James Lafferty

Nathan Scott is turning in his basketball for a headset. James Lafferty revealed on Aug. 25 that he’s actually stepping behind the camera, alongside ‘One Tree Hill’ creator, Mark Schwahn on ‘The Royals!’

James Lafferty may not have been at the One Tree Hill reunion in Montreal last weekend, but it looks like he had a really good reason to miss it. He was in the director’s chair in London, next to Mark Schwahn! We could not be more excited…

Warning: Don’t read this post until you’ve watched the ‘One Tree Hill’ series finale. It contains so many beautiful spoilers.

Mark Schwahn told me he wanted to make the series finale feel like “a quintessential One Tree Hill episode,” and that’s exactly what he delivered April 4: introspective voiceovers, unforgettable performances, and a look into the future that wrapped up nine years of story into an hour-long love letter to the fans of “the little show that could.”

The series finale of ‘One Tree Hill’ is just two days away! Is your heart prepared?

The whole gang is coming together for the One Tree Hill series finale — including Nathan (James Lafferty), who’s been recurring throughout this final season — and now The CW has gifted us with the first photos from the last episode. Photos reveal Brooke (Sophia Bush) and Julian (Austin Nichols) making eyes at each other in the newly re-built halls of Tree Hill High, as well as everyone celebrating at Karen’s Café.

Dan finally earns his son’s love & gets a surprise visitor from ‘Tree Hill’ past! This was the most emotional episode of the season.

Jamie’s (Jackson Brundage) words “He’ll be alright, he’s Grandpa Dan,” echoed throughout the hospital on the March 21 episode of One Tree Hill, as everyone came together after Dan (Paul Johansson) took a a bullet for Nathan (James Lafferty).

Fans of Nathan Scott found out they can all rest easy — for now!

Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) was called down to the morgue to identify a body believed to be Nathan (James Lafferty) on the Feb. 29 episode of One Tree Hill — but those tears we saw in the previews turned out to be tears of joy, because Nathan was NOT in the body bag! In her desperate state, Haley even did the unthinkable and turned to Dan Scott (Paul Johannson) for help solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearance. It’s safe to say that hell has frozen over.

Let’s get real for a second: Someone’s about to be fixing cars with Uncle Keith in heaven.

As the final season of One Tree Hill marches on, we’re slowly getting explanations for the shocking flash-forward sequence seen on the premiere — and on the Feb. 29 episode, we’ll finally figure out whose corpse Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) has to identify at the morgue! So who does the mystery body belong to? To figure that out, we’ll have to play my favorite game ever: Tree Hill Corpse Roulette! (Actually, that’s my second favorite game. My first is Dream Phone.)

Nathan’s new foe makes Nanny Carrie look like Mother Teresa! We’re kind of worried.

On the Feb. 15 episode of One Tree Hill, viewers finally found out where Nathan (James Lafferty) is — sort of. It turns out he’s been kidnapped! Also, people in Europe take basketball way too seriously. Apparently, Nathan tried to sign a player who was the “property” of someone else. (It’s just a sport. Winning isn’t everything, remember?!) Unfortunately, his family and friends back in Tree Hill are still left in the dark.

James Lafferty tells HollywoodLife.com about the ‘bad situation’ Nathan gets into & reveals his favorite storyline from the series.

The final season of One Tree Hill is going to be an intense one for all of our favorite characters, but it sounds like Nathan (James Lafferty) is going to have a particularly rough go of things. And since we’ve all heard the rumors about his mysterious disappearance from Tree Hill,  HollywoodLife.com couldn’t help but ask him for more details.

“Nathan gets into a situation where he’s powerless to control his fate, which is not something he’s used to dealing with,” James tells us. “It’s probably his biggest test yet.”

Sex, corpses, and endless emotional montages — Tree Hill hasn’t changed one bit!

One Tree Hill returned for its ninth and final season Jan. 11, and it was all sunshine and rainbows from start to finish — well, as long as you don’t count the arson, vandalism, arrests, assaults and dead bodies. I almost forgot about those.

HollywoodLife.com took a trip to Tree Hill, and it sounds like the show’s ninth season might just be its craziest yet!

Well, kids, the day we’ve looked forward to — and also dreaded — is almost here. The final season of One Tree Hill premieres at 8 p.m. tomorrow (Jan. 11) on The CW, and I was fortunate enough to be on the show’s Wilmington, N.C., set to get the scoop straight from the stars! Bethany Joy Galeotti sums the whole thing up pretty nicely (“near death experiences, jealousy, psychotic breakdowns, post-traumatic stress”), but let’s see what the other residents of Tree Hill have to say about what they’ll be up to during the show’s final run.

Check out our very first preview video of ‘One Tree Hill’ season 9! Which character are YOU most excited to see again?

One Tree Hill fans, our wait is almost over! The show is returning for its ninth (and tragically final) season Jan. 11, and the sweet blessed angels at The CW have granted us a 52-second teaser video. Along with a super-intense voice over from Nathan (James Lafferty) — “hell is empty, and all the devils are here” — we also get our first official look at Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) back in Tree Hill. It’s OK, you can squee now!

Keep that bed warm, Haley! Daddy’s comin’ home!

Here’s some news that’s sure to make baby Lydia — and longtime “Naley” fans — smile: Zap2it has confirmed that, despite his absence during most of season nine, James Lafferty will be back for One Tree Hill‘s series finale.
