One Tree Hill: A Nate/Jamie Rock Band experience, plus James Lafferty spills!


One Tree Hill returns on Monday, and The CW sent out a little taste of what we can expect. Check it out:

Fun, right?

Even more fun: We got to talk with James Lafferty, who promised us that the final episodes of the season would give us plenty of reasons to tune in. Find out what James had to say about his favorite moments for Nathan, filming in Utah and making a movie with Robert Buckley after the jump!

James told us the Jamie/Nathan KISS fun was all part of his character "putting in the dad time that he wasn't able to able to put in while he was playing so much basketball." Until the end of the season, Nate "gets to be a father and a husband" -- a situation that James appreciates.

"The most gratifying part [I get to play] is Nathan being in those situations where he can be a father and husband because he's come so far. It's where he always wanted to be, so it's great to play him in that situation."

And Nathan's support as a husband and friend will be increasingly important as Haley and Quinn deal with the death of their mother, James says. Those sort of emotionally taxing scenes can be the most challenging and rewarding, he said.

Also rewarding: Hanging out with Jackson Brundage's character, Jamie, who is so much more than just a little kid. "Jamie has become sort of the giver of sage advice - it's like we lost Whitey and he's been reincarnated in this wise little boy."

Jamie's wise advise may be necessary if rumors of a Tree Hill pregnancy are true -- but James wouldn't tell us one way or the other. "It's always a possibility," he told us. "But I can't really say whether it will happen or not, or who it would be if it did happen."

So what can he tell us? "Fans can expect a lot of definite reasons to tune in," he told us. "People are making decisions all around. And they'll have reasons to tune in next year if we come back."

About that... James doesn't know about the show's fate any more than we do. "It changes every week -- you can speculate all you want, read the blogs, pay attention to the message boards, but it's so completely out of my hands that I just close myself off from it." If the show does come back, he said, it will be the fans that make it happen. "The fans are so vocal and active -- it's one of the reasons we love what we do."
