me, I appreciate that you guys think I deserve FOTM! I haven't been as active on the OTH spot as I used to be, so this is really nice ♥ Can't wait to see who I'll be interviewing next month!
"I can't wait to see who I'll be interviewing next month."
CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY!
