BuddyTV: ‘One Tree Hill’ Interview: Creator Mark Schwahn on Season 7 and a Leyton Return?

Let’s do the time warp again. One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn has decided that he hasn’t had enough flash forwards, so season 7, premiering tonight at 8pm on the CW, will mark the second time the show jumps into the future, though this time it will only be for 14 months instead of four years.

BuddyTV spoke with the One Tree Hill mastermind to find out what’s new for season 7. Schwahn talked about the themes of this season, how the new characters will be introduced, what’s going on with Dan Scott and the possibility of a Lucas and Peyton return.

The Theme of Season 7

According to Schwahn, one of the central themes of this season will be “When you’re someone who’s in the spotlight, what are your responsibilities and are the rules different.”

Nathan is now a famous professional basketball star, Haley is making a new album, Brooke is an international clothing designer and Julian is a globe-trotting movie producer. One Tree Hill has matured, and now the show will look at fame and how it affects the more person stories fans are used to seeing.
