The day is here.

April 4th, 2012. The last ever episode of One Tree Hill airs tonight.

For long time fans this may seem a lot more surreal than to people who have just recently picked up the show.
The long time fans were there when there was almost no full season 1. They were there when The WB became The CW. They were there during the writers strike of ‘07-‘08. They were there during the confusion and sadness when 2 core characters left the show. They fought to bring it back the show after season 5..after season 6..after season 7..and after season 8.

The most important qualities that OTH fans possess are passion and loyalty. If the fans lacked those qualities, the show would not have made it to this day. 

We all grew together, cried together, laughed together, gasped together. After 9 years of basketball, break ups, amazing music, girl fights, babies, weddings, funerals, car crashes, and of course, psychos, we made it to this day. 

We wouldn’t have this show without Mark Schwahn and Joe Davola and we are forever grateful to them. We hope that all fans will continue to support their future endeavors, as well as those of the cast. 

To name every member of the cast from the past 9 years and thank them for bringing such honest characters to life would take days! 
There’s no doubt that the talent is absolutely overflowing within this show, from the extras to the recurring characters and from the guest stars to the regulars. 

However, we cannot go without giving a special thank you to James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Lenz, Sophia Bush, Chad Michael Murray, and Hilarie Burton.
The “Core 5”.
The fact that Chad and Hilarie were not in all nine seasons doesn’t take away from the fact that the characters they portrayed are part of the essence of OTH. All five of these actors and their characters helped build the foundation of One Tree Hill, and that will never be forgotten. 

From the OTH Access Blog, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the support over the years. The purpose of this blog has been to provide OTH fans with a place to go to have access to everything about their favorite show. All the facts and all the latest news. Every follow, reblog, like, and kind message have been so greatly appreciated!

Now where do we go from here? Well, the good thing about saying “goodnight” is that you know that night doesn’t last forever and there’s sunshine on the other end. 

So keep watching OTH on SoapNet, buy all the DVDs, have fun marathons with your friends, suport the cast and crew in their future projects! The idea of a reunion in the future is not impossible! ;)

Most importantly: keep your loyalty and passion going strong.
