I hate to break the news to you, but a chunk of the fans are beginning to think that maybe – just maybe – Nathan actually did sleep with Renee.
Is that right? I’m looking pretty guilty there, yeah. But that’s interesting. I hadn’t had any inclination so far of what the viewer response has been to this whole thing, so that’s cool.
How soon will we find out the truth, whatever it may be?
It’s going to be soon, within the next few weeks. So for the fans that are really looking for answers, they should definitely be tuning in.
On top of everything else, it’s looking like this sordid mess is starting to affect young Jamie.
That is one of the most compelling things about this storyline – how it’s affecting not just Nathan but the entire Scott family. When I first read this storyline, it wasn’t something that frightened me. I didn’t think it’d be character assassination or anything. No, I thought it was going to open a lot of doors for a good story to tell. The Scott family leads a pretty charmed existence, so I was interested to see if this would tear them apart… or bring them closer together.
Do you feel this is some of the most interesting material you and Bethany Joy Galeotti have been given to play?
Absolutely. For our characters, there has to be a level of kindness and trust that they operate from at all times for them to even talk about a situation like this. If Haley didn’t trust Nathan, and if Nathan didn’t feel like he could be trusted, there’s no way they could even be in the same room when allegations like this come out.
Last week’s closing scene between Dan and Renee hinted that Nathan’s father will get his hand in the mix somehow. Some fans think he might play the hero.
He may, he may…. But the fans have to remember that as much as Dan has played the hero in the past, every time he has done so Nathan has burned him as well. So Dan could be a little bitter at this point.
Was it strange going into this season minus fellow original cast members Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) and Hilarie Burton (Peyton)?
It was much different, obviously. The actors, crew and producers, we come to work and do our jobs no matter who is off screen. The show is bigger than that. But in terms of what the fans feel, that was the biggest wild card. Our viewership has been strong, though, and I think the fans are starting to commit to the new characters. That’s a huge testament to Rob [Buckley, who plays Clay] and Shantel [VanSanten, Quinn], who came into this extremely prepared and wanting to do the best possible job. From the beginning, they took a lot of responsibility for whether the show did well, and they’ve really performed so far.
‘Tree Hill’ tends to keep things interesting by dragging the occasional bad apple back to the canvas. Are there any upcoming returns you can tease?
The fans should look out for something from Nathan’s past maybe coming back. I know that’s extremely vague, but it should make for some cool and interesting drama.
