Just in time for the election, BuddyTV brings you our list of the 15 worst politicians from TV.
<<PREVIOUS | HOME>>
It's fitting that Dan Scott, who is easily the most evil and morally corrupt character on One Tree Hill, would dabble in politics. Dan successfully convinced the citizens of Tree Hill to elect him mayor, but only after running a smear campaign against his opponent/ex-girlfriend, and producing some fake tears to make the people feel sorry for him. After clawing his way to power, Dan had his brother arrested for a crime he didn't commit, then ended up killing the man after he was acquitted and released from prison. With his twisted determination and ability to manipulate others, Dan could have run for president one day. Too bad those pesky murder charges got in the way.

The latest episodes of One Tree Hill have featured some nice scenes between Nathan and Brooke. The characters don't get a chance to interact often, but when they do they have a certain brand of undeniable chemistry. Nathan was there for Brooke after her violent attack earlier this season, and in the most recent episode he helped her reconnect with Owen. Every time I see the two characters on screen, I find myself wishing they had more scenes together.
The chemistry between Nathan and Brooke could be due to the real life romance between actors James Lafferty and Sophia Bush. We wrote about the rumors surrounding the two way back in January, but now Kristin at E!Online has officially confirmed the relationship. Not only are James and Sophia dating, but her ex-husband Chad Michael Murray approves of the pairing.

Last night's episode of One Tree Hill was my favorite of the season by far. I've often complained that Lucas is rarely given anything interesting to do, but "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe" finally sent the character in an exciting new direction. The episode found charming movie producer Julian coming to town to convince Lucas to turn An Unkindness of Ravens into a major motion picture. Not only does Julian have a mysterious connection to Peyton, but his movie pitch allowed the characters to make plenty of brilliant meta references that poked fun at the series itself. For the first time in ages, Lucas' plot line was actually the best part of a One Tree Hill episode.

Last week's episode of One Tree Hill taught us that adopting a wayward teenager isn't as easy as adopting a new hairstyle. Brooke's first days living with Sam were more difficult than she expected thanks to the teen's desire to sneak out at night. While the battle raged on in Brooke's household, Lucas and Peyton indulged in their own domestic wars. Peyton worried that things would change between them after they moved in together, but everything was fine once they stopped paying attention to B. Davis magazine. Aside from that drama, Jamie dealt with a bully at school, Mouth got his old job back, and Haley rocked out at the waterfront.
Tonight on One Tree Hill, a hotshot movie producer comes to town with the plan to turn An Unkindness of Ravens into a major motion picture. He also has an interesting secret that's bound to stir up some drama.

BuddyTV interviews Austin Nichols, who plays Julian Baker on One Tree Hill.
Lucas' small-town life will be shaken up in a big way on this Monday's episode of One Tree Hill. The new installment, fittingly titled "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe," finds an interesting character named Julian Baker coming to town. Julian is a hotshot movie producer looking to turn An Unkindness of Ravens into a major motion picture, but the fact that he has a past connection with Peyton may lead to trouble. Actor Austin Nichols (John from Cincinnati, Friday Night Lights) plays the snarky Hollywood bigwig, and he's currently contracted to appear in 10 episodes this season.
I recently had a chance to sit down with Austin to discuss his role on the show, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming noir episode written by Chad Michael Murray.

It doesn't take long for rumors to swirl around the Internet. About two weeks ago The Hollywood Reporter announced that One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn had signed on for a seventh season of the hit drama. The CW hasn't officially renewed the series for another year, but the network is currently weighing the decision and negotiating with cast members to sign on for season 7. The rumor, which may or may not be true, is that every cast member aside from Chad Michael Murray has signed on the dotted line. This raises the question: Could One Tree Hill survive without Lucas?

One of the best episodes of One Tree Hill's fifth season was "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know," which found Brooke, Peyton, Haley, Lindsey and Mia getting locked in the school library. Not only did all the action in the episode take place in one location, but it allowed us the opportunity to see interesting character interactions that the series previously hadn't taken advantage of. It was a blast watching Peyton (Hilarie Burton) and Haley throw down with Lindsey, and it was even fun seeing Brooke chat with Mia. The episode proved that One Tree Hill is at its best when it shakes off its usual formula and allows for odd character pairings.
After watching last night's episode, I'm more convinced than ever that the Tree Hill twentysomethings need some fresh interactions.

Last week's episode of One Tree Hill found Dan and Jamie sharing some bonding time, Brooke opening up to Peyton about her mugging, and Lucas starting and ending his book tour. The only person who showed up to see Lucas promote The Comet was Mouth, who promptly decided to move back to Tree Hill to be near Millicent and his friends. While Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) experienced a major professional setback, Nathan pondered a future career as a Slamball player.
On tonight's One Tree Hill, Jamie faces off with a school bully who dares to insult his cape, and Lucas and Peyton adjust to living together.
