Goodnight, One Tree Hill pt 2

The last quotes from Ep 9 x 13:

Nathan: It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re planning for someday, and then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today and then someday is yesterday and this is your life.

Haley: We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming.

Brooke: If you had a friend you need and never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it. Do it. Don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever.

Mouth: Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want.

Millie: Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.

Quin: You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from.

Clay: The next memory, the next smile. The next wish come true.

Chase: But if you believe that it’s right there on the corner,

Chris Keller: And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it,

Skills: It just might get the thing you wished for.

Julian: The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it.

Brooke: So make your wish. Do you have it?

Nathan: Good. Now believe in it.

Haley: With all your heart…

There is only One Tree Hill. And it’s our home.

There is only one Tree Hill

In your life you’re going to go to some great places, and you’re going to do some wonderful things. But no matter where you go or who you become, this place will always be with you. There is only One Tree Hill. And it’s your home.

Goodnight, One Tree Hill

For some, it was just a teenage show fueled by hormones,

for others it’s nothing but a bunch of kids getting in all kinds of trouble,

but fr me, for us who’s been with them for almost a decade, this show is every teenager struggling through the complex travails of life, love and friendship.

It’s hard to say goodbye when you’ve learned so much. But alas, even the greatest things have to end. So to Tree Hill, to my home, I bid you Goodnight.

***The article below is a recollection of Bethany Joy’s One Tree Hill journey, written by Joy herself.

Well, tonight at 8pm One Tree Hill will air it’s final episode ever, after 9 seasons. I couldn’t let today go by without paying homage to the show where I grew up, where I learned some of my most important life lessons, where I learned about being part of a team and being a professional, and where I fell in love with a little town and its beautiful people.

I remember my screen test for the character of “Reagan” (later to be changed to “Haley”). During my test I was in a room full of executives while reading the scene with Chad Michael Murray and there were about 4 other girls going for the part, waiting in the hallway. There was a moment about halfway through the reading when I was sitting next to Chad and I playfully knocked the side of his leg with mine. I felt the energy of the whole room shift and I knew at that moment I had gotten the part. As I walked out to my car, Chad chased me down on the WB parking lot and said “Bethany!” I turned and he gave me a big hug, saying, “Congratulations.” I smiled thinking that was very sweet of him but I’d been in this business long enough to know that nothing’s for sure until you see it on screen. Sure enough, a few hours later I got a phone call that I had 7 days to pack up my life and move to Wilmington, North Carolina.

The first 2 months in Wilmington I lived in a hotel because we were told every day “It’s only a matter of time before this show gets cancelled… don’t’ get too comfortable.” Eventually I moved into a short term rental at Wrightsville beach when it seemed like things weren’t quite as “on the bubble” as everyone said and I started to really find my niche in this little beach town. I’d grown up to 12 in Texas so I’ve always had an affinity for the South, and this place was so cozy and the people were so sweet. Mr. Daughtry’s book store on Front St., Port City Java, Island Passage, Oliver, Brasserie du Soliel, Roy’s Riverboat Landing, Tower 7, Hallelu, Beanie & Cecil, Kilwins, Firebelly, City Stage, Deluxe and so many more places became our staple local haunts. The spanish moss everywhere, the smell of the sea, the gorgeous sunsets invigorated me. I would walk on the beach in the moonlight with a cup of coffee before the sunrise. I would run out in the hot southern rain wearing a sundress and walk all over the neighborhood, just BEING in the elements. I wrote a millions songs and poems. And that was my off-time.

I loved going to work every day. I loved the people I was working with. I developed a heart-stopping crush on Craig Sheffer (Uncle Keith) for about 3 years, who was thankfully too much of a gentlemen to ever do anything about it, but it was a running joke for years how infatuated with him I was. I was equally as enamored of the mind-bogglingly elegant-and-tough-at-the-same-time Moira Kelly. It took everything in me not to say “”Toe-pick!” to her just once. Barry Corbin was terribly intimidating, though he is certainly the sweetest man alive! As for the rest of us, we were kids from 5 drastically different backgrounds, thrust into what seemed at times to be a survival of the fittest experiment, and finding our way together.

As the years went on we fought and made up, we learned from each other, we got in trouble, we grew as actors, we grew as people, and we were given a ridiculous amount of grace by our crew & producers. When I think of some of the things we put them through, I’m so grateful for the classy way they handled guiding us through. The crew on a set can really make or break you as an actor. Our crew was respectful of our work space, graceful enough to create an environment where you feel free to be vulnerable without judgement, fun enough to laugh and play with us and real enough to make it clear when someone was being an ass.

I learned more on 9 years of One Tree Hill than I did in 12 years of schooling (My apologies to the great teachers I had throughout school, but it’s true). It’s funny looking back… youth really is wasted on the young, ha!

So, I just want to say thank you to everyone who invested in our show. You didn’t just provide me with a lifestyle or job. You were part of giving me experiences that have molded who I am and that have prepared me for the next leg of my journey in life, which is going to be a drastic change in many ways. In a strange way, an indirect way… I supposed we raised each other.

As you sit down with your friends to watch tonight’s series finale, remember my gratitude to you and my sincere hope that we will continue to encounter journeys together, even if we never meet. My heart is full and warm and so very very grateful. YOU are the only reason tonight is possible. May God bless you in strange, great, unimaginable ways. All my love!

Joy

All the memories, life lessons, enigmatic characters we relate to… these things are what we keep with us. The show ends, but the influence it holds on us remains. Tree Hill is home. :(

Nine years in Tree Hill

Let me lay it down for you guys. I was about 10 when I started watching this show on the local cable, yeah, it was kinda young but even back then I had good taste for tv shows. :) But anyway, back then, there’s a day in every week that I would skip chitchat after school and go straight home to watch the show (it airs at 1pm in the PHL). My mom told me I was too young to appreciate it but I still watched anyway because I knew I understood it. And ‘One Tree Hill’, the show that I’ve loved and watched for nine looong years ending next week, that I couldn’t fathom just yet.

I’m sure many people would share my opinion that this show is the best that’s ever been made for TV. I mean, the characters are so real, so pained that you see yourself fit right there with them. The events that occurred in Tree Hill, they’re tragic and they are reflective of our own struggles. The relationships formed is shaky and solid at the same time - it’s vulnerable but it has held on. I think that’s why people like me love it so much, enough to stick to it and not be the least bit bored about it. The purity, the love, the friendship, the life lessons that just kept on and on. Again my mom would say, you’re being too attached to that show, and Yes, I have been, I am still. It served as a companion, and a friend for nine years. It had been my reference for family problems, girl issues, guy struggles, and just about any problem a normal teenager would encounter. ‘One Tree Hill’ ending next week makes me feel like I’m losing a friend, and that this is my time to say goodbye. See the thing is I can’t, not yet. So, I’ll just have to deal with it later. By ‘deal with it’ I meant bawl like a baby and cry my heart out. But until then, I’m going back to square 1 and watch it all unfold before me again for the nth time. I’ll miss this show, definitely. But it doesn’t end for me in a way because what I see there on the screen has occurred to me and to people around me. And next week, while Nathan-Haley, Brooke-Julian, Quin-Clay, and Mouth-Millie have their happy endings, I’ll know that I’ll also have mine. Forever and Always, One Tree Hill. You’ve been home to me like nothing else. You’ll be missed, terribly.
