I am so excited about tonight because, drum roll please … One Tree Hill returns!  Woo-hoo!  I cannot begin tell you how much I’ve missed my #1 guilty pleasure.  It seems like a lifetime ago since Julian left for California, Brooke missed her chance to go with him, and Hayley taught her students in her living room.  Flash ahead to tonight where we will see the return of Brooke’s Mommy Dearest, played with 100% bitchiness by Melrose Place alum Daphne Zuniga.  OT — does anyone else think Mommy Bitchy would be a perfect pairing with Dan?  Could just be me but that is one pairing I’d love to see.

I was thrilled to hear that Austin Nichols signed on for next season.  Another woo-hoo!  Julian is the guy for Brooke, understands her completely and loves her for who she is, a first for Brooke, IMHO.  It will be wonderful to see their romance blossom next season.  

What else will happen this year?  For certain, we’ll see a wedding and a pregnancy in peril with Peyton and Lucas.  Karen and Whitey will return for the finale.  Sam’s mom will be back in the picture while Brooke and her own mom will deal with their many issues.  Julian will eventually return from California (yeay).  What else?  We’ll have to wait and see.  Waiting is the hardest part, isn’t it?

Here’s a peak at tonight’s episode:

I love Brooke and Sam!  Sam: “She frightened me.”  Brooke: “Yeah, me too.”  Too funny.  This will be another fabulous episode my fellow One Tree Hill-ers. 

Enjoy!
