The 14 Most Memorable Moments from ‘One Tree Hill’

One Tree Hill went off the air in 2012, but for avid fans some moments will never be forgotten. The show was similar to a lot of the other dramatic teen stories out there, except with that hometown vibe that really helped to drive home the relatability – of course, with a few twists and turns that most of us wouldn’t relate to. Here are some of the most memorable moments and quotes from the CW show.

1. When Coach Whitey Durham Was Being Wise

Coach Whitey Durham was quite the wise sage full of good advice, especially when he was reminding us that we always have the option of using fear to our advantage. “There’s no shame in being afraid. Hell, we’re all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you’re afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.”

2. When Peyton and Lucas Got Engaged

The engagement between Peyton and Lucas was a long time coming so it was a big deal when it finally occurred. Eventually, they stopped resisting each other and decided it was worth a go.

3. When Derek Stalked Peyton
