Post Your Predictions: OTH Four Years Into the Future

As we reported a few days ago, there's a chance that if OTH gets the Season Five renewal, the characters will pick up their storylines four years into the future (so they'll actually be much closer to their real-life ages). This got us wondering... where do you see the OTH characters four years from now? What will their jobs be? Will they all still live in Tree Hill? Will any of them (besides Nathan and Haley, of course) be married? Who'll still be friends?

Post your OTH future predictions here!

I love Brook, and I think that she and Lukas was adorable together, but Brook is`nt righ for him, she is`n that into music or books, and Peyton and Lukas just gets eatch oher on a intelectual level.

But its not High school any moore, so Im wondering if maybe maybe just to shock us all they will have Lucas marrying Linsday. If they dont get married, I think its gonna be Lindsays desition, somthing like "I believe that you love me, you just love her more." for reason.

I think that Nathan and Haley will survive..

I wish Karen comes back...and I wanna see little Lily, they should at least be gueststaring for his wedding, right?

Skills...and Bevin? What happent there? I loved Bevin! I think Mouth and Millicent is perfect together..

So my bottom vote goes to Lukas and Peyton.

I love leyton
leyton for the life!!!

I would like peyton and lucas stay together because it's a beautiful couple and I hate brooke.

I want Brucas in the season 5

lucas ond brooke forever i like brookaaaaaaaaaaaas

NOW SAVE ONE TREE HILL.i told my self breing back jake&jenny. me i never parsolne like payton she backstaber sneak behind brooke back with lucas i just looked at this way brooke leaveing both behind forget bout um cause lucas new better too. beside that for me it was always brooke&lucas go their own way soon get married and have kids............brooke go back to clother designer lucas stay at home dad. haley&naten while u guys got that alresdy...........

COME BACK ONE TREE HILL UR FANS ARE WAITING WE LOVE U ALWASY N FOREVER

BRUCAS !!!!!!!!

I LOVE BRUCAS !!
I HATE LEYTON !!

I WANT BRUCAS IN SEASON 5 !!

leyton ,leyton ,leyton ,brook is too selfish with all her friend. i hate her she's the most hated charcter ever in paris, so don't make her with lucas. because lucas is a dummy with her, leyton forever he have a gooood chemistry with peyton. i don't get what you like in brooke she's a pure bi**h and an hypochritical attitude

Brookas !!!! I love brookas !! please I want Brookas love


Sorry for my english.


BROOKAS FOREVER BROOKAS FOREVER BROOKAS4EVER BROOKAS4EVER BROOKAS4EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark bring brucas back please !!!!!!!!
OTH without brucas is'nt OTH!
They are so cute, so funny so romantic .... their are the best !!!!

we love brucas !!!

sorry i forgot words, i would say, leyton are friends nothing more and OTH WITHOUT BRUCAS IS NOT OTH FOR ME
Sophia Bush is the best actress of the show, and in France we love her so much, she's the most popular
SOPHIA AND BROOKE ROCK !!!!!

the most important : brooke and lucas together again and forever, they meant to be together, they're so cute together and their love is true and so romantic
I hate leyton, they're so boring, they're just nothing more, like laley for example !!!!

BRING BRUCAS BACK THE BEST COUPLE EVER, OTH WITHOUT OTH IS NOT OTH FOR ME !!!!

Brooke a famous designer, lucas a great writer, happy together with a wonderful wedding in the end. SO PERFECT
I want to see jake come back, i love this guy and he's perfect for miss darkness, they are such chemistry between them, like brucas.
And to finish, Nathan and Haley happy together, haley a good teacher in Tree Hill High School and Nathan will be the Ravens Coach.

But before that, i repeat bring brucas back please !!!!!!!!!

I'm french so my english is not so good, i'm sorry.
I just want to say that i'm think the idea of leyton (lucas + peyton) reunion is really ridiculous.
they are so better friends.
I really want to see brooke and lucas together and this time it will be forever. brooke should be pregnant at the end of season5.
I love naley too.
Mark don't forget the BL fans !!
BRUCAS FOREVER !!

Please Andy back, he was so awesome...

brooke and lucas should be together !!!!!

The season 4 was really really good.leyton can't finish so fast after that . they will be together and it's were so cute to see peyton and brook preignant in the same time!nathan and haley live happy and have a lot off baby!!!^^

I didn't really understand why Brooke broke up with Lucas in the season4... "because he wasn't there for her?"... it's a bit light for an explanation...
so a come back for Brucas, it's obliged. Why Leyton in season4? honestly ? Lucas loves Brooke but 2 or 3 dasy after he loves Peyton because She has said she loved him.
Brucas in season5 mark. Think seriously about it... you don't wanna disapoint lot of fans of OTH... like in season4...
thx ... ofr this great show ^^

Ok this is what i think will happen in the 5th season. i've been reading the other comments and some are saying that they think karen and dan will get back together and/or dan will once again run for mayor, well i just don't see that happening since well he is in jail for MURDER!!!!!

i think lucas and brooke should once again be together!!! maybe when they talk about what happened right after high school peyton and lucas where together then broke up and lucas got back together with brooke and then peyton and brooke both find out they are pregnant with lucas's baby!!!! so lucas is faced with the same disicion dan was faced, but since lucas is a better man he stays with brooke but helps peyton out so he does not abondon either one.

i think nathen and haley will still be happily married with a second child one the way!!!

as for jobs i think lucas will be the coach of the ravens basketball team while also persuing his dream of becoming a famous author. peyton will be a well known artist as well as club owner.brooke will be a fashion designer.haley will sometime sing for clubs but will mainly be a teacher. nathen will be a pro basketball player. and rachel will be a model. as for mouth well as brooke said in season two on the time capsule he will probly be senetor. bevin and skills will still be together.now as for tragedy, because we all know that there will be at least one tragic thing in this season, maybe peyton gets cancer because, if you remember in season 3 peytons birth mom showed up and died from cancer and told peytons father that she may be at risk, so that is a possibility. also something could happen to lucas with his heart. i hope nobody dies in this season because that is too tragic i think.i think karen will be once again a sucsessful single mother with help from lucas.
i also think everyone will be living in tree hill. as for jake and jenny- i would love to see there return, and peyton and jake getting back together ( if lucas and peyton are broken up and peyton is not pregnat- which as i said before would make it interesting but i think peyton and brooke getting pregnat with lucas's baby is unlikly). well that is what could happen in the next season but there really is no limit to what could happen in season 5, espesially since mark schwahn is a terific writer and very good at writing the unexpected, yet thrilling episodes of the best show on t.v. ONE TREE HILL!!!!!!

BRUCAS FOREVER BRUCAS FOREVER BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS FOREVER
BRUCAS debit to come back tu the world the know lucas to doing what 2 declaration in the live and the forever for brooke
lucas and brooke forever

For this season 5 would be formidable:
- To see the Naley family increasing(growing), Nathan in the Basketball and what small James begins!
- See again(revise) a return of brucas, because leyton are friendly - Lucas ecrivain, Brooke stylist, always friendly with Rachel - Bevin and Skills always together! 4ever - Dan in prison but always nasty
To you the suiiite!;) Brucas and Naley 4everr

I love one tree hill and I think in the next seasons Dan shoude admit that he had a relation wiht a woman, 17 year ago and had a kide with her a girl and he find out she and her gril are moveing to tree hill. I think that could bring and new look to the show.

brucas forever !!!!!!!!!

I think Naley should be Marriedand thriving with two kids and about beginning of season they should find out their pregnant again. Brooke should be with Chase still taking it slow. Lucas and Peyton should be together. Then Lucas and Chase should get together and plan about how their going to propose to their girls. They do in the beginning, get married. Then middle season Peyton ends up preggers. So shes a few months behind Haley. She ends up having triplets, towards the end of season. Haley has a girl. Then at the end of season Brooke and Chase adopt kids because they think they can't have kids. Then at the end of the season they get pregnant. WoooHooo!! Karen has her daughter. And the cafe, and tric which she has a partnership with Peyton. Dan is on death row!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Okay jobs: Peyton has the partnership with Karen and she owns her own music/art magazine; Lucas is the high school basketball coach, since Whitey retired he also writes in his free time; Nathan got kinda smart and now he's a biology teacher; Haley's a teacher/singer, she only sings sometimes;Chase is a lawyer; and Brooke still runs Clothes over Bros; Mouth and Racheal and Bevin and Skills are in the story too just not big characters. Leyton lives in Tree Hill. Naley lives in Charlotte. And Brase lives in New York, but they all move home in the end. TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!1

There's just one thing i hated the most.

That ANDY from season 2 left.

Now that Keith is gone and Dan should either die or rot in prison, it would be sweet as if the producers would write Andy back into the show.

He and Karen were my all time favourite side couple.

I'm not here to post my predications because really, anything could happen.

But i think one of the major reasons why the possibility of OTH returning 4 years later, is because for the past 4 years (4 seasons), nothing much has changed (and i mean this in a good way).

For example:
Karen still has a cafe (there wont be any reason for it to be gone in the next 4 years)

Haley love for music was always there. The possiblity of her moving into a music career remains reasonably high.

The reasons why we fell in love with OTH still remain true and true. Its been made as realistic as possible, so much so like our everyday lives, that we can relate to it on such a deep level.

Good job! I am a hardcore OTH fan. Unfortunately, I'm in Aust, and they dont air OTH on free to air telly. So i watch it online and buy the complete dvd set when it comes out.

Keep rocking.

Peyton & lucas are perfect together brooke & lucas were good together but not anymore. Brooke & chase 4 ever. mouth & rachel together 4 ever. nathen & hailey are perfect together they will always be together no matter what. Brooke & Chris keller never!

All right some of the above predictions I believe will most likely not happen because its only four years (hello nathan and haleys son playing on the tree hill bball team, he'll be four!!!)

Lucas~ he'll be the coach of the ravens, his novel will be published and completed after the highschool senior year, and he will have the college novel on the way
Nathan~ married to haley still, living in Tree Hill
Haley ~ still married to Nathan, working on her music career in Tree Hill, working as a teacher at the Highschool,
NALEY~ together raising their son, happily, together forever,
Mouth~ running for Tree Hill Mayor against Dan and wins
Skillz~ went on to college, and walked on the court for basketball, and finished college on bball scholarship and because he stuck around til the end of school he got his masters, still with bevin, and became a motivational speakers and saying how its possible to get off the river court and go to college even if you can't afford it
Bevin~ with skillz
Brooke~ a designer in Tree HIll, made Clothes over bros a store with its headquarters in Tree Hill, but stores all over, with Lucas
Peyton~ With jake, and has her own record label manajing tric, got more big bands to come play, managin haleys music career, opened an art studio, and did the cover art for lucas novel, and went to the art school near Jake
Jake~ raising Jenny, has her full time, living with Peyton, got his GED, and went to community college,
Dan~ commited suicide
Deb~ runs the cafe, and helps Karen with the baby
Karen~ has her baby, fell in love again? new guy? finsihed school. and helps out at tric and the cafe, she became principal!
They are all still friends!!!

First i think that Nathan and Haley should have had their kid, along with another one on the way. Nathan should be striving to become a pro b-ball player and eventually get it. Haley should be pursuing her music career or be a stay at home mom because nathan would be bringing home all the cash!!!Lucas should still be playing b-ball but after running in to that one goth girl she inspires him to publish his book
and be with Brooke in Tree hill. As for Peyton and jake. They will be married living in tree hill. Jake will be filling in for Whitey. Jenny will be growing fast and Peyton will be accpeting a baby girl and will name after her mother. Karen would still live in tree hill with her son who she names keith. She would be engaged with Dan but then he breaks her heart and they break up. Karen to only find out that she is pregnant with Dan's son once agian. Then Karen's Haley's, and Peyton's babies could all be borned on the same day.

-hailey and nathan are together with 1 son and a daughter on the way
-lucas and brooke are togther and lucas proposes.
-rachel and mouth are together.
-karen has fogiven dan and they are happy together with her son named keith.
-peyton, jake and jenny are together and peyton is pregnant.nikki is out of the picture.
-deb finds a man to be happy with.

--brooke is a fashion designer.
--rachel is a model for brookes designs.
--peyton is managing tric.
--nathan is a famous basketball player.
--hailey is a teacher.
--karen is still at the cafe'.
--dan has gone to prison and gets out.
--lucas is the coach for a basketball team which nathan and haileys son plays on. haha.
i have no ideas for mouth or deb.

I think lucas and brook should be togther and payton and jake and halye and nathan should be togther. and maybe even dan and karen.

i think that there should be a 5th seson of one tree hill because it is the best show ever...i love it.heres what i think should go down haha...nathan and hailey will still be married and have their son and a daughter on the way.Hailey is a school techer and nathan is a famous bball player. Lucas and brooke should be together.Brooke will be a fashion designer with rachel along side of her. Lucas will be the bball coach scince whitey retired.Because him being a writer is kinda gay. Peyton and jake will be together with jenny and nikki will be out of the picture so they can be happy.And peyton could be pregnant with lucas' baby. um...karen will have her baby and find a man to be happy with because i think that dan will probably be in prison if lucas told anybody. Oh and mouth and rachel should deffinatly be together because there seems to be something between them. Also i think chris keller should come back on the show because he is so funny. He could just be part of the gang and i hope they all are still together back in tree hill. A

yes! One Tree Hill! I wish Lucas and Brooke are together. They are meant to be together.

there better be a season 5! i've never missed an episode and i'm be very upset if the show ended! i think it would be a great season fast forwarding 4 years... definatly interesting! I hope Haley and Nathan are still together.. they're SOOOO CUTE!! I LOVE ONE TREE HILL!!

I wanna see nathan and hayleys baby being bornn... and im not a perv i promise!!

xoxooxoxoxox<33

there had better be a season 5 for OTH, i have been watching this show since the very first episode, and have never missed one!!! i love the nathan and haley thing, and i kind of wish that peyton and jake would get back together so that brooke and lucas could reunite!!! you cant cancel this show not yet, theres so much more that could happen!!! i hope that this show stays on the air!!!!!

brooke and lucas - married brooke fasion designeer luke pro bbal player

nathen hayley- still married with the baby and another one coming hayley a teacher and nathan a bbal player on a diff team than lucas


peyton and jake- with jenny togtether and engaged with nikki still out there

evreyone shood hate dan again and karen shood have her baby

OMG i have a SICK obbsession with NALEY!!!well mostly james lafferty!!! but if you cancel OTH and dont do at least 1 more season i will like cry for days!! haha! but seriously please please please continue it!! i mean u can be creative and think of more to do with it if you dont think it will work out!!!

PLEASE BRING IT BACK For A FIFTH SEASON!!!!!!!!! THIS SHOW HAS SUCH A WONDERFUL CAST AND STORYLINE KEEPS VIEWERS WATCHING! CW if you cancel shows like this then you really are losing a wide fan base.. CW is one of the ONLY newtworks I will Watch!!

just one thing ....BRUCAS!!!!

BROOKE AND LUCAS!!!
theyre perfect for each other!

peyton and lucas are like perfect together!! i think that brooke should give mouth a try because they seem pretty cool. as for living situations, i think that nathan, haley, lucas, and peyton will all still hopefully live in tree hill i hope skillz finds someone besides bevon, because she is kinda weird

I think Brooke and Lucas will be together and that is all that matters
Brooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and LucasBrooke and Lucas

Dans la saison 5, j'aimerai que le couple brukas se remette ensemble et que Lucas se rende compte que Peyton est juste une amie. J'aimerais que Peyton murmure " I love you jake" pendant une nuit romantique avec Lucas et qu'elle aille rejoindre jake pour habiter avec lui!
En se qui conserne Mouth, il vivrait une veritable histoire d'amour avec la présidente des ados purs!
Nathan et haley seraient heureux et ils appelleraient leur enfant keith, en mémoire à l'oncle de lucas!
Lucas découvrirait que c'est dan qui a tué keith mais personne le croirait!
Skills et Bevin seraient toujours ensemble!
je pense qu'il serait bien que lucas et brooke soient dans la même université, à tree hill pour veiller sur sa mère! Haley et nathan n'iraient pas à Duke car ça serait trop compliqué avec le bébé mais je n'est aucune idée d'où ils pouraient aller!
Peyton épouserait Jake et adopterait le bébé de Jake!
Brooke tomberait enceinte peut de temps après et Lucas serait le plus heureux des hommes!
Dan ne supporterait pas les jugement de son fils Lucas et irait se dénoncer à la prison de tree hill! Mais lucas s'en voudrait et brooke le réconforterait!
Voilà ma prédiction pour la saison 5 des frères scott!
And I LOVE OTH

like....7 days and um...a couple hours...i have a count down thing on my myspace for One Tree HIll.
i cant wait...BRUCAS FOREVER!

BRUCAS, BROOKE AND LUCAS...they have to be together, there are WAY more brucas fans then....leyton fans.
and theyre has to be a season 5!!!

LEYYON.. period

Brooke and Lucas!!!
there has to be a season 5. everyone loves One Tree Hill!!! i really, dont know one person who doesnt like the show!!!
my family, and friends all love the show!

ok sooo lets just put it this way- THERES GOT TO BE A SEASON 5! there just has to be.
also brucas and jeyton would be GREATTTTT to see!!
ahh i miss tht so much. leyton just makes me sick.

butt im wondering if maybe they only made Leyton this season because sophia bush and chad m. murray didnt want any on screeen stuff together?? so thats probably why they ended brucas because it would be weird them on camera togeher but not off. = (

also- i think Jeyton ended as well because Bryan Greenburg (JAke) has a new show on the CW called OCtober Road and is dedicated to tht now
(LAME CANCEL THAT)
but besides all of those problems i say they just bring back Jake FULLTIME and have sophia and chad suck it up and just be together on camera couple- THEY ARE AMAZING TOGETHER
BRUCAS CHEMISTRY is undeniable.
either way... just BRING ON SEASON 5!! we'd never be the same without it.

ONE TREE HILL SHOULD NOT BE CANCELLED EVERY or for atleast a couple years WE NEED ONE TREE HILL IM LIKE TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH IT I DONT KNOW WHAT IDE DO WITH OUT IT KEEP ONE TREE!!!

Brooke & Lucas together, That´s what I want for a fifth season. You know mark I´m a bit dissapointed about season 4 . Not just beacause leyton is together, but because of what you said . That brooke & lucas would spend time together this season , But none of us have seen that actually happen . If I think about it , I´ve only seen one scene of them together throughout season 4. talk about spending time huh ! And how come when Brucas were a couple peyton and lucas always had there scenes . But now that leyton is a couple brucas barely talk to eachother ? It sucks big time ! Get a grip of yourself mark ! you have other fans to please too , not just leytoners . Remember that ! Sometimes it feels like you don´t even know we brucasers exist :(

Brucasalways !

I totalllly think there should be a season5! i am absolutely in love with one treee hill. i think tht nathan and haley will still be married with beautiful children. i also think peyton and lucas should stay together! no broooke!!!!!!! lucas and peyton foreverrr! i also think brooke will become some bigshot fashion designer.

Nathan:NBA(Charolette Bobcats) still married to Haley and there son is adorable
Lucas:Raven's Headcoach and writer married to Brooke has a daughter and son
Haley:Raven's high school teacher and has an album out still married to Nathan and there son is adorable
Brooke:Big Fashion designer married to Lucas has a daughter and son
Peyton:Owns a record company and artist married to Jake teaching Jenny stuff Peyton pregnant to Jake's son

Dan: In jail
Karen: Doing good with her hopfully daughter
Deb:Sober
BRUCAS 4EVER!!

yes, brucas is the best!! go brucas!!!! they are so awesome!!! their love is true and they are so perfect together!!

SOLID NALEY!!!

-Mouth: SENATOR! ha, kidding!
-Rachel: Brooke's business associate


BRUCAS!!!

maybe a Jeyton?

Peyton will be an ARTIST in the future. Brooke FASHION DESIGNER. Haley TEACHER. Nathan NBA All-Star and Lucas a Great WRITER

BRUCAS!!!!if luke isn't with brooke, then he can be with someone else, just NOT peyton. i don't really like her this season--she is COVERED in issues!

just kill leyton, and we will be happy!

"this is how i think season 5 should be.i think that nathan be a basket ball star until the death of coach whitey and then he will decide that maybe he should take over as coach of the ravens.haley will be a music teacher at the high school. nathan and haley are still married and are about to give birth to twins.lucas is a famous journalist and glenda works with him.peyton will be an art teacher and still run tric. lucas and peyton are still together and peyton is a couple of months pregnant and lucas is planning on propsing until they are hit with some bad news,jake has been shot by jenny's mom and it was in jake's will that peyton raise jenny.chase ahs decided to come back into brooke's life.brooke will be a fashion designer and chase will be a teacher at tree hill high safe sex.dan will ask karen to marry him and she turns him down when andy comes back and then dan is arrested and put away for life for the death of keith.i dont know about skills and bevin but they should still be together.mouth will be a sports annoncer util brooke asks him to be a fashion model for clothes over bros and they fall in love.deb sobers up and she decided that she would go around to different schools talks about being alcohol free.once she finds herself she will meet a man who also is sober and fall in love.they all still live in tree hill exept mouth and brooke but they visit all the time.and i also think chris keller should come back and rachel should to and then they are together and they have changed for the better and they are friend with the gang too."

Someone Wrote this and I LOVE IT!!!! Minus a few deaths but the story line is GREAT. I like how most of them end up working at THHS GREAT GREAT!!!

i love LEYTON 4EVER.... n it should stay that way.

Peyton had him first and Lucas liked her and fell for her, so why shouldn't they be together???

I think it will be pretty interesting to see how the GANG ends up within the next 4years....

and even the return of Jake and Jenny, who knows?

I LOVE
ONE TREE HILL <3

(Queen T)

Lucas and Payton cant break up. Its been a dream come true. Brooke is wild for him. She needs someone more willing to be wild too.

LUCAS AND BROOKE BACK TOGETHERRRR!!!

i love Leyton, Brook should b happy wit chase cuz he would 4 give her an i dont want it to b cancelled cuz i cant live wit out it

I HATED Brooke at first, but now i love her!! Payton has done some pretty messed up things to Brooke, she should have never gotten Luke
Lucas and Payton don't seem right..
BROOKE and LUCAS HAVE TO BE TOGETHER NEXT SEASON!!!

Brooke and Lucas HAVE TO GET BACK TOGETHER! the show isn't as fun without them together
BROOKE AND LUCAS!!!
PLEASEEE HAVE THEM BACK TOGETHER, AND PLEASE HAVE THE SHOW AGAIN!!

Okay i HATE Luke and Payton together, so if one tree hill does come back(WHICH IT BETTER!) Luke and Brooke HAVE to be back together. i was so upset that they broke up and now he's with Payton. that just isn't right!
Payton will be with Jake and Jenny, and Nat and Haley will still be together because they have to be! i really hope one tree hill will come back, everybody loves the show and it will be a shame if they cancel it!

this is how i think season 5 should be.i think that nathan be a basket ball star until the death of coach whitey and then he will decide that maybe he should take over as coach of the ravens.haley will be a music teacher at the high school. nathan and haley are still married and are about to give birth to twins.lucas is a famous journalist and glenda works with him.peyton will be an art teacher and still run tric. lucas and peyton are still together and peyton is a couple of months pregnant and lucas is planning on propsing until they are hit with some bad news,jake has been shot by jenny's mom and it was in jake's will that peyton raise jenny.chase ahs decided to come back into brooke's life.brooke will be a fashion designer and chase will be a teacher at tree hill high safe sex.dan will ask karen to marry him and she turns him down when andy comes back and then dan is arrested and put away for life for the death of keith.i dont know about skills and bevin but they should still be together.mouth will be a sports annoncer util brooke asks him to be a fashion model for clothes over bros and they fall in love.deb sobers up and she decided that she would go around to different schools talks about being alcohol free.once she finds herself she will meet a man who also is sober and fall in love.they all still live in tree hill exept mouth and brooke but they visit all the time.and i also think chris keller should come back and rachel should to and then they are together and they have changed for the better and they are friend with the gang too.

I really love One Tree Hill and i think maybe they could get more people watching it if they acctuly had commericals for it and if it wasn't cancled everytime there was basketball and if they maybe changed a few things up. But deffinatly keep Nathon and Hailley together or I know i'm not going to watch it for sure!

Lucas & Brooke= living together in a huge house, happy together. brooke is a world famous fashon designer, lucas persued his career in writing.
they still live in Tree Hill, and keep it close with haley and nathan.

Peyton & Jake= jake will finally have full custody of jenny (YAY) and peyton will stay home with jenny whiyle jake finds his dream job, she still ocasionally draws for magazines for extra cash, and now owns Tric.

Karen= has a healthy baby, and finds a guy who will love her and not abandon her like dan did. she will still have her cafe.

Dan= will be in jail FOR LIFE, after lucas finally found out that he killed keith...nobody ever comes to viset him.( ha ha ha )

Haley & Nathan= Nathan will be a basketball star, haley will be a music teacher at Tree Hill High, and they will have a house in Tree Hill with there son, who also loves basketball.

Rachel= will be a world famous fashon model, for brookes: "cloths over bro's" fashon line.

Mouth= nathan will get him an announcer job at nathans games.

Skills & Beaven= will be in love, skills will be on the same b-ball team as nathan.
Beaven will also model for brookes fashon line, along with rachel.

Deb= will sober up, and help karen with the cafe.

glenda= will be lucas's partner, and help him with his writing.

whitey= will come to every single game of nathan and skills, he will die shortley after, being happy and with his beloved wife!!! (wherever dead people "really" gooo)

Tree Hill will be a happy place, i really hope that there will be a season 5, its kinda funny how, almost everyone will eather be rich or famous, or both! it kind of seems like that now in the 4th season anyway!!!
OTH is my life, idk what i would do without that show!!! and i am sorry if i missed any people, i havent watched it in a WHILE BECAUSE ITS NOT ON FOR A MOTH!!!!! GOD! i cant wait for it to be back on!!!

i just have one thing to say, LUCAS SCOTT AND BROOKE DAVIS!!! and there has to be a season 5, look at alla these people who love this show so much!!!

I LOVE One Tree Hill. I have every season and i atch it twentyfour seven. I have all my friends hooked on it. If it ws ever canceled i would die.

this show has kept me going throughout everything, me an dmy boyfriends breakin gup senior year pageants, fights with friends, fights with parents, i look forward to every night it is on its somewhat of a counselor or a mentor something to get me through the dreaded week if this show was to discontinue i think i would have to by all the old dvd's which is on my b/day list lol, and watch them over and over thinking my own plot to their futures which wouldn't be too great seeing how im not a lick of talented in storytelling lol! SAVE THE SHOW im lost with out it!

PLEASE SAVE ONE TREE HILL.. the show is amazing.. and so many people will be devistated if it does not continuee.. it is the best show ever..

SAVE ONE TREE HILL

PLEASE SAVE ONE TREE HILL SAVE IT PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE SAVE ONE TREE HILL

I think peyton and lucas are meant to be together since...season 1!!!! she's the one for him as Skills said!!!!! Brucas is so complicated and besides Lucas always resorted to Peyton for his problems, not so much to Brooke although she was his girlfriend!!!!! Leyton forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love OTH. and fast fowarding to four years earlier in season five is a great idea. i was a fan of dawson's creek but when it went into the college years it bored me. it would be a shame if that happened to this show.

i picture this happening:
-deffinitely a brucas because they will always have feelings for each other
-peyton belongs with jake..end of story. they were made for each other
-karen will have the baby and lucas will be there to help out. she will also give the baby the last name of scott in honor of keith
-mouth will find love with rachel and leave tree hill
-skills will become a professional player and be with bevin
-nathan and haley will be together forever.they will have more kids and haley will be a music teacher while nathan runs his own basketball team
-karen will eventually sober up
-whitey will pass away when the season begins
-in the last episode dan will die and all the people he hurt in the begining will be set free

i cant wait and hope for a season 5=)

There got to be a season five! I mean as we know it each episode gets better and better. All I am ask for season five is have lucas and peyton together married and have a baby. As for Brooke she should end up with Nathan after Haley leaves again to persue her music and she falls in love with her back up singer. Then comes Rachel realizing that Mouth is the man for her and falls madly in love with him.
LEYTON FOREVER!!!!

I REALLY LOVE ONE TREE HILL.LUCAS AND BROKES SHOULD GET BACK TOGETHER.THIS SHOW SOULD NOT BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR

Brucas must come back, OTH without Brucas is less interesting!! They are so amazing !!!! Brucas is true love!!!!

I would want Brooke and Lucas together. The previous three seasons have been all about them, and Peyton and Lucas are so much better off as friends.

It would be very interesting to see the characters' lives on OTH four years from now. I think, professionally speaking, Haley should become an elementary school teacher. I know right now she is very worried during her pregnancy about how she is going to raise a child all by herself at such a young age, but I have faith in her that she will excel at being a great mother. Nathan should be portrayed as a complete opposite of Dan - his father was the most negative role model one can think of, but Nathan, yearning to be a positive father figure, should turn out to raise his child in best of terms. Skills should definitely pursue a career in basketball. Although his character isn't too deeply developed in the show, I feel his success would be an inspiration to all of us that are looking to accomplish something that we truly desire. I hope his scholarship will take him far. I can totally see Brooke as a fashion designer because she has worked very hard to reach that goal, despite the lack of love from her family and a constant struggle of battles, and she deserves it. I think Lucas should eventually gain enough courage to publish his book, and even though he can't really pursue basketball because of his heart conditions, I think it would be great if we could see him happy when his book is one of the best-sellers. Peyton, I'm not really sure where she should end up, but I do know that whatever she does and no matter where she goes, Lucas will always be there for her. They should definitely end up getting married...or at least he should propose to her. They are meant to be together and after all the dilemmas this poor girl has had to face in her life, she definitely deserves a happily-ever-after ending. In my eyes, one must be the luckiest person in the world to have fallen in love with their best friend. PEYTON AND LUCAS have now finally gotten their chance to prove their love to the world. Nothing should come in between that! It would be very interesting to see how things would turn out if Brooke and Mouth ended up together. He has always had a special place in his heart for her, as does she, and I think they would make a great on-screen pair. If not Brooke, then Mouth should end being with his ideal match - a loving, caring, girl-next-door type person. He has a heart of gold and should find his soulmate as well. Once Karen has her baby, it will also be interesting to see the relationship between Lucas and his younger brother or sister. Transitioning Jake and his baby back onto the show would allow there to be a twist. Perhaps they could show something like Jake coming back into Peyton's life, first just as a friend, but as time progresses he begins to develop stronger feelings towards her. She might start doubting herself and thinking that maybe Jake was the one all along, but in the end she should see her fault in that and remain with Lucas as he has always been her true love. As for Rachel, Dan, and Deb, I don't see much difference in their characters. Some things never change about people - that's just reality. Additionally, I think everyone should still remain friends as a whole group. It would be too sad to see people drifting away and this would cause a certain looseness to the show also. Keeping everyone's stories intertwined would be the best way to go about season 5 because the show has always been portrayed that way. Brooke and Peyton should also become best friends once again. Time heals all wounds and as they grow older, they should mature and be able to let bygones be bygones. They should form that unbreakable bond once again and Brooke should finally just accept the fact that Peyton has found her happiness. She should be genuinely happy for her, and this will allow their friendship to get back on track once again. Everyone should continue to live by each other and the two brothers (Nathan and Lucas) should still remain very close. I can't possibly begin to fathom what I would think the show finale of OTH would be because this is one show I've grown so attached to that it truly makes me sad to even know that there's going to be an end. :(

pour l'instant les épisodes de la saison 4 ne sont pas encore diffusé en frace mais à ce que je sais pas de rupture peyton lucas(dommage)mais que l'amitié brooke lucas va devenir plus profonde ce qui seri bien puisque je pense que le couple avait besoin de cela avant de se remettre ensemble producteur si vous lisez cela faite en sorte que le couple brooke lucas se reforme et pas seulement en tant qu'amis en plus y'a une pétition sur le net pour que le couple se remettent ensemble alors s'il vous plait ne nous trahissez pas une seconde fois merci

la saison 5 devrai être la saison de toutes les révélation amoureuse brooke/ lucas qui se rendent compte de leur amour mais gros dilème peyton

pour la saison 5 ça serai bien que lucas se rende compte au fur et à mesure qu'il aime toujours brooke et que si il a été avec peyton c'est parce que elle avait besoin d'être sauvé et qu'il a mélangé sentiments amour et amitié et également que brooke aime lucas mais ne veux pas se l'avouer parce que elle ne supportera pas encore une fois le triangle amoureux ou dans l'épisode 5 ans après tous se retrouve à tree hill et lucas se rend compte que toutes ces années il n'a jamais pu se l'avouer et que brooke et faite pou lui comme lui est fait pour brooke

Nathan and Haley I would love to see some kind of a scandal going on between them, just to spicen things up. Maybe after 5 years, nathan divorced with haley, and nathan live together with a girl in the picture when nathan at HIGH FLYERS, because that girl was pregnant with nathan's child, so nathan will be look like DAN SCOTT (who left karen and lucas, and married with Deb and have a son, nathan). Nathan had to leave haley and the unborn child, because a girl at the HIGH FLYERS already pregnant with nathan's child, so nathan live together with that girl and the baby. So the conclusion is, nathan have 2 baby with the different mother, with haley and with that girl.

Basically i really want Brucas!!! There so many dedicated Brucas fans and we all have faith that they'll be back

P.s i also see Haley and Brooke still being best friends and Mouth and Brooke still having there close friendship. I'm not sure about Peyton and Brooke. I feel like Peyton has made to many mistakes in there friendship and Brooke has also made mistakes, i think the friendship between Haley and Brooke is alot better and more real, they protect each other and thats what friends should do.

I think Brooke will be a fashion designer and Lucas will be an author. Haley will be a singer, Nathan a basketball player, and Peyton an artist or doing something with music. I think Brooke and Lucas will meet again and end up together, to me thats the only way that makes sense. There perfect for each other and make each other better people. Brooke and Lucas are soulmates. I don't see how it could end any other way than them togther. For good! I'd love it to end with Brooke and Lucas getting married, and thats how i see it.

Brooke & chase
Peyton & Jake
Haley & Nathan
lucas & ????????
just as long as Brooke and Chase r together

je veu ke luka soi avc luka et en meme ten nathan mai el aime plus luka ke nathan bien sur et ke peyton ne parle plus a brook car el la trai en sortan avc le ga kelle aimer

The idea of a 5th season forwarded to after-college years is fabulous it give so much freedom as to what they can elaborate and come up with .

I would love it if someone put an end to Leyton. they are so blissfully happy they are nauseating. Anyone ever hear of opposites attract? Brucas is the way to go. In 6 years i see them both with great carears Lucas as a novelist and Brooke as a designer. The both of them will be coming back to Tree Hill for the christening of Nathan and Haley's 2nd child. And when they meet again they can't help but feel like they have unfinished business. Brooke is defensive because she doesn't trust him with her heart. Lucas came back to Tree Hill in hopes of rekindling is relationship with Peyton but when he sees Brooke, he feels like Dan for the way he acted with the whole Brooke situation and he feels he made a mistake for chossing Peyton b/c he enjoys her friendship. They walk around on eggshells with each other before finally deciding to REALLY give each other a chance.

Nathan and Haley went to Duke together with Nathan continuing with basketball and Haley majoring in music education. Nathan is drafted by the NBA and plays for the Charlotte Bobcats, close to Tree Hill. Both he and Haley have their home base there, and Haley teaches music at Tree Hill High. Their son continues the Scott Basketball legacy, by starting to show the love for the game at a young age.

After being attacked by Fake Derek and beating him (almost) to death, Peyton goes through a taumatic time and realize that she needs to make some changes to her life. She breaks up with Lucas to find herself. Peyton starts over as a local artist and art teacher at Tree Hill High along with Haley. She longs for a meaningful relationship which she finds when an unlikely person rolls into Tree Hill to get in touch with some people he met under not so friendly cicumstances. You guessed it, it's Chris Keller. He and Peyton deserve each other and belong together. She likes the musical type (see Jake) and she likes men with issues (see post-Haley Nathan), and he is a musician with issues.

I see Rachel as a lawyer. She is BFFs with Brooke and they keep in touch. She moved back to Tree Hill b/c she has made some great friends there. Eventually she meets Derek (the real one!!) and they hit it off. He is good for her self-confidence and he loves that she seems tough but is still vulnerable. They're getting serious about each other.

Skills and Bevin are getting married and they are both still comedic relief for all the drama of Tree Hill.

Please let go the whole Dan-killed-Keith-and-feels-bad-about-it storyline. It's tragic. We know. But give the guy a break because this whole is starting to feel like a soap aopera story and i think the show is better than that. Dan did something wrong and he probably will pay for them in the after-life but for now let the guy have some peace. He actually WANTS to change. So let him raise that baby with Karen. Let both of them learn how to trust again. Also Deb should meet someone else to help her move on with her life.

The show is great, fabulous, absolutely enthralling. PLEASE keep up the good work. Fans all over the world appreciate the work you are doing.
You introduced us to great actors who do great work. Kuddos to Bethany Joy Galeotti for such an amazing musical talent and James Lafferty who clearly could have been a basketball great :D.

One Tree Hill's biggest fan.

Hello, I am a french fan and I just wanted to say you that the series has a huge success in our country.This idea of a season 5 enjoy us and we discuss about the differents scenarios which are possible.

I think that the serie should continue in time. To see the character advanced: Some of them at the university,or others in the music like haley in her group or for example to see peyton assembling her label, Brooke with Clothes Over Bro's ... etc

I hope that the project will be carried out. in all cases we are impatient to find new episodes. Thank you to ask the opinion of the spectatorsand to make great audiences.

A french fan.

PS: sorry if my english is not perfect. :s

Brooke Lucas : Expecting a baby , Brooke is very hormonal , man I`d like to see that :P They are not married yet but lucas will propose to brooke , and they will have their wedding before brooke delivers the baby . They will have theis difficulties but will eventually solve things out , beacuse they love eachother .

Nathan & Haley : ecpecting baby numer two the same time as brooke , They will have a lot of scenes together :P Their boy is happy and healthy .

Jake & peyton

Chris keller will come back !

brucas = love supreme !!!!!!

LEYTON PLEASE LEYTON married with 3 childrens!! Please

Naley 2 children

Brooke and Chris Keller!!

PLEASE§!!

In five years, I hope everyone will be still good friends!! It's the most important thing to me.Even if they don't live in the same place, even if some of them have to travel a lot for their studies or their job or their artist career. I hope that there will be new characters and maybe new living places. Please, dot not bring Brooke and Lucas back together. Lucas and Peyton neither. I hope the love triangle will be over. Lucas will be in a really serious relation with a beautiful french girl, met in Paris during his studies of literature.In the begining of the fifth season, Lucas will just be back in the USA.
Brooke will start working with a famous fashion designer like Chanel. Rachel and Brooke will often work together because Rachel will be the editor of a fashion magazine.I wish Rachel will find a guy who really loves her and who will be a funny friend to.I don't know about Brooke 's love stories, i see her as a beautiful independant and talented women who doesn't need a man.She will not be in a serious relationship yet. I 'd like peyton to be a great business women who travel a lot. She will find new musicien groups. Maybe one day she will meet again Jake and Jenny and decide to share their life. Haley and Nathan will still be married, with all the problems of a couple life. Their son won't be found of basketball but of music, like his mother.Please find him a good name, a little original. In the begining of season 5, Haley and Nathan will choose to achieve their dream.Nathan will be a professional basketball player while Haley is still a student.She is also a great singer and I'd love her to work with Chris again.As a friend of course! Chris will definitely come back, he might be the really nice Rachel Boyfriend. Haley and Nathan will stop their career progressively when the second baby (a girl) will come. They'll buy a pretty house, Haley will be a music teacher and maybe Nathan will become the new ravens' coach. Karen and Deb will be good friends again and they will create an extension of the Karen's cafe which become a great restaurant where all the characters love to share happy moments.I don't know about Dan. Bevin and Skills will be together and remain the same funny couple they used to be! Mouth will be a sporting journalist and will date a beautiful Top model.
There is to much to say about a fifth season but the writers have done a good job so far, so I trust them, they will surprise us again!! Love One tree Hill.

a french OTH addicted

In the season 5:
- ,I see well a turn of Brucas, indeed Peyton and Lucas would understand
that himself what they test him a for the other did not bring an action other
than a amitiée strong and of the affection lucas understands that
Water-jump is the woman of his life ,what it tests always sensations for her.
Water-jump ele will not pardon him immediately considering that she will
settle still questions on his screw sincerity has screw of her.
But she will finish by to pardon him because she will understand that she will
not therefore have ever to cease to love him.
- For Naley I see well haley schoolmistress for brain-childs because she
loves the idea to learn things to the others , to feel useful.
Nathan would be him a tall basketball player.
Their relations would been perfected, the birth of their child will have them
still more to approximate .
The birth of their baby will have had an impact on the relation Brucas .
- For Peyton I see her well sketcher , working in the art with Jake and
her girl.
Jake would been returned has Trre hill for peyton because it will not
have turned out has to forget him.
They will come out then whole and will live love's young dream .
- Dan would be in prison
- Karen élevera her girl all lone with the help of Lucas

please please please
Brucas must come back!!!!

just a comment to say that in france we absolutely love One Tree Hill (known as Les Freres Scott-->The Scott Brothers) and no one on the forums or on the websites seems to notice that... They talk about germany or canada or england but never about france where the audience is really high.. sometimes the ratings in France are higher than in the US... So it'd be great if the producers organized some kind of event in Paris.. We already have a sort of that for Smallville (allison erica and john came to paris 2 years ago and this year something else is to occur)...
it'd be a shame if there is not a season 5 of oth...

I never like thought of nathan and brooke in that way til I saw the eppy on wednesday :P I was like hot hot hot , even more hot ! :P they could make suck a great couple , almost even beat brucas :P

Brathan are hothothothot , I mean really hot Brucas might not even bee enough for me anymore :P

Hi! my name is elisabeth and in france we love one tree hill (les frères scott)so i think ( by the way i'm 13!...)haley must loose her baby and i don't know really i'm sorry! i love chad michael murray !! sophia bush james lafferty bethany..but i hate. i dislike chad's girlfriend! she is very ugly!!

- Nathan and Haley are the most important part of the show One Tree Hill to me (I have watched their scenes literally around 100 times now), and I will not watch One Tree Hill if they are not in it, and I will die if One Tree Hill is not continued.

- Nathan and Haley can break up or divorce several more times, as long as they always get back together eventually because the "making up" parts would be awesome.

- When Nathan and Haley have broken up and gotten back together enough times, then the show should portray them as the almost-ideal couple and keep them interesting by making them comedic (for example, scenes where they're horny would be funny). Oh, and they are currently not making out enough, so they need to makeout more often!!!!! One short kiss is lame.

- I would HATE for Haley to die, but if you have to kill her, then Nathan must end up with Brooke.

- In 4 years...

- All the main characters, except Mouth, Skills, and Peyton will be in One Tree Hill (in my opinion, Mouth, Skills, and Peyton are not interesting & should no longer be on the show)

- Nathan should be a basketball player of a team in a big city that is near (he will commute everyday) One Tree Hill ('cause One Tree Hill is too small to have a basketball team). Haley will be a music teacher at Tree Hill High.

- Cooper will be back and will go after Rachel now that she is older; she will be angry at him at first but eventually be with him; Rachel's occupation will be something that takes much intelligence, like a biologist, med school student, law school student, etc.

- Brooke will have her own store in Tree Hill that is very profitable and that is growing as a national chain (the corporation office, which she runs, will be in Tree Hill)

- Lucus will be an author of medium wealth

- no one (except Nathan and Haley) will be married

- During one episode, Lucus should have dreams about being with Haley (including dreaming about loving her and making out with her), only to realize at the end, that Haley belongs with Nathan ...or Lucus's obsession with Haley can be for more than one episode, as long as Haley still ends up with Nathan.

- Lucus will no longer be together with Peyton 'cause they realized that after some time, they got bored of each other.

- Lucus will pursue Haley's sister, Taylor, or vice versa

- Chase won't have an occupation because he received a large inheritance, but he has a license to fly planes and has a plane of his own
- Nathan or Haley will never cheat on each other.

- Everyone will be friends with each other with occasional fights/rifts.

- Ultimately these should be the couples when the show completely ends: Haley & Nathan, Lucus & Taylor, Brooke & Chase, Rachel & Cooper

- but Lucus & Haley, Taylor & Cooper, and Taylor & Chase can be temporary couples to cause drama, and Rachel and Brooke can (intentionally) swap each other's guys for a night ...or longer.

- P.S.: I would love to be one of the writers for the show! I would make the show's ratings sky high!

brucas all the way!!!!!

so beautifull!!!!!!
