Exact details are unknown right now, but rest assured, the old scheming Dan Scott is making a comeback!” He will be threatening someone’s life but at least he won’t be threatening the life of a family member.
- Ausiello reveals that “When Clay starts to sleepwalk, his attempt to remedy the situation (hint: illegal drugs!) puts Quinn in harm’s way (hint: gun gets pointed at her!). Elsewhere, after Julian forgets one of the twins in the car, Brooke is going to react in a big way”.
- TVGuide tells us that “Clay is going spend a significant amount of time with a shrink this season after he suffers some unexplained blackouts. The good news: The therapist is an old friend, having helped Clay through his grief after Sara’s death. The bad news: Fixing this current problem might require Clay admitting himself to the loony bin.”
- EW announced that Chelsea Kane is moving into Tree Hill. Kane will play “Tara,” a rival Café owner to Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and Brooke (Sophia Bush). She will appear in one of the early episodes of the finale season.
- Pierce Gagnon will be playing Logan, a smart for his age (6 years old), optimistic and wide-eyed kid. Logan has had a difficult childhood but looks on the bright side of things.
- Dax Griffin will be playing Chuck’s Dad on a recurring role.
- Still no news on if Chad Michael Murray or Hilarie Burton will be back but Murray tellsE!Online,
“I honestly haven’t heard a word. I haven’t heard anything. I know how much the fans want it, and for the fans, I think I would definitely do that. Absolutely.”
