Amanda Schull will be a guest on the One Tree Hill Podcast on February 23 to talk about her return to One Tree Hill.

Schull took on the role of Sara, Clay’s ill-fated wife in a handful of episodes prior to her return this February. Schull will be playing tennis star Katie Ryan, who bears a striking resemblance to Clay’s, played by Robert Buckley, late wife.

“I am so excited to be back on One Tree Hill,” Schull admitted. “I talked to the writers in November about this character, and I like there is a bit of mystery about her.”

Schull struck a cord with the One Tree Hill fan base in the fall when she hit the screen as Sara. So much so, the One Tree Hill producers found a way to bring her back on the show.

“I’ve never had a response like I have with One Tree Hill, it was really heart-warming,” Schull said. “I know how dedicated the fans are to the show and to the and for them to welcome and appreciate Sara, sort of a newbie, when they are so loyal to the series regulars, it was really generous. I really felt strongly about her and our storyline, and the way that people responded to her and our storyline, was just icing on the cake.”

The podcast will also have a clip from One Tree Hill writer Terrence Coli about the writer’s task of creating the new character of Katie Ryan for Schull.

The February 22 episode of One Tree Hill is a pivotal episode, not only for its dramatic overtones, but also for the show’s fate. The One Tree Hill Twitter site, www.twitter.com/realonetreehill, has posted numerous tweets about the importance of viewership numbers as the show’s eighth season is in doubt, after not receiving an early pick-up by The CW.

An “Artist Alley” segment with Trent Dabbs opens the podcast, as he talks about his new album and his two songs in this week’s epsiode – “Same Way Twice” and “Look Back On.”  To close out the podcast, Denise and Stephanie are back to review this week’s episode “At the Bottom of Everything.”

NEXT WEEK: An exclusive interview with Amanda Schull about her return to One Tree Hill. Also, comments from One Tree Hill writer Terence Coli about how the writers created the new character of Katie Ryan for Schull.

The One Tree Hill Podcast will air an exclusive interview with Bess Armstrong on February 9 as she talks about reprising her role of Lydia James.

Armstrong originated the role of Lydia, on One Tree Hill, in two episodes of season two. She along with Huey Lewis, who played  Haley’s father Jim James, were brought into the storyline when two characters dealt with their daughter, Haley’s marriage to Nathan.

 “I loved this character,” Armstrong admits. “She is such a wonderfully rich and interestingly drawn character, kind of fun and artsy and full of life.”

After Armstrong’s character fulfilled her purpose of giving Haley’s character permission to marry, she thought the storyline was over. However, five years later, Lydia James is back and there are a few changes.

“Imagine my surprise, when I left the I had one daughter on the show, when I came back I had three,” Armstrong joked. “It is so exciting to be back on, I have enjoyed my time.”
