Yeah, Mark has said in several interviews that he didn't want to the college years - it's been done too many times before. They showed a commercial after the finale that said when they come back in January we will see what happened in the next four years - but it wasn't anything at all like that preview.

It's the same video, but read the comment. It says:
"Guys please note that this is not the OFFICIAL CW PROMO. It is the SEASON 5 PITCH that MARK threw Dawn Ostroff & The CW Execs BEFORE They knew it was MIDSEASON. So just let you know...it's NOT fake and it's NOT coming back in the FALL. It's STILL January."

But did you see in the video the "About Author" section where Lucas Scott is the head coach of the Tree Hill Ravens and on his to do list is "visit Nathan in the hospital?"

Yes I did and I thought of you and Amy! You guys spoke so highly of Ross' music so I got excited to see they played his music. :]

i loved that show

i read that like if one of the new fall cw shows don't work, oth could replace it before january.. idk though.

Ok, the premeire was good...but what happened to Karen and the baby and to Deb?? They didn't give any insight on that!! Especially when Brooke buys Karen's Cafe...Other than that, it was good, a little heartwrenching, but great!

Karen and Lily are traveling abroad. There's a time Lucas comes in w/ a Postcard for Jamie and it's from Karen and Lily, that particular card was from Ireland and when he goes to put it on the map on his wall, it looked like there were many all over

They didn't say anything about Deb but I'm sure it's something that will show up sooner or later. I thought I saw "Paul Johansson" in the credits for the second episode, so I thought we'd see Dan in jail, but I guess not (or at least I didn't, I think the only part I missed a lil of was at TRIC, my cable's acting up and I had to watch w/ it hooked up via my computer and I tripped the cord...)

Ohhh ok..I think I missed Lucas saying where the postcards were from. I saw him put it on the board, but I didn't catch that...Thank you!!

I just watched the episodes from last night.. Thank god for DVR. ha.. I loved it. I wasn't sure if I would with them skipping 4 yrs, but I thought it was really good. There are so many h.s. drama filled shows out there that it's good for some change.

Oh and little Jamie is so adorable! I love that little boy.. hehe..

Omg! i watched it last night and it was so good! but i can't beilive that nathan is in a wheelchair!! and their little boy is so cute. i can't wait until next weeks episode

Wat is LUKE thinking!?!?! Nooooooo

AHHHHH i hate lucas!!!

That's what I want to know!!!! AHHHH!!!!

Does anyone else think the nanny is a scandelous whore? I sure do!

I'm unsatisfied with the current season of OTH, I feel like old plot lines are being recycled, and that they weakened a lot of their characters. I had really hope the four year jump would be good for the show, but if they really don't start becoming original I think Mark should just tie up loose ends and give a series finale this season, before the show is terminated with no closure. That's just my opinion.

I completely agree - especially with the whole Leyton saga. I hate them together, always have, always will....and it will really suck if the entire season is about will they/won't they. Do they still love eachother...or do they hate eachother?? Hey, sounds just like Dawsons Creek!

I didn't watch last nights episode because Big Brother was on, so I'm going to watch it tonight...but I do hope it gets better soon.... :/

I'm loving this season and think they have done a phenomenal line with the writing. I don't like the nanny storyline, because it's just a little too creepy for me and it would be nice if for just once they would leave Hailey & Nathan alone and let them be happy. I didn't like the proposal because he just kissed Peyton and it's more than obvious that he still has feelings for Peyton. Peyton was pretty much right behind him ~ what did he do run in the house and throw the ring at Lindsey (not to mention it's the same ring he bought for Peyton)....

ehhh....I'm not sure. I think the show has just gotten progressively worse ever since Chris Keller left.......haha

I love this season of OTH. I do agree that a lot of the storylines are being recycled but I think it has to do with tying up loose ends that Mark wasn't able to do b/c of the jump. I think that things will get resolved and new things will happen.

I just remember getting really bored with the show last season and I am the complete opposite this season. I love Brookes character, I can't wait to see where things go with her. I don't like the Carrie stuff so I hope that ends soon. Overall though I think the show is great and I can't wait to see what else they come up with.

The ratings have been great this season too...they have been pretty consistent each week, much better than in the past seasons.
