In a way it seemed like a series finale, not a season finale.  Perhaps, the producers and writers weren’t sure if they would be granted a season seven at the time the finale was made.

I am very, very grateful that the writers did not kill of Peyton.  I think it would have been a terrible way for her to go, especially when she had so much influence on the show and to the viewers. 

Now the question arises, how will the producers and writers get rid of Peyton, Lucas and Sawyer?  Will Luke get a writing gig that will cause them to move?  Or will Peyton’s record company all of a sudden take off and land them in Hollywood?  Maybe baby Sawyer have a medical condition that causes them to move for medical care.  We’ll just have to sit tight and wait it out.

Will One Tree Hill be able to survive without Luke and Peyton?  Afterall, they were the core of the show since season one.  It was always about their struggle to be together. 

Now, what if Luke and Peyton stayed on the show?  Would we be happy to see them live happily ever after with their new, baby daughter?  I don’t think we would.  Lucas and Peyton kept us entertained because it was drama, the timing was always off, it was a struggle.  If we saw them in their happily ever after stage I think we might get bored.

Now that their time together has lapsed and we see that they do indeed get their much deserved happily ever after, I think it’s best to leave their story as a distant memory.

We have to remember that after seven seasons there are other story lines other than Leyton that have developed.  There is Nathan, Hayley and Jamie and their struggle to find a happy medium between singing and basketball.  In season seven, Hayley’s sister, Quinn, will become a major character on the show.  Could this spark some much needed drama?

There’s Brooke and her soul searching; does she fill her heart with a child’s love or a man’s love?  Now that her and Julian are finally an item we have the potential of another great romance in bloom.  And now that she’s back in business with her mother, will their relationship continue to flourish or will it be short lived?

Mouth and Millie have worked through their differences and seem to be on the right track towards their happy ending.  I wouldn’t bee surprised if we see more of this couple in season seven.

Lastly, what about Dan?  We need to discover his story, his ending.  I can’t help feeling sorry for ‘ol Danny and hope that he does receive forgiveness from his family and is able to be a part of Jamie’s life. 

Don’t be too heartbroken Tree Hill fans, there is still much potential to be made of the lives, events, and drama that we will see in season seven of One Tree Hill.
