In a strategy designed to give producers time to make a significant creative change, the hit drama ONE TREE HILL will be held until midseason. When it returns, the story will have advanced four years and the characters will have already graduated from college. Online digital diaries will premiere in the fall, allowing fans to learn what happened during the college years, and will lead into the midseason series return.

Due to the fact of a midseason premiere for our show meaning it will most likely return early 2008 we’re going to be swamped with spoilers for the filmed episodes. We’ve already have a massive amount of pictures, sides/dialogues and other spoilers so we’ve decided to make an entirely livejournal called the Brucas League LJ dedicated to Brooke & Lucas spoilers and all other related material.

For now all the sides and photos we have gotten so far and will in the future will be posted on our livejournal to keep this opening from not getting to hard to read.

All I've heard about Lucas and a 'new girl' - is that there is a fun and flirtatious relationship - but I don't know if that is to mean that they are friends or business associates who flirt, or are actually involved. From what I know L/P ended as a result of following different paths and that they drifted apart and just went their separate ways.

I think, unfortunately, that both L/P and B/L fans will get bones most of the season and that it won't be until much later in the season that Lucas actually ends up with either of them. Specifically, the first storyline arc does not apparently include any L/P or B/L actually together but does give certain 'hope' for each ship in the form of something Lucas relays in a discussion (this may be a voiceover not an actual discussion that isn't clear). Lucas has a sort of 'speech'. I am unclear on if it is a discussion he is having or a voiceover. I think it's for ep. 2 but these are early days. Regardless, neither Brooke nor Peyton are aware of it and he is not leading them on. Lucas essentially acknowledges his feelings (past tense) for each of them, thus why I said it will give hope to each fanbase.

There is apparently reference to Brooke having had one love 'many years ago'. It is definitely Lucas. It's in the outline specifically and comes up after Brooke is asked a question. There is a hesitation (in the outline this hesitation is specified as her thinking of Lucas - whether or not a flashback would accompany this or it would be left to speculate about is unclear) Her answer to this question indicates that Yes, there was this one guy she loved.

They do all meet up at the Rivercourt 4 years later (as foreshadowed in the finale) but I don't yet know the reason.
