Oh Chase! As soon as we saw Chuck's bruises I knew that Chase was going to beat his Dad. So sad that Chuck knew exactly what he was doing; his poor little head will be so conflicted about what's right and what's wrong.

Oh WOW at Clay and Logan. I never saw that coming in a thousand years. I wonder if they always had this planned for him, even since last season, so clever.

And aside from Lucas' rubbish return my only other criticism of this season is Nathan's kidnapping which I find a little bit too daytime soapy for my liking. That said though Bethany has been AMAZING, I really feel her pain and her love for Nathan.

I really enjoyed the last episode, was better than the episode beforehand.

Spoiler

I have two theories on the death having read a snippet of a spoiler before. It said the death was 'heroic and selfless' so I'm thinking it's either the bent copper after hayleys emotional meltdown in the copshop or....gotta be Dan. Dies rescuing Nathan.

any other thoughts?

I am going for Dan. He is craving redemption and I think that is the only way he is going to get it - by dying a hero.

Nah, I reckon they just made this one up to give him a dramatic storyline for the last series....Can't remember there being any hints before this, and they weren't even sure they were getting this series so I bet it was invented recently.

I'm sorry

I didn't think about the show not having aired in the UK yet, I just presumed the thread was US pace.

The thread is US pace, ever since the OP posted it, its been full of cast spoilers and discussions about the new episodes as they aired in the US.

To those who think otherwise, this is a season 9 discussion thread, given that season 9 hasn't even aired in the UK yet, don't start complaining if you find people actually discussing season 9 episodes in here that have already aired in the US.

I've been trying to watch these episodes online.

They're very poor. I'm keeping up because I genuinely love the characters. OTH has meant quite a lot to me from when it started and I want to see how it ends. But in all honesty, the show has never been the same since series 5/6. There have been a few highlights in the last 3 series but overall I do think it should have ended a long time ago, probably series 6 when Peyton/Lucas left.

Clay I like... but Quinn?! I'm sorry I just find her really annoying.

The happy ending for Brooke with her baby boys was lovely... but would Brooke, who had been so, so desperate to have a child really be carrying so much stuff on stepladders in the cafe whilst heavily pregnant? I know the boys were alright but it was just drama for drama's sake. That's just one example of how it's gone a little... down the pan.

I still absolutely adore Haley and Brooke though, they're such strong women. I do hope that the ending to this season is one worthy of being the whole drama's finale.

[LiveLoveDANCE]

I am loving this season, sad it's all ending though!! as i was watching last weeks episode the shocks were good!! apart from the cop twist!!
i know i've already said it but Logan is the cutest!!!
need to watch this weeks episode!

[Collybird]

LOL so much at 'You should give Deb back her clothes'.

[sheddy99]

The character of Tara is SOOOO annoying! She has amazing chemistry with Stephen Colletti but that's understandable
I just want her to do one and take Xavier with her!

[Cole Deschanel]

I gotta say I kinda enjoyed the opening episode of Season 9. It's owhere near as good as Seasons 1 - 5 but it's a blatent improvement from the crap in Seasons 6 - 8. Is Chris Keller due to appear properly or is he a recurring character? He looked rather nice on that black suit when sittong in the office but I still find him talking in third-person annoying. LOVED the mini scene of HUNKY Chase sitting on the bed in his tight white undies waiting for Alex. He's beautiful.

Tara is annoying. Seems odd that she has just come out of the blue and being a bitch to Brooke and Haley so wonder if there is actually a reason for her doing it or if she is simply just a bitch.

Hope she gets her comeuppance by the end of the series.

I hate her too.

I think Stephen Colletti has amazing chemistry with whoever he's paired with. I really rooted for him and Mia and couldn't imagine him every being with anyone else, but then I preferred him with Alex.

I love Chase. I'm a sucker for the little background characters who work their way up to starring status.

I second that.

[LeonalewisJfan]

Nooooooo
Dans dead I'm not happy, he was the best character

[nats18]

Gotta say first ep I've really liked this year well I skipped Clay and Quinn but they were barely in it. In a way it's good Dan died and got a hero's death.

[Bex.]

he died? but he's in the next ep?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WTy7p2Tj6s

[Collybird]

Great episode.

I had to laugh though, it was so obvious that 1) Tara would save Brooke, 2) Dan would get shot and 3) Julian would save the day.
