Let’s be honest. There are two super-awesome reasons to watch “One Tree Hill.” First, the nonstop crazy pants drama. Kidnapping nannies? Dogs eating transplant hearts? Ghost wives? Yes please! But second, and possibly more importantly, is the fact that the cast is both talented AND attractive. Jana Kramer, who plays troubled actress-turned-aspiring screenwriter Alex Dupre, has gotten to work with the three hottest guys on the show: Robert Buckley, who plays sports agent Clay, James Lafferty, who plays basketball star Nathan, and Austin Nichols, who plays movie mogul Julian.
In case you were wondering, Hollywood Crush is now officially jealous of her. Though it’s a seemingly impossible decision, we made her choose between the three men of the show. “I love Austin — he plays Julian. He is amazing,” Jana said. “I mean, I have an amazing boyfriend so I don’t look at these guys like that, but that would be my catch.”
And character-wise? “I would totally pick Julian. He’s more caring, someone you can actually have a relationship with. I think Clay’s kind of — he has some things he has to work out. I would totally go with Julian. He’s just an all-around good guy: hard worker, believes in you, good friend, good boyfriend. Pretty cute. Not too shabby on the looks.”
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves — the ladies of the show aren’t too shabby themselves. Jana said that she, Lisa Goldstein (who plays Millie), and Sophia Bush (who plays Brooke) spend a lot of time together off set. “I hang out with Sophia and Lisa a lot. We do girls’ nights; drink wine and watch movies.”
Even though it was a little intimidating to join the cast after seven seasons, Jana said everyone has been extremely kind. “I’m not just saying this because I’m on the show, but [this] is the nicest, most welcoming cast and crew I’ve ever been a part of. For the first time I feel like I’m part of a family. I was scared meeting those girls! It’s primarily [Sophia's] show, and she’s now one of my best friends on the show. It’s been great.”
Jana said she spends the rest of her free time in Wilmington, North Carolina, where the show is shot, seeing movies and working on her music. “I sing too, so I play my guitar a lot, and write new music.” Will we ever see her sing on the show? “I sing more for myself to keep me inspired and doing something different. If they wanted [Alex] to sing I would love it! But I really doubt it.”
There’s something to say for a show that’s managed to regularly gain viewers over seven years. Jana said she thinks people are drawn to the show because of its real-life drama. “People love drama. You can’t just keep doing the same storylines — you have to come up with something that’s darker, and I think getting a little more twisted still.” And of course, the acting and writing aren’t too bad either. “I think with adding new people it can be good and bad, but I think we’re trying to find a good groove for it. The writing’s exceptional. I think it’s some of the best writing on the CW, that’s for sure — and I think pretty good acting.”
Which “One Tree Hill” guy would you pick? Are you as jealous of Jana as we are? What do you think of the show? Have you been watching for all seven seasons?
