Chad on Season 5

• "I'm looking forward to [season five]. As of right now, what I do know. Actually it's kinda funny, we're aging four years and I'm still four years older than my character. We, at this point, I know Lucas has put out a book. It's been semi-successful. Everybody's awaiting the release of his second book, but he's having a difficulty, kinda being honest with himself and I think he needs to come back to Tree Hill and figure that out amongst his friends before he hurts anybody or does anything improper. That's my belief. And I know that he's now going to be the coach of the Ravens and he will mentor an eighteen-year-old kid who's probably on the wrong side of the tracks. That's all I know right now, we start filming on the eighteenth of July." ~ Chad at the 2007 Monte Carlo TV Festival
  
  
• "I don't know [what will happen with Lucas and Peyton]; we haven't discussed that. I have no idea what goes on with the relationships in season five... So, I think that most likely Peyton and Lucas will continue that bond and will continue growing together." ~ Chad at the 2007 Monte Carlo TV Festival

Lucas, clearly not buying this, tells the parole board that Dan abandoned him and that Keith was always there for him. Lucas states that he's getting married next week, and that Keith would have been his best man. Lucas asks how a father can hope to be an influence on sons who have never come to visit him in prison.

I thought it would be Lucas and Lindsey of coarse but it happened to be Lucas and Peyton and Haley and Brooke both are there as Peyton’s bridesmaids in matching teal dresses. Peyton kisses Brooke on the cheek and her and Lucas ride away together. Hilarie also filmed a short scene where she just sat in her car outside of the church “thinking” this could be when this dream comes to light" (credit to Taylor)
