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.
