As One Tree Hill continues to grow and break new ground, the show enters its ninth season with close to 200 episodes under its belt. Last season in Tree Hill, there were a great number of changes - both personal and professional - including the momentous and captivating marriage of Brooke and Julian, a change of career for Nathan and more than one family welcoming new additions. Through it all, One Tree Hill continues to explore the delicate balance that contemporary young people face as they endeavor to build and define what their lives will be, while overcoming difficulties and embracing the good things that they sometimes take for granted. The series, now in its ninth season, continues to celebrate the most important things - among them the quest for love, laughter, health, friends, career and family - timeless pursuits that have always mattered, and matter still.
