Happy Birthday, Bethany Joy Galeotti!

Happy Birthday, Bethany!Happy Birthday to Bethany Joy Galeotti! Bethany celebrates her 27th birthday today. She's really come a long way since she landed the role of Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird” at the Irving Community Theater in Texas at the tender age of 10!

Bethany and Haley are both fan favorites. She recently won our much-discussed CW Source Hottie Bracket women's division bracket, and Haley's ups and downs are among OTH's most popular storylines. Haley's grown so much since OTH's first season…

She has gone from Tutor Girl to teacher Mom. Haley’s life really changed she started tutoring Nathan, and after one mac & cheese date it was clear that they were both deeply in love. Then Haley changed Nathan’s life (and let’s face it -- his outlook on life) when they sneaked off and got married in the episode “The Games That Play Us.”

But married life can be difficult -- especially when you get hitched in high school. Haley James Scott got a taste of the big time when she started giving in to her musical instincts. She and Nathan really struggled when she went out on tour with Chris Keller and company during season two, but love prevailed and Haley ended up leaving the tour and coming home to be with her husband.

When the couple found out that they were going to have a baby, naturally they went though more turmoil. Nathan was afraid that he couldn’t provide for a family, but Haley helped him see that together, they could do anything. And in the season four season finale, while giving the valedictorian speech to her graduating high school class, Haley went into labor with her son.

Four years later, during season five, we see an adult, confident Haley -- one who can even stand up to Dan. Haley was the first to spot the guy after he was paroled. The mother instinct kicked in hard and she was quick to protect her family and friends from the man who has done so much to hurt them.

She’s had so many memorable milestones -- too many to count. What’s your favorite Haley James Scott moment? Share it here, and post your birthday wishes for Bethany!

Fun Fact: Did you know that Bethany wasn’t the first actress selected to play Haley James? Another actress appeared in the show’s original pilot. But now there’s just no way we could imagine anyone else in the role!

I hope you had a very good birthday and your husband was able to spoil you on your day.
I personally think that you are a great actress. It must made a big difference from playing a teenager last season to an adult this year.
I have heard you singing, you have a great voice.
Keep the good work

Hugs and kisses
from a big fan

Bethany is the best on this entire network. She's beautiful and extremely talented, no other star really compares. I hope her the best!

Hopefully the CW Source can give us some info on how this lovely lady enjoyed her day.

Happy Birthday Bethany :) Hope it was great. Your my favorite character on the show.

A very happy birthday Bethany!! I'm sorry it's so late but I didn't know about this until now :D I hope you had lots of fun and I wish you the very best.
You're an amazing actress and singer and I hope you get everthing you dream off.

It's hard to choose my favourite Haley moment... there are so many. Most of them are ofcourse Naley moments. There have been lots of favourites this 5th season. I have to say the one in 502 where you're shouting at Nathan is so amazing. Also in this last episode 512, you did such an amazing job! I can't wait to see more of you in season 5!

xx Margaux

<3 Kathryn

A bit on the late side, but hopefully Joy had an amazing birthday. She definitely deserves it. She's been my reason for watching OTH since day one, she's so extremely talented and beautiful.

Not that it's old by any means, but Joy comes off as younger than 27. Then again, who woulda thunk she was only 17 on Guiding Light.

Happy Belated Birthday Bethany Joy G..

I really can't say which haley moment was my favorit . Because I LOVE THEM ALL you are a great actress and singer . The role you play gives so meany people hope and faith. And I would love to be able to what you do . I bet it is so fun playing somebody else. well I hope you had a Great B-Day best wishes Your fan april

I am also a big OThs fan I always have and will always be Your GReat

Happy Birthday Bethany James Galeotti. I am a huge fan of yours and you are my favorite charcter in OTH and so is Hilarie and Sophia! I wish you the best of luck in everything and wish you many more years to come! I love you!

Happy Birthday Bethany Joy Galeotti!! My favorite Haley James Scott moment was she and Nathan was in Jamie's room thinking that they lost him because you can still tell that they still love each other.My other favorite haley James Scott moment was when she told Dan so leave her,her family,and friends alone.

HAPPY(belated) birthday!!!!
BETHANY JOY G. (don't know how to spell your last name sorry(but i can spell Lenz) I hope all your dreams and goals come true you defiantly deserve it!

okay well its going to be hard to comment you and haley scott (my favorite character) because have you read everyone else's comments!!!! There pretty hard to top. i mean someone even mentioned you on Guiding Light!!!!
Anyway ill try to give my finest comment: Bethany Joy G. (not explaining again) You are an inspiration and a role model with your singing and your acting and your non-like Hollywood life!! you have done a phenomenal job. and how you play Haley!!! i wouldn't ask for anyone else. The way you play her and with james (got to give props to james) is AMAZING your scenes together give me such faith and happiness i just get some funny feeling.

i don't think its really that possible for me to have a favorite moment because theres just too many which i LOOVVEE. But i can say that i love how haley always gives faith to people and helps them. she truly does have a halo.

happy birthday,

possibly your #1 fan always and forever
Stephanie Marie L.
(see what i did i did what i did for you except i actually know how to spell my last name which is a good thing!)

If you ever get to see this....

I'd like to wish you a Happy belated Birthday. I hope it was everything you wished for, you seem like the kind of girl who likes to feel serene; kind of like you once mentioned in your journal that you wore the tiara your mother had sent you all day on your birthay. Well, I've hope you've received just as special a gift from your mother and all your loved ones, hee.

You do not look 27 at all, you still look so younger. But without a doubt, you have aged beatufiully since your first scene on the show, both as an individual and as an actress and a musician. I hope we will hear some news on your music soon, I think we all need a little Joy eye candy.

- Medine

Hey Joy happy birthday, i know its a little late but rather late then never...
I love your music, and i cant think of oth without thinkin? of you...

your biggest fan Sarah,Denmark

Happy Birthday Joy From LatinAmerica, I wish you the best life you can has :)

Hey Joy! Happy (belated) birthday! Your music and acting truly inspires me as a singer/songwriter/actress myself. I'm actually about to record a demo, all because of your music. As cheesy as it sounds, your lyrics speak to me. Maybe one day we can collaborate :)
Malena

Everything about her screams confidence and beauty! Love every scene haley has been in honestly. From season 1, Haley singing ''Elsewhere'' to Nathan in Karen's Cafe to season 5, Haley getting Jamie back again! There's a reason Haley's my favorite character. Happy birthday Bethany Joy Galeotti!

Naley = End game.

Happy Birthday Bethany Joy!!
I'm your biggest fan from Finland. And I absolutely adore you!

YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!

Happy Birthday, Joy. Hope your day was as magical as your life has been.

Favorite Haley moment..that is a very hard question. Joy has been amazing this season. In episode 10, she brought me to tears. Previous seasons...the beginning of the first season, her scenes with Lucas are truly amazing. I love that they've rekindled those scenes this season. And I really love any of her scenes with Brooke. The friendship between Tutor Girl/Wife/Mom and Tigger is very strong.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOY!
You are an amazing actress (and singer) We all love you and wish you the best!

Happy Belated Birthday Joy!
You're an amazing person and an even better actress. You're one of the main reasons I watch OTH religiously every week. You're an inspiration and a true example of how professionals should act when they deal with fame and success. Have a great day, week, year! And I wish you all the best.

Thank you for bringing so much light and life to our TV screens and such wonderful music to our ears.

You truly are a talented, inspiring individual.

Happy Birthday Ms. Galeotti!

Happy birthday, Bethany! I hope your day is amazing and you get everything you've ever wanted. You're so great at everything you do, so you definitely deserve it!

<3

Happy Birthday to the loveliest lady in the world! I hope she gets everything she wishes for! Thank you for all great things you share with us, Joy and I hope she has an amazing year!

Aw! Happy Birthday, Joy!

Thanks for that blurb on her. She's so amazingly talented as an actress and as a singer/songwriter. I hope she continues to pursue projects and endeavors that are fulfilling and inspiring.

My favorite Haley moment is hard to choose because there are so many. Her scene with Lucas in 1x18 remains one of my favorites to this day because Joy exuded such subtlty and wasn't afraid to really reach within herself portray her character as vulnerable. And because of that, she conveys such a genuine tone in that scene. That single performance really encompasses the wide range of emotions Joy is capable of conveying and she does it convincingly so.

Happy birthday Bethany Joy! You are such a sweet, kind and amazing person and you definately deserve the best birthday ever. I look up to you for so many reasons. You are so down to earth and you never let Hollywood get to you. I really love the person that you are and I hope you have an amazing 27th birthday!

Favorite Haley scene? Hmm, well in 510, and 512 this season her performances were phonomenal. She really is one of, if not the best actress out there. Also in 213, when she left Nathan for the tour, and in 301 in the scene with Nathan in his bedroom.

She is so versitile and can play each role perfectly. I love how she loves to play the subtlty, because thats where it matters most. You are a amazing musician singer/song writer and I hope many good things come to you in your future! I love you Joy and have a wonderful birthday<3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETHANY!! I'll be honest...you ROCK!! Hope you have a great and memorable 27th birthday!

My favorite Haley moment was during season 5 episode 10 when Haley and Nathan were arguing about Nanny Carrie...the performance was rievting and captivating.

THANKS FOR BEING YOU AND KEEPING IT REAL!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Bethany!!!!
Hope its a great bday.

happy birthday bethany!!!!!!!!!
i hope you have the best of wishes! you rock!

my fav haley james scott moment is the season 5 preiemere when she tells nathan that she is here and that he needs to stop being a asshole! go hales!]
she couldnt let him ruin wat they have!

Happy Birthday Joy!

I wish you all the happiness in the world. You deserve the best and I hope all your wishes come true. You are an amazing person and an inspiration to so many people out there. Your talent has no limits and we are so lucky to be your fans.

I don't have one fav moment since I lovee all the scenes Haley is in ..lol!

Happy Birthday Bethany. Best wishes. I must say that you are an amazing singer and actress:)

happy birthday bethany!!

Happy Birthday Bethany! My 2 favorite Haley moments are when they were at the cheerleading competition and having alot of fun together just being teenagers and right after they all graduated high school and were at the last party. I really love watching OTH.

Happy Birthday Joy! Hope you have a great day, and all your wishes come true!

Best Haley moment: Are you serious? Like I could choose just one? They are all beyond amazing! :-)

Happy Birthday, Joy! Best wishes.

Happy Birthday Bethany! I am so glad that they went with Joie for the role of Haley. I definitely couldn't imagine anyone.

She is such a soulful, beautiful, talented person and I'm so glad she plays the part of the wife of one of my favorite couples, Nathan and Haley!

Happy Birthday Mrs G;) Hope you have the best day where you treat yourself to doing exactly whatever you wish to do this year.

Best Haley moments - too many!

I will however say this; these past 3 epis have been amazing to watch not because I want Haley suffering the pain she has been through but simply from the performance you have given. I've been waiting for a complete Haley-rips-my-heart-out-and-even-if-she-would've-committed-murdered-
I'd-be-defending-her-after-that-scene..scene
since I discovered your performance during the Danny and Michelle breakup(s) in GL. You cannot possible expect that I will turn off those scenes and not want you to break my heart again and broke my heart you did.

Oh and on a side note.
Thank you for your exceptionally beautiful music that moves me to pieces each and ever time. I'm hoping you're still planning on getting out a cd and if so will be able to get some new tunes out for us soon.

Best regards and hopes of you having the best birthday.

Bless you heart

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful, talented actress on this show!!
Haley is such an inspiration to the younger audiences, and is definitely the reason I keep watching. Plus, hello, Naley forever! hehe.
Happy Birthday, and thanks for rocking this disappointing season; Joy, you make it worth it!!!!

Happy Birthday, Joy! I hope this day is the best for you, I hope you have much fun! You deserve it, you're so talented actress and without you, OTH wouldn't get to 100 episodes, trust me. Also, your voice is amazing, I hope we hear you singing more in the future!

Love <3

happy birthday bethany! i hope ur birthday is wonderful. today is my birthday too. i enjoy watching you one one tree hill. haley is my favorite character. cant wait for more episodes of tree hill. have a wonder and funfilled day

Happy birthday Joy! I hope you have a fabulous and fun day and not be working too hard. You deserved it!

Happy Birthday Joy!! I hope you have an amazing day :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOY! YOU'RE AMAZING.... I love your work and your music... those guys suck for changing over there at teh record company and now owning your music! it's amazing and i love it!

Haley/Joy scenes would be...:


Season 1: In I shall Believe when Lucas is in the hopsital, and Haley refuses to see him, then finally does! amazing scene!

Season 2: In Lifetime Piling uP... when the worlds were switched! i just love haley no matter what but that was a great one...

Season 3: this list could go on and on... from 315-316... those two were great!... to... Everyday is a Sunday Evening.. to much! all of it!

Season 4: In The Same Deep Water As You... loved her in that! and .... tooo many! but I loved her in The Championship Episode!.. it was great~! and in the one after it... when seh hears that heartbeat... had ME BAWLING MY EYES OUT!


Season 5: without a doubt! the talked about scene of the century! Getting Jamie to open his eyes in Running To Stand Still... and in Hundred when she was worried about Jamie! sooo good


we love you Joy!

Happy birthday Joy! I can't believe she's 27 already as I'm watching GL clips as well as she's around 18 there... :O.

We love you so much and seriously, one of the only things that calms me down when I'm feeling really bad is listening to your songs and voice!

As Haley's my favorite character, there isn't just one moment of hers I like. So I won't list anything... she's phenominal in every single episode and, IMO, the only actress on the show that I can cry with when the character breaks down! Keep up the great word and have the best birthday EVER!

HAAAAPPPPYYY BIRTHDAY JOY!!! (from Spain)
I wish you have an extraordinary day with the people you love!! I really love your performance on OTH! but what we can see an emphasize is how you became a fantastic and awesome woman with a so beautiful and clear soul,be always yourself,never change at all..
and please don't stop singing never,actually I need to hear you singing a new song! lol
thanks to be my smile on my face,love you!

xoxo

Happy Birthday Bethany Joy!

I hope your day is amazing, you truely deserve it.
<3

Feliz Cumpleaños Joy,espero que la pases genial y en tu dia tan especial :):)

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GIRL HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OTH WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU! <3

From one April birthday girl to another I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday and I hope that you get everything that you want or wish for and I hope that you have a good day.

You are an amazing person and actress. I love Haley and you portray her well. You are one of my favorite Actresses and you are truly a role model to me. I wish you all the best in everything.

Happy Birthday Bethany.

Happy Birthday Bethany. I hope you have a wonderful 27th birthday and get everything you wished and hoped for because you deserve it. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be watching OTH. You are Haley and you play her wonderfully. I love your songs as well. They are so deep and full of meaning. They are my favorite songs and they are sung so beautifully.

My favorite Haley James scene is in season 1 when Nathan says that he doesn't know if he wants to go back on the basketball team and Haley says that he's brave for wanting to rebuild his life. He tells her she could too if she wanted and then the camera goes to Haley and she looks up and the light is shining through the window so perfectly on her. It was just a wonderful scene. My favorite Haley James Scott scene is when she's reciting her second wedding vows and she says that Nathan makes her brave. <3

Happy birthday, Bethany! You're awesome, and your scenes in OTH are always my faves. Have a great day and treat yourself to something special!

Aw, this is such an amazing blurb about Haley/Bethany. So cute.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY BETHANY JOY GALEOTTI. I hope you have an absolutely amazing day, because you completely deserve it.

You are my favorite actress. Ever. My favorite singer/musician. Ever. And Haley is one of my favorite characters. Ever. I love who you are, and how you hold on so tightly to your beliefs, never losing sight of who you truly are. You've been an amazing star to look up to. You've have the fans, without having to sacrifice your beliefs. Classy.

Also your voice is so beautiful. I hope you continue to sing and share your music with your fans.

And I have too many favorite Haley scenes! You do it all to amazingly well. But, among them would have to be your quiet and soulful performance to Nathan at Karen's Cafe singing Elsehwhere during season one. And honestly your rendition was better than Sarah's, which is saying a lot since Sarah Mclachlan has such immense talent.

So to end this up, I hope you have a splendid birthday!

xoxo
