All this talk of OTH is making me want to re-watch the whole series again, I wonder if it's on Netflix?
I do like Brooke and Julian, they did make for interesting viewing in the later years,
I love Brooke, she is my favourite character, her character gets stronger and stronger as the years go on.
I loved her fostering children storyline, I wish she was able keep Sam and Angie permanently, she was in many ways the 00s answer to and hybrid of Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor of 90210 fame, she had the sweetness of early seasons Kelly and the strength of Brenda and the sexiness of both girls.
Peyton on the other hand has always annoyed me, the eternal victim that needs to be saved all the time, I could never understand why Lucas was in love with her, his relationship with Brooke made perfect sense, opposites attract almost, Lucas never had to save Brooke, if anything Brooke saved Lucas and brought Lucas into her world whilst she entered his world, I guess that's why like Julian because he's similar to Lucas in many ways.
I love Dan Scott, he's such a multi layered character, the perfect human villian, who wants to be redeemed and forgiven by his family.
Yep I shall definitely be re-watching OTH this afternoon!
