It's here, the final season of One Tree Hill!  OTH fans have been looking forward to this chapter for as long as I can remember, and the premiere did not disappoint! It was as gripping a start as Tree Hill has ever seen.

A mysterious opening where bad things happened to everyone (including Haley crying over a dead body), One Tree Hill's Season 9 premiere had creepy open doors, surreal silent car rides, sleepless nights, and- in a sign that bad things are sure to start happening- the return of Chris Keller.

The Season 9 premiere of One Tree Hill was definitely fun and a nice return for all the characters we know and love, but there were a lot of ominous teasers that made it seem like tragedy is going to come hard and fast for the show's final season.  Not to mention the most anticipated moment still ahead- the return of Lucas (Chad Michael Murray). That episode airs February 22nd. Has everyone missed Lucas and been wondering what his character has been up to? It should make for some interesting television.

Press Pass LA was lucky enough to catch up with one of the series leading ladies, Sophia Bush, at the recent Art of Elysium Heaven Gala and find out her thoughts on the where the season will take us and what's next for her once the final episode airs.
