Moira Kelly, who plays Karen Roe, visits the One Tree Hill Podcast on May 19 to talk about her guest stint on the One Tree Hill season six finale and she talked about returning to Wilmington and the One Tree Hill set. She also shared her thoughts on the recent news that Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton would not be returning to One Tree Hill for the seventh season.
Moira Kelly’s comments on Hilarie Burton not returning next season:
“Hilarie and I were talking about how it has to end at some point. When you are performer you get into your characters and you love them and you work them and you grow with them, but at some point it all has to come to an end. The beauty is to reflect back on where that character began. When I think of the character of Peyton, the first images are so gothic. I told Hilarie, you had really curly blonde hair and you were this tough chick when the show started. I said Hilarie think about how that character developed – that is a body of work. And so you take that with you. Leaving is never easy, but it is also very exciting. Hilarie has so much more going on and she is going to be fine. She has a great sensibility for the business. She is going to do really well. She is a very smart young actress.”.”

My wife and I were vacationing in Los Angeles. On Saturday, July 11, 2009 at around 4:30 pm (CST), we went to get a few things at the Ralph’s store (grocery store) in Beverly Hills and saw Moira Kelly pushing a shopping cart with her two kids with her.
My wife went up to her and talked to her. She seemed to be a very pleasant person and shook both of our hands. My wife told her that we are from Texas and she mentioned that her husband is from Dallas.
It was a very nice encounter. I wish more people in the entertainment business were like her with humble hearts.
keep up the good work be watching from a far as your oldest fan “cuz” take care always destinytime7 yahoo.com
