One Tree Hill

Episodes are all names of songs/albums titles. Artists whose album name/song title features as an episode title are sometimes seen in the soundtrack, but not always.

Chad Michael Murray was the first actor to be cast in the show, though creator Mark Schwahn originally wanted him to play Nathan, having seen him in bad guy roles before. But Murray himself wanted to play Lucas, because he felt that the character had a back story he could connect more to, since he also experienced being abandoned as a child.

Cast members Chad Michael Murray (Lucas), Bethany Joy Lenz (Haley), and James Lafferty (Nathan) each directed an episode for the first time during season 6.
