Thank you for not listing the One Tree Hill dreaded wedding day of L & P, the two “holdouts” for next season. I truly believe they’ve surpassed Mouth and Millie as Tree Hill’s most wretchedly-boring couple. And now they’re adding “baby” next week—oh freakin’ joy.
While it’s tempting to blame CMM for the on-screen boredom, I have to put Mark Schwahn and his writing team on the fire instead. A season that started so soapy and fun and watercoolerish….has degenerated into nothing more than watching boys and girls walk thru scenes talking. Way to “reinvent” yourself, Mark. Let’s hope for a whole new philosophy in 2009….you know, escapist, shocking drama. Pretend you’re writing for “Passions” for once.
