One Tree Hill

For its nine time of year run , the beloved The WB and The CW seriesOne Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Hillfollowed the complex date habits and personal relationships of a tight knit group of acquaintance in Tree Hill , North Carolina . More than most other teen drama , the serial really milk the construct of love triangles , pair off almost all of its main character up in almost every possible iteration .

But somehow , there are still some relationship that never crossed the line from friendly to more , from platonic to romantic . And even after all these twelvemonth , it ’s not toilsome to enquire what the serial would have looked like had any of the following romantic relationships been allowed to expand - for undecomposed , or for worse .

Skills and Peyton

Peyton may have been caught up in her middling percentage of romantic dramatic event with one of the Rivercourt ’s resident basketball game superstar , but perchance she should have been looking at one of Tree Hill ’s other top ballers .

Skills is always in Peyton ’s niche , rootle for her to succeed any time she is struggling . He ’s also one of the only people to be on her side during the hard fifth season , when both of them are at crossroads in their lives . Their pairing certainly would have made more sense than acquisition ' yoke with Nathan ’s mother , Deb .

Peyton and Anna

Peyton cursorily befriended new girl in town Anna Taggaro when she arrive in Tree Hill during the series ' second time of year . And as it turned out , the initially closeted bisexual teen Anna soon developed reasonably strong tactual sensation for the broody blond .

Though the two share a osculation , the potential of their relationship was speedily squashed by the restitution of Jake Jagielski to township , and by Peyton ’s nervous reaction . The serial never research the   outcome of their brief moment together , and that ’s a literal shame .

Chris and Haley

Though it would be hard to regain any lover of the series who disagree with the notion that Nathan and Haley were meant to be together always , there was a actual chance that the young lover ' spousal relationship could have hail to an early end thanks to Haley ’s connection with musician Chris Keller .

Chris played a vital role in Haley ’s musical maturation , and the duo shared a cloak-and-dagger buss before go on the road together . While Chris would become more of a caricature in later seasons , these two once shared quite the spark .

Brooke and Mouth

Brooke may have dated around Tree Hill more than most of the other main characters in the series , but possibly one of the best romanticist options for her is one that she stubbornly never recognise .

From the beginning of the series , the nerdy Marvin " Mouth " McFadden was blindly jam on the pop mean young lady . While the two would become effective friends subsequently on , it feel like a escape chance that the series never explored the conversant popular girl dates nerdy male child trope .

Jake and Haley

Arguably two of thekindest people in all of Tree Hill , Haley and Jake are implausibly talented musicians , and both vernal parents , too . There was plenty of primer coat for these two to connect on . But deplorably , it never happened .

Skills and Haley

Haley grew up close to the boy of the Rivercourt crew , and Lucas was her best friend for most of the series ' running . But one of the other Rivercourt boys also became one of her dearest friends as the serial publication went on , with Skills finally even becoming her untried son Jamie ’s favorite adult booster .

In fussy , the fourth time of year sequence " pic of You " finds Haley and Skills spending a bunch of metre together , and it shows the existent untapped interpersonal chemistry between the characters that the series never explored .

Chris and Bevin

Opposites and care both attractin the public ofOne Tree Hill , so it ’s kind of incredible to realize that two of the series ' most clueless characters never even interacted when they would have been perfect for one another .

Chris Keller and Bevin Mirskey are Tree Hill ’s resident airheads , lovable and difficulty - making in adequate measure . It ’s a real shame that the serial never allow these two to find their inevitable spark together . But then again , for society ’s saki , maybe it was for the best .

Karen and Larry

InOne Tree Hill ’s first time of year , the see life of the parents receives more care than it does in any later season . For a very abbreviated time , it seems like Karen Roe , Lucas ’s female parent , and Larry Sawyer , Peyton ’s male parent , are search the starting signal of something .

And then it ’s dropped , due in part to the absence of Larry ’s original player . But even when the second ( and higher-ranking ) Larry get in time of year three , Karen has moved on , and this potential romance is never given the chance it deserved .

Peyton and Haley

Arguably the only organic and genuine friendly relationship between two female graphic symbol in the series , Peyton and Haley ’s human relationship is something thatOne Tree Hillcould easily have develop into more . Through their genial hearts and deal dearest of music , Peyton and Haley have more in common than any other female theatrical role do .

It ’s also easy to look at their latent hostility in season three and five through the lens of green-eyed girl , with Peyton being hurt that Haley leave alone for tour in season two , and Haley being hurt about Peyton ’s feelings for Lucas in season five . At least that ’s what buff fiction is for .

Lucas and Haley

good friends to lovers isan all too common tropein the world of video , so it would n’t have postulate much genial gymnastic exercise to consider that Lucas and Haley could fall for one another . The serial publication twit it on multiple occasions , before ultimately deciding to leave these two in the sidekick - sister geographical zone .

Maybe it was for the skilful , as it would have provide yet another awkward Scott sibling lovemaking triangle for the serial publication to deal with . But it ’s hard not to wonder how these two literary loners would have fared together in the romance department .
