No one could have predicted how well BL would work on screen together & how much a large portion of the audience would respond to them, & when that happens you have to go back to the drawing board a little and rethink you're plan. Which I honestly think they did, after season 1 I did not see the writers going back to BL tbh. But they knew there was a lot more of that story to tell & that CS would just do an amazing job with it.
& maybe if things had gone differently between CS, BL would have been handled properly too...I mean they had to break up sometime, but I would have like them to be friends. & like you said, 9 eps just wasn't enough time for Lucas to get over Brooke & decide that he wanted Peyton instead.
