One বৃক্ষ পাহাড় has morphed from a প্রদর্শনী about the drama revolving around a high school বাস্কেটবল team into a complete spectacle of crazy plotlines and psycho characters.

And we've loved every মিনিট of it.

One constant on OTH has been James Lafferty, who plays one half of fan-favorite couple Nathan and Haley Scott (Bethany Joy Galeotti). অথবা "Naley," if আপনি will. The fate of the প্রদর্শনী is still up in the air, but James did give us a little insight for the rest of the season, plus scoop on what he'll be doing next...


"I'm actually shooting my last দিন of the season [this week], so I already know what is happening for Nathan here at the end," James tells us. "I can tell আপনি that the অনুরাগী won't be disappointed."

That bit of info is cryptic to the untrained One বৃক্ষ পাহাড় fan, but we have a Ph.D. in OTHology, so let's break this down. অনুরাগী want to see Nathan and Haley living happily ever after above anything else, since life has been a hard-core roller coaster ever since that fateful first তারিখ over বিস্কুট Jack. Sounds like Nathan and his family will be getting the glowing sunset sendoff they deserve, should this be the final season of One বৃক্ষ Hill.

"In the past, we've always had to wait to find out whether অথবা not we would be coming back for another season," James says. "We've gotten used to finishing up seasons with an eye on the possibility that it may be our last. I don't think this season is any different."


আপনি know what that means, OTH experts. Storylines are being wrapped up. Characters possibly being brought back for a goodbye. Most importantly, OTH wants to treat their অনুরাগী right during the final episodes.

"I don't see how I could thank the অনুরাগী enough. They have always kept us on the air," James insists. "Without them, One বৃক্ষ পাহাড় doesn't last one episode—let alone eight seasons. I will always be grateful and look back on my experience with the প্রদর্শনী as a defining period in my life."


James already has a passion project lined up for himself, and it involves his costar Stephen Colletti, plus his brother Stuart Lafferty. Wild Life: A New Generation of Wild is an unscripted series exploring the wildest places in America. Award-winning nature photographer and লেখক Ian Shive teamed up with the OTH boys in an effort to bring exploration and travel to a new generation. "They are very much into the outdoors and always have been, which is really important," Ian tells us about James & Co. "If they didn't like it, then it wouldn't work."


"All of us have known Ian and been big অনুরাগী of his work for a few years now," James says about the new project. "We've been interested in the idea of tagging along on one of his many ফটোগ্রাফি trips, and when this idea was proposed we jumped at the chance. It's a fantastic opportunity and I have no doubt it will be an overwhelming learning experience. On শীর্ষ of that, we get to raise awareness for our National Parks system, which gets its support from the people who utilize it."
