Sophia Bush's Ups and Downs of Working on 'One Tree Hill' | Podcrushed Podcast

[@twentysvn]

Her voice will always be one of my favorite things in the world. It’s so soothing.

[@DjDarkD]

It's fragile, because it breaks every now and again. Something you simply cannot act easily on. Loved that in the show too. It made her get 2 different sides to her character.. On one side the tough girl being bitchy when needed and on the other, the lovely best friend to Peyton, always trying to do right by her, even after she sometimes had slipped.

[@britneyfalk1285]

She has literally not aged! Always stunning!

[@gloryyy599]

@Hsushisisjs idk why it is that whenever people like you see a female celebrity the first thing that crosses your mind is what work has she got done trust you'd never be this interested if it were man i mean we don't even speculate if penn has had any work done at all

[@gloryyy599]

@Hsushisisjs first of all not everyone expresses themselves through their facial features you'll find that some people have little to no motion on their face as they speak. if you "don't particularly care" then why point it out y'know it's like you're purposely looking for something to make this woman seem less than to idk make yourself feel better?

[@gloryyy599]

i find that a lot of women feel insecure seeing a beautiful successful woman so instead of congratulating them they feel the need to level out the playing field by suggesting something that has no merit with their looks in particular

[@gloryyy599]

@Hsushisisjs me? You’re the one that pointed it out in the first place….. I literally watched one tree hill all 9 seasons and she literally has the same motions when she speaks but y’know whatever you have to tell yourself to feel better

[@gloryyy599]

not to talk about the fact that in a new beauty interview she's asked what anti-aging advice do you follow? she says: To not think about aging. There are far more exciting, beautiful, wonderful ways for women to spend their time than worrying about whether or not they’re aging. so to suggest someone so secure would have surgery done doesn't make sense

[@urrockstargf111]

one tree hill and especially sophia's character brooke had such a huge impact on my life. i am so grateful that sophia gave us one of the most iconic and inspirational characters of all time.

[@Jeannek4493]

Agreed!!! I had this feeling about Joy’s character as well. They got me through high school

[@palakbhatt8121]

It’s true what she said at the end. The cast (and I’m sure crew too) are still so invested in One Tree Hill and their characters. they participate in One Tree Hill conventions and they continue to represent Tree Hill and their characters. Even all of these later. I honestly love it 💗

[@raffaelae1020]

They also all showed up at the Dramaqueens podcast rewatching the episodes together

[@thatgirl9532]

And they actually said they all of them would return to one tree hill for a reboot or a new season but due that boss she was talking about they can’t

[@miranda13c]

5:45 They’re absolutely right! John Tucker Must Die was one of my favorites, I had the DVD and would watch it every weekend lol and I rewatched it recently for the first time in many years and it still is iconic. Sophia was so good in that role. I think that is actually what I first remember seeing her in (as well as that video game horror movie called “Stay Alive” which was actually a really fun watch) before I started watching One Tree Hill.

[@elaynethayanne8978]

I love her, Brooke was so amazing, her development was phenomenal. One Tree Hill will always be my favorite show of all time, it meant so much for me.

[@LoveLaw]

She carried that show on her back. Made it enjoyable to watch.

OTH is one of the few shows I come back to every few years and binge start to finish.

[@jasminewillis7668]

When you find out that the show you quoted most from, and that gave you a place to go when you didn’t have a place to go was hiding such a dark secret you feel sick in your heart. One Tree Hill was and is our home. We adored that show. We fell in love with it. It was like having a best friend who just knew everything you were going through and exactly what to say to get you through it. I watched that entire series many times. Then all this came out about what these girls went thru. I am so sorry to Sophia and the other girls in what they endured from that abuser. It breaks my heart. Everytime I hear one of these brave ladies talk about it I want to give them a hug. ❤

[@mizuslayer]

i totally feel u - i suffer major double whammy bc wb shows were my lifeline growing up: buffy's my most fav show of all time and it was very disappointing to hear about joss; oth is my 2nd fav show of all time, and it was another blow to hear about mark.. i really enjoyed smallville as a third, and hearing about how deadly overworked tom was or how allison mack grew to be tech a sex trafficker/racketeer who's now in federal prison is just sad. but, people are weird creatures, and hollyweird is even weirder so, don't meet your "heroes" and avoid over-identifying w/ the fictions that you consume.

[@jasminewillis7668]

@@mizuslayer I completely agree. These shows were my lifeline growing up too. You find out that monsters are behind the scenes abusing the cast. That thing about Smallville hit me hard too. Finding out Allison was involved in sex trafficking was insane. I think sadly all the shows we loved growing up have dark secrets attached to them.

[@requiemoftruth]

Okay. Breathe! Im currently binging my way through all of OTH. I’m about to start season 9, the last. I’ve been following these revelations on how monstrous Mark Schwan was. I’m a late-30s white gay male. In my teens, I thought Tree Hill was boring. I was more of a wild OC fan. But I always kept my eye on the other teen drama that followed in The OC’s footsteps for the first four years. And it’s really cool to watch the whole thing as one piece now, knowing the trajectory and journey of the show. A quiet WB teen drama turned campy teen drama, turned time-jump romp with stalkers galore and the always lost Dan Scott character arc (tough dad turned jealous murderous brother turned victim turned *checks notes* televangelist? turned dead-beat diner cool turned *checks notes again* savior from Nathan’s kidnapping?). Then the show got extremely PG, boring, and nearly conflict free throughout season 8. But then season 9 goes for one more off-the-rails moment?! Love it!

It's been 20 years since it started, and 10 since it ended. Can't we?

[@jamesj8973]

That's so funny to hear that OTH's viewership skewed more to women (at least for a time). Aside from healthy dose of girl-power story lines here and there, the overall story of the show felt like it was based mainly on the Brothers so would appeal mostly to young guys wanting to watch and live vicariously. Glad to hear it was appreciated by a broader audience after all.

[@joslynhart9397]

I struggle with the dialogue about feeling stuck for the reasons stated in this part of the conversation, because some of them decided to extend their contracts after season 6. With other shows like Gossip Girl (and now Riverdale), they got out as soon as possible 😂 When you sign up for a high school show, that means a significant portion of time will be spent in high school…. Appreciate as humans we all have frustrations with our jobs. Maybe I just can’t relate as someone in a regular job.

[@tinasapienza6552]

But remember that actors are artists. They don’t want to play the same characters for too long.

[@joslynhart9397]

@@tinasapienza6552 which is why I made the point about them choosing to extend their contracts? For me, there is missing acknowledgment of choosing to sign an initial six year contract and subsequently deciding to extend this, because there are informed implications. Knowing how long you would need to stay is not a blindsided situation. Also, not wanting to stay in a job for so long is not singular to being actors or artists - we’re all fundamentally human beings. Some people may also like to stay for reasons like to economic stability (e.g Grey’s Anatomy from an acting perspective). Regardless, whenever I have conversations about work frustrations, personal choices aren’t dismissed from this.
