Mark Schwahn will forever be remembered for creating one of the biggest underdog television stories in history. Always known as the “little show that could”; when “One Tree Hill” first premiered in September of 2003, it was hard for anyone to imagine it would be nine years before the final farewell would air. The series survived multiple time switches, time jumps and spanned across two television networks and truly became a landmark drama. For nine years Schwahn told the stories of the characters of Tree Hill through multiple dimensions while always coming back to its core themes of love, family and friendship. And no doubt the viewers have always returned to the coming of age show to watch those characters they came to know and love. And that is why went it came to writing the final chapter Schwahn knew he wanted it to be a heartfelt thank you to the fans. His gratitude for them was highly apparent when I had the honor of interviewing him at Warner Brothers 60th Anniversary Television Out Of The Box Paley Center Exhibit last week. Schwahn reflected back on the series finale, his favorite Tree Hill storylines, and shared an exclusive secret on those famous voice-overs that brought heart to the show that will forever go down in television history!

Congrats on nine years and a wonderful series finale! I wrote in my article on the episode that it felt like a thank you letter to the fans.

Sophia Bush was glowing last night as she hosted the Origins Rocks Earth Month Concert at Webster Hall in NYC, and it wasn’t because she’s been enjoying some down time since her hit show One Tree Hill wrapped. Actually, Sophia admits she hasn’t had any down time since shooting ended in November!

“It’s been interesting,” Sophia told OK! at the concert last night of life after OTH. “I miss seeing our camera operators and our wardrobe department and the grips everyday, but I missed being home so much! It’s so wonderful to be there.”

“And I thought I was going to have all this down time… and I’ve never been busier in my life! I’m scheduled everyday from 8 a.m. to midnight just running into the ground,” she admits. “So, I haven’t had the down time I’m looking for yet, but I feel great, I feel incredibly fulfilled, I’m happier than I’ve ever been!”

It’s always fun to interview Stephen Colletti! Always with a great sense of humor on hand, Colletti almost immediately began joking around when I met up with him at the opening of the Warner Brothers Television Out Of The Box exhibit at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills last week. He was there on behalf of the veteran Warner Brothers series “One Tree Hill”, which wrapped its ninth and final season earlier this month. It could easily be seen how proud and grateful Colletti was for his entire Tree Hill journey; as we chatted about the series finale, his favorite storyline; as well as what his special words of advice are for the dedicated “One Tree Hill” fans that stood by the show for nine years!

Congrats on wrapping “One Tree Hill”! It was a great finale.
