I do, but nothing that screamed she liked JP better

stlavin95

Thanks!

If you had to pick one thing to change about each core character's arc from each season, what you would pick?

jediwands

Agreed.

jediwands

NP!

jediwands

Oh man, this might take me forever to answer.

It's an excellent question!

You go first!

I am bad at remembering arcs from each season. Not the main ones but do you know what I mean? They all sort of run together for me.

stlavin95

Which people don't get, lol

stlavin95

Okay (Will try and focus on their individual characters as much as possible, instead of their main ships)

Peyton

Season 1 - More focus on her THUD storyline.

Season 2 - Her issues aren't shoved to the side they were and Ellie is introduced earlier.

Season 3 - Ellie doesn't die.

Season 4 - Psycho Derek only attacks once/Real Derek plays a bigger role in the season.

Season 5 - More focus on the struggles of starting her own label.

Season 6 - LP get married at the start of the season/the label starts to have more success.

Lucas

Season 1 - His shoulder injury from the car crash affects him a lot more than it does on the show.

Season 2 - His interest in being an author starts to be explored.

Season 3 - He joins the school newspaper to write some articles.

Season 4 - Whitey starts to mentor him in the finals when Lucas starts to show his interest in coaching after HS ends.

Season 5 - His coaching doesn't get ruined and he proves to be great at rebuilding the Ravens.

Season 6 - The movie or the book doesn't fail, I always hated how both of those failed within one season for Lucas.

Brooke

Season 1 - Her being Bisexual is hinted at throughout the season

Season 2 - We met her parents and the show really explores why Brooke acts the way she does.

Season 3 - Still starts Clothes over Bros, but her interest in making clothes is hinted at the previous seasons.

Season 4 - Brooke remains single this season

Season 5 - Clothes over Bros isn't as successful as it is

Season 6 - Julian isn't Peyton ex (couldn't think of anything else, lol)

Nathan

Season 1 - He still remains a dick for most of the season and he doesn't get emancipated

Season 2 - Moves in with Keith and starts to work at Dan's dealership/the garage

Season 3 - Tim doesn't suddenly leave (This season is more or less perfect for Nathan, so it was hard to think of anything).

Season 4 - No point shaving arc

Season 5 - His injuries kill his NBA career, but happens he gets drafted. Still has the same downhill spiral though

Season 6 - He starts to show some interest in becoming a scout, which leads to him joining the Bobcats in that role.

Haley

Season 1 - NH don't get married (can't think of anything individually for Haley this season)

Season 2 - No tour arc, but her interest in music is still further developed

Season 3 - Doesn't become a cheerleader

Season 4 - Honestly can't think of anything outside of handling NH's pregnancy and their college future differently, lol

Season 5 - Her struggles on becoming a full teacher are focused on a lot more than they were

Season 6 - Lydia's cancer arc happens this season instead of S7 (the show also does a better job showing their close relationship in the previous seasons)

jediwands

^^^ Loved that!

jediwands

Right! LOL.

Some still think Brooke/Lucas and Peyton/Jake was the plan since day 1 even though Brooke was basically an added on character that was never meant to be long-term, lol. Even though Lucas/Peyton was established in THEIR VERY FIRST SCENE OF THE SERIES.

jediwands

These are great ones! Later, I will comment more on your thoughts.

stlavin95

Interested to see what you think

stlavin95

Which is dumb since Lucas barely cared for Brooke in S1 whereas JP were completely platonic

jediwands

Precisely. I don't get the logic in the least.
