One Tree Hill showrunner Mark Schwahn gave a preview of the long running sudser's eigth season to Zap2it. Apparently The CW has yet to pick the show up for a full order of 22 episodes, and Schwahn and his team are working with the 13 episodes that were ordered.

When asked if this was the last season, Schwahn had this to say:

Right now, my instinct says yes, but anything can happen. We still love making this show, and if the network wants us back, we'll keep going."

While I was a HUGE One Tree Hill fan for its first couple of seasons. I started watching sporadically after good guy Keith (Craig Sheffer, brother of Y&R co-head scribe Hogan Sheffer) was killed by that awful Dan (Paul Johansson, who played C.C. Capwell's bastard son Greg on Santa Barbara!). Then the show TOTALLY jumped the shark when they had that dog eat the heart Dan was waiting on at the hospital for a transplant!  However, with the show possibly drawing to a close, I think I will start watching again when the new season premieres on Sept 14. I need time to say a proper fairwell to one of my favorite primetime teen soap couples of all time— Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley (Guiding Light alum Bethany Joy Galeotti). So what do you guys think?

Is it time for One Tree Hill to go to that Great Teen Soap Museum in the Sky?
