And that was just the beginning for viewers at home who were along for the strange ride.
Here are the things only adults notice inOne Tree Hill.
It’s the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person.
Who’s standing next to you?"
And Lucas?Here’s one snippet: “Truth is still absolute.
Even when that truth is hard and cold and more painful than you’ve ever imagined.
And even when truth is more cruel than any lie.”
Even the non-academically oriented jock Nathan has golden nuggets of wisdom to impart.
“Life is funny sometimes.
Where is the adult supervision in One Tree Hill?
But a shocking number of the youngsters do this completely on their own, left to their own devices.
In the early years, Brooke and Peyton essentially live alone in huge houses due to absentee parents.
Brooke later moves into an apartment on her own with only financial support from her parents.
Even when Haley gets pregnant during her senior year, she handles it alone.
All of this adds to the drama, but it’s also a huge reach.
If anything, staff at Tree Hill High should have called Child Protective Services on these unsupervised kids.
First-time authors generally geta small starting advance, and they usually have to keep their day jobs.
This also would never happen since millions of dollars had already been sunk into a failed project.
Why are so many famous people visiting such a small town in One Tree Hill?
Yes, this is super meta, but it’s also totally unreal.
How does Haley, a high-school student, end up on ahuge cross-country tour?
This is impossible on so many levels, unless a guardian was with her.
And it’s also the place where random celebrities stop in and throw impromptu acoustic shows.
Let’s be real even kids should have noticed this one, not just adults.
And both live without any health complications.
In a surprising narrative twist that was the first of its kind (viaE!
Lucas is a bestselling novelist and gets a movie deal.

And later in Season 6, a 20-something Brooke becomes a foster mother to a teenage girl.
How does this even happen?
How does One Tree Hill’s Uncle Keith snag a teaching job?
Beloved Uncle Keith is the father Lucas never had and the partner that Karen never had.
He is loving and gentle, aJack Pearson-throw in character long beforeThis is Us.
But there is a huge hole in Uncle Keith’s arc that only adults would notice.
After this incredible fiasco, Keith decides to leave Tree Hill for a while and teach.
However, Uncle Keith is a mechanic with only a high school degree and no higher education at all.
How could he suddenly land a job as a teacher with no qualifications?
Even mechanics teachers require certifications.
It was an odd way to write the character out of the show’s main story.
Carrie has a psychotic break and decides she wants to replace Haley.
Carrie eventually ends up kidnapping Jamie before getting killed by Dan Scott.
This arc is incredibly over the top, even forOne Tree Hill.
But Clay’s story gets even more bizarre.
In his grief, Clay somehowforgot that he had a son.
What’s with Dan Scott’s never-ending attempted redemption arcs in One Tree Hill?
He should have gotten life in prison and maybe eligibility for parole after a couple decades.
That’s an awful lot to overlook!
