The One Tree Hill Podcast begins its three-part segment, introducing the new cast members of One Tree Hill, with an exclusive interview with Shantel Van Santen, on August 31.
Van Santen plays Quinn James, the older sister of Haley James Scott, played by Bethany Joy Galeotti. Quinn returns to Tree Hill after a failed marriage and looks to put her personal and professional life on track with the help of her family.
“I think there is a point where you just need to go home to find out who you are,” Van Santen said about her character of Quinn. “She is looking for that connection and I think she is trying to find that again with her sister, Haley.”
Prior to hitting the small screen on One Tree Hill, Van Santen can be seen in the latest installment of the Final Destination franchise, The Final Destination 3-D opening on August 28. She plays Lori Milligan who escapes a deadly accident at a car race after her boyfriend persuades her and her friends to leave before the tragedy occurs. The group then tries to escape the fate of death.
“I am not a fan of horror films,” Van Santen admits. “But after taking on the role, I think it was good for me and we spent three months running around in mud and screaming. The screaming was one of the hard parts your voice would be hoarse for days.”
The One Tree Hill Podcast continues its exclusive interviews with the new One Tree Hill cast members as it welcomes Robert Buckley on September 7 and Jana Kramer on September 15.
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask a question : Will we see Barbara Alyn Woods playing “DEB” in the upcoming season ?
Because We don’t have any information about that, Mark Schwann talks about the departure of Chad and Hillary, never Barbara’s…
She’s bound to be back, right? I really liked her & Skills as a couple btw.
