OTH General Discussion Thread #4: There's still so much to talk about.
 

Continue :)

Thanks for the new one.

No problem. Should probably give it an OP, but idk what.

Not sure what you can put it in really.

Definitely not going to be an easy one.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I'll have to figure something out.

Maybe some photos through the seasons maybe?

That might be the best option.

Yeah it probably is.

Rewatching OTH questions and opinions !!!
 

Alright guys so OTH was and still I my favourite series ever. I was a massive addict when it was airing due to the great blend of sport and music along with the fact that you could invest in all the main characters , as they all had interesting stories on there own which isn't the case in most shows where you are only invested in one or two of the characters.

Anyways like I said have recently rewatched the whole series 1-6 ( I consider the real OTH only watched half of 7 as it felt like a totally different show when Peyton and Lucus left filled with silly plotlines and too much extra screen time) and its even better then I remember it being

Since rewatching its brought back a lot of memories and question that I hope you can help with

Is there a confirmed reason why Chad and Hilarie left the show? As like a said the show IMO never recovered

Was Jake always supposed to leave or did the actor Bryan choose to? I ask as I think he was a pretty good character

Team Leyton or Brucus?

Look forward to talking with fellow fans

Hi, welcome to :ff: and the OTH board.

I agree it was a different show after LP left. It wasn't the same for me, either.

As far as we know, Chad left because he wanted to move on (although with recent developments I have doubts). Hilarie left due to constant sexual harassment and assault by Mark Schwahn (just typing his full name makes me shudder).

Not sure about Bryan. I believe he was busy with other projects at the time.

Leyton, always :)

Looking forward to talking to you, too.

Chad wanted more money, plus he wasn't that interested in playing Lucas. Hilarie seems to have left because she didn't want to deal with an toxic environment anymore.

I think Bryan had other projects, but at the same time Jake wasn't designed to be an long term character imo.

Leyton easily

Hey guys good to see fellow Leyton shippers haha still think there one of the best tv couple ever although I did quite like Brooke and Lucas. Like I said I couldn't really watch after series 6 as the show never recovered and I think that would have been the case with any of the two main characters leaving as the were all as important as each outside maybe Lucas who was the focal point of the show.

So Chad wanted more money?? I know recent things have come to light but do you think Hilarie would have chosen to stay on if Chad had signed back up?

Anybody got a fav season/Character?

I do think that's the case with a show losing multiple main regulars. Greys wasn't the same after it lost Izzie and George in quick succession, imo.

I would hope that she wouldn't have. Tbh it upsets me a little that Joy and Sophia did considering what was going on, but Sophia seems to have explained that - she didn't want to let him take Brooke from her.
