You’re brave for watching anything post-S6. LOL.

Probably not, think he had already agreed to return when he did.

jediwands

So Monster trapped him.

stlavin95

Most likely

jediwands

Shocked he even wanted him to return for an episode. Probably wanted Hilarie more. Maybe that’s why he took it out on Chad.

All I know is he could have really screwed it up by having Lucas say they split up or were having issues. Thank God Lucas/Peyton weren’t messed with as a pairing. He messed with them in S7-S9 based on comments by the characters which made them look like they didn’t care about them which was bad enough.

stlavin95

Think Chad did it for the fans

Not sure he wanted Hilarie back at all considering she never got asked back at all

jediwands

Probably so with Chad.

He knew she’d say no. But in his mind he wanted her. I think not only is he a monster but delusional as well. The character he played on OTH in looking back is just bizarre given what we know about him.

stlavin95

He said as much

That's definitely true

Edit: Do you think that the time jump between seasons 4 and 5 should have been longer than 4 years?

jediwands

Never thought about it really. Could’ve done maybe another 4/5 years and it would’ve been OK. Still would’ve put them in their mid-late 20s.

Riverdale did a 7 year time jump. Seems to be a good number.

stlavin95

Think 7 years like Riverdale would have worked well

Definitely would have explained their careers a bit better and plus I think they weren’t written like 22 years olds anyways, lol

stlavin95

So true

jediwands

That's true, it was off, lol.

jediwands

LOL!

Which is so interesting because both Rachel and Peyton were independent women overall. Writing was so messy.

stlavin95

Sure was, lol

stlavin95

Yes they were
