KAREN: Look, I know he’s got a lotta music connections and I know how important that is to you. But I won’t have drugs in my club Peyton!

PEYTON: Of course.

KAREN: And I don’t expect you to handle everything on your own… but you have to come to me if… anything like that ever happens again.

PEYTON: I will.

KAREN: Promise?

PEYTON: I promise.

KAREN: Good. You know you can always talk to me Peyton

“Hilarie and I were talking about how it has to end at some point. When you are performer you get into your characters and you love them and you work them and you grow with them, but at some point, it all has to come to an end. The beauty is to reflect back on where that character began. When I think of the character of Peyton, the first images are so gothic. I told Hilarie, you had really curly blonde hair and you were this tough chick when the show started. I said Hilarie think about how that character developed – that is a body of work. And so you take that with you. Leaving is never easy, but it is also very exciting. Hilarie has so much more going on and she is going to be fine. She has a great sensibility for the business. She is going to do really well. She is a very smart young actress.” - Moira Kelly
