The show ended when they left. Anything else was kind of a spinoff.

I basically just stuck to the end cause I wanted to see Brooke get a happy ending, and I couldn't care about the Naley and their annoying kid, or the newer characters they brought in

I didn't realize she was the highest paid actress on the show. I feel like I remember reading years ago that they didn't want him back and she ended up being collateral damage but whatever the reason that's a horrible way to find out.

Just from what I’ve read on what they’ve said on their podcast, there may be some truth to that because CMM seemed like he protected her/hated the showrunner. They probably wanted Chad out and she wouldn’t want to stay without him and vice versa.

I’m completely unfamiliar with oth besides knowing the showrunner was TERRIBLE and the main 3 girls were besties. I’m surprised that Hilarie and Chad‘s friendship was able to survive what happened with him and Sophia.

I work with someone who has silver hair and it’s such a nice looking colour. I thought that she purposefully dyed it that colour, but it’s natural.

I think he wasn't asked back for season 7 because he was often late to set and therefore losing production a lot of money, on top being the highest paid actor...

Hilarie and Chad were the two reasons I started watching OTH when it premiered. I stop watching after they left because I thought "what was the point of watching now!" Eventually, I acquiesced and watched the rest of the series. I did enjoy some of the new characters and story arcs. I did miss Lucas & Peyton and wondered how the show would have ended with them still as the leads.

I was happy to see Hilarie on White Collar, Council of Dads (still bothered that was cancelled) and her Hallmark movies. Never let rejection destroy your sense of worth/being. Rejection can be the best protection from harmful situations and people. I can't bring myself to watch OTH knowing how the cast were treated.

Wow, I needed to hear this a year ago. I still need it now because I'm still recovering from the rejection.
