What About One Tree Hill?

Last night the CW aired the last One Tree Hill episode with stars Chad Micheal Murray and Hilarie Burton playing Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer-Scott. As fans of the show know, the pair recently became married on the show and in the last episode had a baby girl. In the last scene, characters Lucas, Peyton, and their baby are in the car and drive off. With this I have to ask, what is going to happen to the show now?

For those that don't watch the show, One Tree Hill centers around the lives of brothers Nathan and Lucas Scott along with their friends and family in the fictional city of Tree Hill. Lucas and Peyton have had an on and off relationship throughout the shows history, and are in a way the top couple on the show aside from Nathan and his wife Haley.

I've watched the show for a while, and I have to say that last night's episode was a little disappointing. Even though everyone's story lines ended on a happy note, I wanted Lucas and Peyton's exit to be different compared to what happened. Having them just drive away without any reasoning seemed like a bad way to end their storyline.

I'm curious to see how they are going to survive without these characters; most shows don't survive after characters leave. Some reports say that the show is going to bring on new characters to join the cast; one being Austin Nichols as Julian who has had a recurring role this season. Two other characters that are said to be added is a model for Brooke Davis' clothing line and Haley's older sister who manages Nathan's basketball career.

According to a newspaper out of Wilmington, the show will start taping again June 17th for the new season. Until then fan will have to live with Peyton's motto, "People always leave."
