Chad Michael Murray was the first actor to be cast in the show, though creator Mark Schwahn originally wanted him to play Nathan, having seen him in bad guy roles before. But Murray himself wanted to play Lucas, because he felt that the character had a back story he could connect more to, since he also experienced being abandoned as a child. James Lafferty is the only regular cast member to be the actual teenager playing a high school student even though he's already 20 years old by the end of season two. Peyton's Internet address punkndisorderly. Music was such a huge part of the show that the fictional club Tric was written into the show in Season 2 so the writers could feature more bands and artists. Moira Kelly was pregnant during the first season, so Karen was sent to chef school in Italy. Since the start of One Tree Hill, James Lafferty and the cast and crew of the show host a basketball game toward the end of every season to benefit different charities. Along with these charity games, One Tree Hill has also hosted the Hurricane Katrina Relief Softball Game and, toward the end of the second season, the show's members also hosted a charity football game. At all charity events, most of the cast and crew get split into two teams and play. The proceeds of each game have gone to different charities.

Former One Tree Hill stars Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz have reunited for the podcast to rewatch the iconic teen series and share their own behind the scenes stories. After the first episode had the three ladies talking about how they ended up being cast on the show and what led up to it, the second episode is all about the pilot. After watching themselves in the pilot nearly 20 years after its release, the three actresses revealed they noticed a lot about hair in the pilot. Bethany Joy Lenz also revealed she was naturally blonde with curly hair, just like Hilarie Burton, so the minute she showed up they dyed her hair immediately and smoothed it out. As One Tree Hill fans know, Whitey was a huge part of the show as was his ongoing grief over the loss of his wife, but the show never took that original angle. One of the most interesting things Burton revealed after rewatching the pilot was that after the episode aired, there was a very bad fan reaction to her character Peyton!
One Tree Hill is one of the most iconic teen television shows for several reasons. For one, it's totally bonkers. Everything has happened on this show. Want proof? Look no further than when a dog ate Dan's new heart just minutes before he entered surgery. Simply put, we have One Tree Hill to thank for some truly great moments in teen entertainment history…. For every deliciously soapy One Tree Hill scene, there is a problematic moment.
