An eighth and final season for 'One Tree Hill'
"It's unconfirmed, but insider rumblings have begun that the Wilmington-filmed ‘One Tree Hill' may return for an eighth -- and yes, final -- season," says the Star-News.
"E! Online and Entertainment Weekly are reporting that CW execs are 'strongly considering' giving ‘OTH' a 12-episode run. Though only a half season, it would provide the show with ample time to wrap up its storylines.
"An official announcement is expected to come at the CW's annual fall TV programming lineup on Thursday, May 20. ..."
For those that don't watch the show, last night's episode (which I can only guess is the season finale), was perhaps the most shocking season-ending episode of any show I've ever watched. And yes, I'm not ashamed to admit I watch it. Good writing; good cast; good show.
Screen Gems opens Atlanta studio for more 'urban' settings
"The North Carolina studio where such stars as Michelle Williams and Chad Michael Murray got their start is expanding to Atlanta, partially because movie companies have asked for cityscapes that Wilmington can't provide.
"EUE/Screen Gems has begun the process to lease the former Lakewood Fairgrounds in Atlanta for a new studio lot called the Georgia Film and Television Center," says the AP. ...
"Vassar said that movie and television producers had asked EUE/Screen Gems to consider building in Atlanta for several reasons, including that they need cityscapes for some productions. Wilmington works well for country and suburban settings, but it does not have a background that substitutes for large urban settings.
"NBC, Vassar said, had 17 pilots this year that were all based in big cities. None came to Wilmington because it could not stand in for such places as New York or Chicago. ..."

One of the girls on the show, the one who looks like a brunette Kristen Bell, is in a new fall show for NBC. I'm pretty sure. I'm assuming she will work out the scheduling of both.
My guess is you are referring to Sophia Bush.
I too am a fan of One Tree Hill. I'm glad it looks to be getting another season. Too bad it'll probably be the last. :-(
That's her. I saw her on "Ferguson."
The show is for ABC, and it's called "Southern Discomfort." But I'm reading now that "OTH" has dibs.
