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.”
Oh well, i think it would be great !! looking forward to it, thanks for the info.

I’m so excited to hear this interview – I got to know my wife through a ‘My So-Called Life’ mailing list, so I cherish that show and the actors who worked on it (our 10th anniversary is this month!). Great to see Bess Armstrong in such a familiar setting – my wife & I regularly visit the Wilmington area. Thanks for the work you do, and congratulations on your success.
