One Tree Hill Series Finale: The Beginning of the End

I'm a bit overwhelmed now that the countdown has started till the series finale of ONE TREE HILL - but fans are not the only ones acknowledging the significance of tonight's episode: Bethany Joy Lenz has taken to youtube and her blog to commemorate her nine revolutionary years on One Tree Hill. (Disclaimer: You're going to need the Kleenex).

JUST A LITTLE HI :)

"Thank you so much for an amazing 9 years, I will be watching with all of you tonight and remembering and looking back." 

GOODNIGHT, TREE HILL

"So, I just want to say thank you to everyone who invested in our show. You didn't just provide me with a lifestyle or job. You were part of giving me experiences that have molded who I am and that have prepared me for the next leg of my journey in life, which is going to be a drastic change in many ways. In a strange way, an indirect way… I supposed we raised each other."

In less than 10 minutes the episode will begin, here's a new episode still and sneak peek just in case you missed it:

Sophia Bush teases 'One Tree Hill' trauma to come and the 'perfect' series finale

According to Zap2it's latest interview with One Tree Hill star, Sophia Bush, we find out that Joy filmed commentary for the series finale. The article states that " Sophia recently watched the series finale -- she and co-stars Bethany Joy Galeotti, Antwon Tanner, and Lee Norris did a DVD commentary on it." This is definitely more reason to buy the season 9 DVD boxset. Very exciting!
