Over the course of their One Tree Hill rewatch podcast, which launched in June 2021, the Bethany, Sophia and Hilarie have often gotten candid about their lives both on-set and off. And in addition to reminiscing about the long running series, which ended after nine seasons in 2012, they haven’t shied away from difficult topics, including misconduct allegations against creator Mark Schwahn. (He has never addressed the allegations.)
As Sophia put it the three actresses—who also act as producers on the podcast—decided to create the tell-all project with the intention of focusing on the good that came from the show.
“For us, this was really about reclaiming our show,” Bush explained in a January 2022 interview on CBS Mornings. “It was about taking all of the joy and the power back and taking out the trash.”
She added, “And that that feels really, really nice to us. It’s allowed us to completely love our show. And not to be cheesy, but it feels like it might be a model for healing for other people as well. Reclamation feels pretty badass, if I do say so myself.”
