History Series / OneTreeHill

* Nathan and Haley have been married since Season 1, as juniors in high school, and have been identified as a "supercouple." Though there have been complications in their marriage, they've managed to last through the ensuing nine seasons. Their [[{{TeenPregnancy}} teen pregnancy]] also gave them a son, Jamie, born on their graduation day.
* By the end of season 6 also [[spoiler: Lucas and Peyton.]]
* Halfway through season 8 also [[spoiler: Brooke and Julian.]]

* BreatherEpisode: Episode 3x18 qualifies, since 3x13 and 3x15 through 17 all have [[{{DownerEnding}} Downer Endings]] to the max. In 3x18, "When It Isn't Like It Should Be", you've got a cabin getaway, Brooke pleasuring herself, Pete Wentz, and Nathan re-proposing to Haley (and her saying yes). ''D'awwwww.''

** Seasons 3 & 4 cover the group's Senior year, with Haley being pregnant for the majority of the fourth season, as is [[spoiler:Karen with Keith's child]], with both of them giving birth to their children the day of the main character's graduation at the end of the fourth season. Also notable, is that Lucas & Brooke's relationship (Which takes place in the second half of the third season) lasted around 6 months on-screen but just about two in-universe months; whilst Lucas & Peyton's relationship the following season has them together for the same number of episodes but covers a period of time that is at least twice as long, if not even thrice.

** Season 6 covers about one year as in fact it takes place few days after Jamie’s fifth birthday (which takes place almost at the end of season 5) and then season 7 starts with his seventh birthday after another TimeSkip of just over a year since the season 6 finale.

** Season 6 is explicitly stated to cover an eight-month period by Peyton [[spoiler:when she notes that she's going to be 8 months pregnant in her wedding photos]].
** Season 7 takes place after a 14-month TimeSkip. It starts with Jamie's birthday, and Nathan doesn't report for pre-season training until the following season, which means the season takes place over a few months.

** The bulk of Season 9 takes place over close to two months. The final moments of the season, and the show, skip forward around 6 years.

** The Season 7 opener, "4:30 AM (Apparently They Were Traveling Abroad)" also begins 14 months into the future from the Season 6 finale, "Remember Me as a Time of Day", in order to more firmly establish the absence of Lucas, Peyton, and Sawyer and introduce new characters that were already friends with the cast, like Clay.

** In Season 6, Skills refers to ''Film/CoachCarter'' as his favorite sports movie. Creator/AntwonTaylor, who plays Skills, starred in said movie.

* BeachEpisode: Pool variant: 3x02, "From The Edge of The Deep Green Sea", consists of a beach party put together by Brooke. There's also a memorable pool fight in 7x14, "Family Affair", when a catfight between the James sisters slowly devolves into one.

*** Averted in Season 4, but Brooke is ''convinced'' that this is the case.

* HappilyMarried: Nathan and Haley have been married since Season 1, as juniors in high school, and have been identified as a "supercouple." Though there have been complications in their marriage, they've managed to last through the ensuing nine seasons. Their [[{{TeenPregnancy}} teen pregnancy]] also gave them a son, Jamie, born on their graduation day.

** Rewatching Season 3 with the knowledge that Peyton realises that she's in love with Lucas by the finale puts a lot of the moments where Peyton appeared to be pining after Jake in a different light, as a lot of the things she says don't really apply to her relationship with Jake.

** Jake Jagielski serves as one for Peyton. They date through the second half of the second season, and all the relationship really serves as is a smokescreen that allows the writers to disguise a lot of the foreshadowing towards Peyton's true feelings for Lucas as simply being her pining for Jake.
** Lindsay, Lucas' fiancee from Season 5. Mark Schwahn states on the Season 5 DVD that the intention behind Lindsey was (whilst still working towards Lucas & Peyton getting back together) to introduce a new love interest for Lucas, who wasn't blatantly there just to serve as an obvious false lead & could very easily be the right girl for Lucas in a different way to Peyton.

* BigDamnReunion: [[Lucas and Peyton at the beginning of season 6.]]

* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: Owen Morello, Brooke's Season 5 love interest, returned midway through Season 6, before suffering a relapse (He was a recovered alcoholic) & sleeping with Millie in the very same episode which started the Brooke[=/=]Julian ship. He was PutOnABus the following episode.

** In episode 3x09, the Angel of Death (The manifestation of Peyton's subconscious) lists several of Peyton's worries, including "Should Lucas be with me instead of Brooke?", which isn't mentioned again until 3x16 & 3x21.

* OfficialCoupleOrdealSyndrome: Lucas & Peyton. Even though one of the major arcs of the first season is their developing relationship, it takes until halfway through the fourth season -- after two love triangles, two dead parental figures, a car crash, drug use, a school shooting, and a pyscho stalker -- for the two of them to finally become a couple. And then they break up during the 4 year TimeSkip, and only get back together & eventually get married over the course of the sixth season.

* OppositesAttract: Several examples, including Nathan and Haley, Brooke and Lucas, Brooke and Julian, Brooke and Chase, Alex and Chase, Dan and Karen, Mouth and Rachel and more.

** Seasons 3 & 4 cover the group's Senior year, with Haley being pregnant for the majority of the fourth season, as is [[spoiler:Karen with Keith's child]], with both of them giving birth to their children the day of the main character's graduation at the end of the fourth season. Also notable, is that Lucas & Brooke's relationship (Which takes place in the second half of the third season) lasted around 6 months on-screen but just about two in-universe months; whilst Lucas & Peyton's relationship the following season has them together for the same number of episodes but covers a period of time that is at least twice as long, if not even triple.

** Seasons 3 & 4 cover the group's Senior year, with Haley being pregnant for the majority of the fourth season, as is [[spoiler:Karen with Keith's child]]. Also notable, is that Lucas & Brooke's relationship (Which takes place in the second half of the third season) lasted around 6 months on-screen but just under two in-universe months; whilst Lucas & Peyton's relationship the following season has them together for the same number of episodes but covers a period of time that is nearly twice as long.

''One Tree Hill'' was a TeenDrama about two half-brothers, Lucas (Creator/ChadMichaelMurray) and Nathan Scott (Creator/JamesLafferty), living in the fictional town of Tree Hill, UsefulNotes/NorthCarolina. [[CoolLoser Lucas]] was abandoned at birth by their father [[ArchnemesisDad Dan Scott]] (Creator/PaulJohansson), and lives as a loner with his mom and his father's elder brother [[CoolUncle Keith]] (Creator/CraigSheffer) serving as his father figure.

** In the second episode of season five, Peyton and Brooke talked to Nathan, now DisabledHottie, and cheered him up by saying the second and third best night of his life just walked in, referring to their [[TheCasanova past relationships with him]].

* AnythingThatMoves: Nathan prior to meeting Haley. It's actually quite gross once you realize that he's slept with Peyton, Haley, [[spoiler: Brooke in the sex tape]], and lost his virginity to Haley's older sister...

''One Tree Hill'' was a TeenDrama about two half-brothers, Lucas (Creator/ChadMichaelMurray) and Nathan Scott (Creator/JamesLafferty), living in the fictional town of Tree Hill, NC. [[CoolLoser Lucas]] was abandoned at birth by their father [[ArchnemesisDad Dan Scott]] (Creator/PaulJohansson), and lives as a loner with his mom and his father's elder brother [[CoolUncle Keith]] (Creator/CraigSheffer) serving as his father figure.

** "[[spoiler:Open your eyes]]" during Season 4, as Lucas tries to find out the truth about [[spoiler:Keith's death]].

* TheBeard: Lucas acted as this for Anna in Season 2. Whether or not she was a lesbian or bisexual is debated.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: DudeMagnet Brooke is the Beauty, TheSmartGirl Haley and CuteBruiser Peyton is the Brawn.

* TheyDo:
** Nathan and Haley: 2x01, "The Desperate Kingdom of Love", shows their wedding. 3x22, "The Show Must Go On", is their vow renewal.
** Lucas and Peyton: 6x23, "Forever and Almost Always".
** Brooke and Julian: 8x13, "The Other Half of Me".
** [[spoiler:Clay & Quinn]]: 9x13, "[[GrandFinale One Tree Hill]]". [[spoiler:Mouth & Millie get married at some point during the final TimeSkip]].

** Happens during Season 3, with [[Music/FallOutBoy Pete Wentz]] taking part, and the coining of the term "[[ADateWithRosiePalms Brooke-ing]]".

* UnusualEuphemism: After Brooke is caught having ADateWithRosiePalms, "Brooke-ing yourself" became a euphemism both in the show and among the fans.

%% * AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Peyton, Brooke, Haley and Rachel are all cheerleaders during the first 4 seasons, and none of them struggle for male attention

%% * AllWomenAreLustful: "[[PhraseCatcher Gigi Silveri, ladies & gentlemen]]."

%% * PuppyLove: Jamie & Madison.

%% * AllGuysWantCheerleaders:

* AmbiguousDisorder: Depending on one's interpretation, an argument could be made that Dan demonstrates several signs of having Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: In 3x18, this was used hilariously when Rachel catches Brooke in the act. Brooke asks if she could've knocked, to which Rachel replies, "Well, I didn't know you'd be [[UnusualEuphemism Brooke-ing yourself!]]" After that, it was adopted into the show's vernacular (a late Season 3 episode, in a joke re-enactment of Haley and Nathan's courtship scripted by Brooke, had "Haley" say the line "And I Haley myself on occasion!").
** Used again in season eight when Clay tells Nathan that what with his girlfriend being out of town and him not being able to move his arm after getting shot his sex life isn't going so well. Nathan's response? "Why do you think I learned to dribble with both hands?"
** Also used in season four during an argument between Nathan and Haley after the Brooke/Nathan sex tape. Haley is throwing out all of the VHS tapes in the house for fear of finding another sex tape and proceeds to tell Nathan that "the thought of you Brooke-ing yourself to yourself and Brooke really makes me sick."

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: Stated in the commentary for episode 4x21, "All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone," by [[WordOfGod Mark Schwahn]] that whenever they did this with Paul Johannson, [[ThrowItIn he'd stay in character until they cut]] -- One example is one of Dan's final scenes of Season 4, as originally the shot was [[spoiler:just of Dan in his jail cell, before he looks up at a pipe. Johannson ad-libbed the part where Dan grabs his bedsheets & starts tearing them apart to make a noose]].

* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Done in the first episode of Season 5, with Peyton in Los Angeles & Brooke in New York whilst everyone else is back in Tree Hill. Mark Schwahn states in an extra on the Season 5 DVD that it was done within the first episode to avoid [[ArcFatigue people asking why Peyton & Brooke still aren't back in Tree Hill after several episodes]].
