One Tree Hill is currently on its winter hiatus, but just because fresh episodes are not on our television screens at this time does not mean the residents and conflicts in the town of Tree Hill cannot be discussed. And if there is one thing to talk about when it comes to the lives of those in Tree Hill; it's love and all that surrounds it. Here is the current stance on your favorite couples and what may be headed for them in the new year.
Nathan and Haley-They're Tree Hill's longest-running couple, and also 
the one that has hit the most speed bumps on their ride to find happiness 'always and forever', but somehow these two always find a way to overcome whatever comes their way. And 2009 proved that the Nathan and Haley love story can conquer anything and anyone. Ever heard the expression, “What happened to the boy who got everything?”. That certainly became relevant to Nathan Scott this season. Achieving his life-long goal of playing in the NBA did not make life perfect for Nathan or his family. With his fame and success came a public scandal and accusations of infidelity that were enough to cause more than enough permanent damage to any relationship. Yet for Nathan and Haley, it only further emphasized on the strength of their relationship and its' ability to whether any storm that hits them. And once the storm cleared, we saw this epic television couple show their never-ending selflessness towards one another through the support they each showed for each other's dreams. Viewers ended the Tree Hill 2009 year not having to worry about the future of Nathan and Haley's relationship (something that is usually unexpected before a hiatus) by seeing them hit the road together this time to fulfill their dreams. Where will they be at the start of the year? We shall see what city, but clearly more than fine will be a sure stop.
Brooke and Julian-Their relationship was one that was never expected 
when Julian made his entry to Tree Hill, but one that has evolved into the most powerful relationship we have ever seen Brooke Davis in. Julian pretty much altered his whole life to be with Brooke in Tree Hill , and Brooke's love for Julian led her to overcome her fear of commitment and to instead put marriage and children on the table. Yes season seven began with Brooke and Julian in about as a newlywed world as people who are not newlyweds can be. Though it wouldn't be One Tree Hill if the honeymoon lasted forever. Julian's break from the Los Angeles film world has led to some trouble for him and Brooke as his desire to continue to work on films in Tree Hill landed him with someone who had a little more than work on her mind with the film producer. As if dealing with a third party threat was not enough of an issue for these two to deal with, they now have fertility problems on their plate; and with Brooke's guilt over not being able to give Julian a family along with her fear of his desire to continue working with the troubled-actress Alex Dupre, it is obvious things may not be as perfect in 2010 for the two love birds. No matter what our final moment of the year was with Julian and Brooke, (which as viewers saw wasn't exactly how they started the season) one thing is for certain; you can not doubt the strong love they have for each other. How far it will take them and will it lead them to overcome any obstacle that crosses their path? We shall see in the new year.
Mouth and Millicent-If there was one 2009 ending shocker for a couple 
in Tree Hill, it was Mouth and Millicent. Simply for the reason why their relationship ended; Millicent's new found desire to live a reckless life of drugs, alcohol, theft, lies, and absolutely no desire to stop any of it. The major downward spiral she has gone down has led her to not only lose herself and the respect of those close to her, but the one man who loved her the most in the world, Mouth McFadden. Even with his relentless desire to help the woman he loves, Millicent seems to be immune to the idea of ending her troubling behavior and hurting those who care most about her. If the close of the 2009 Mouth and Millicent story was any foreshadow to the new year for these two, one thing is for sure; together they will not be.
Clay and Quinn-They are Tree Hill's newest relationship to bloom and one that seemed to possibly save two people from forever confusion 
and heartbreak. For Clay, Quinn was the first girl he opened his heart to after the unexpected loss of his beloved wife. Meanwhile For Quinn, well, considering she is still married and trying to get out of a somewhat confusing marriage, not sure exactly what Clay is to her, if anything he's the one who really understands her and with whom she connects? The meaning behind this relationship seems to be one that is better off to left to each individual viewer to decide. The one thing that can be said based on their final scene together this year is that the upcoming forecast for Clay and Quinn seems sunny with a small chance of conflict. Of course it being One Tree Hill, it may be safe to say the sun won't shine forever on these two. Wonder what conflict will arise for them that the others haven't already dealt with! Maybe they can give them some pointers from lessons learned!
Basically 2009 brought all kinds of love stories for those in Tree Hill and we can be certain that the next half of the season will only bring a whole new batch of issues, tears, and what One Tree Hill has always had plenty of; a lot of heart.
What do you think the new year will bring for your favorite Tree Hill twosomes?
