Even in the most romantic city on Earth, Bethany Joy Lenz‘s mind is still back in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina.
The Savoring Paris star explained how her new Hallmark Movie took her “outside of my comfort zone” and back to her breakout role on the aughts teen drama One Tree Hill.
“When I got to read the script, I was really intrigued by playing a character who kind of reminded me of who Haley was from One Tree Hill, like all those years ago,” Lenz told TV Insider.
She starred as high school tutor Haley James on One Tree Hill for the entirety of the teen soap’s nine-season run on The WB and CW from 2003 to 2012.
Lenz explained that Haley “evolved into a character who was much more confident and bold over the years.”

Before starring on One Tree Hill for nine seasons, star James Lafferty says he was close to walking away from acting.
In an interview with People published Friday, the actor reflected on spending his childhood in the “acting game” that eventually led to the Oth opportunity. “I started when I was really young and I was auditioning by the time I was 10 and working my way up through smaller roles to get the opportunity to do something like this,” Lafferty said.
While visiting the Warner Bros. offices, Lafferty recalled seeing photos of the cast of Dawson’s Creek thinking, “Oh man, it’d be so cool to be up there someday.”
“When I got the audition for One Tree Hill — when I got the script it was originally called Ravens — and the role was a basketball player and he had an edge to him,” he recalls. “And it was just an...

In a forthcoming memoir, Bethany Joy Lenz will detail “her decade in a cult and her quest to break free,” which overlapped with her time on One Tree Hill, according to a book description from publisher Simon & Schuster. In that memoir, Dinner for Vampires — due to be released on October 22 — Lenz recalls falling in with a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives, a group that “soon morphed into something more sinister — a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse, and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family,” Simon & Schuster says. “Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge,” the publisher adds.

Los Angeles, Feb 16 (Ians) Actress Barbara Alyn Woods says that a ‘One Tree Hill’, which had a decade-long run with more than 180 episodes, reunion may not be completely out of the cards.
Talking to etonline.com, the actress, who played the titular character of Deb Scott, opened up about how her ‘One Tree Hill’ “family” has maintained staying in touch for so long.
“We all kept in touch — unlike other shows where they say ‘We’re family, we’re going to keep in touch’, we actually have,” Woods said.
‘One Tree Hill’ aired from 2003 to 2012. The cast included names such as Sophia Bush, Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz.
Woods said it’s the closeness of the cast to this day, 12 years from the series finale, as well the resurgence of the drama, that could be to thank if and when the cast is brought...

For the first time, the Hallmark Channel presented at the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday morning with three panels: one featuring their Hallmark Mystery (the channel formerly known as Hallmark Movies & Mysteries) talent, one highlighting their “Loveuary” film, “Sense and Sensibility;” and the final with the cast of “The Way Home.”
The network has had a presence at the press tour with cocktail parties or receptions for more than a decade, but now was the time to take that a step further, says Lisa Hamilton Daly, Hallmark Media’s EVP of programming.
“I think we felt the range of programming that we had to offer this year was so unique and so varied. I am very respectful of Hallmark’s history, the brand and what they did, but I think they had a very clear function for the movies. A lot were like, everybody has that same...

John Putch’s latest feel-good Christmas miracle film, A Biltmore Christmas, revolves around Lucy (Bethany Joy Lenz), a scriptwriter who lands the job of a lifetime and joins as a screenwriter for a major production company. Lucy’s first gig was to write the script for the remake of a highly successful classic called “His Merry Wife.” However, Lucy changed the ending, giving the story a modern touch. Lucy claimed that with her script, they could bring the film into the 21st century, something that the modern audience would relate to. The audience needed something modern and something real, claimed Lucy, but her boss, Michael Balaban (Tommy Cresswell), wasn’t too thrilled to see the changes.
Spoilers Ahead
How Did Lucy Travel Back In Time?
Lucy’s boss, Michael Balaban, didn’t share Lucy’s enthusiasm and told her to visit Biltmore Castle in person, the location where the original film was shot.

“I was a smart person,” she said. “I was a good actor. You can’t be a good actor without being smart. You can’t dissect a script without being able to assess things. But I had a big blind spot in my life — and everybody does — and mine was something that I was going to have to work out on my own.

Even for the most ardent fans, there are certain movies within the Hallmark canon that touch you so indelibly they become a part of your annual Christmas tradition.
A Biltmore Christmas is about to become a tradition for many by emulating the unique blend of glamour, visually striking style, and compelling storytelling from the Golden Age of Hollywood, starring icons like Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Lauren Bacall.
Kristoffer Polaha was born for that era with his versatility as an actor who can exude charm and elegance while also representing the everyman persona. He has the emotional range for dramatic roles and the right comedic touch to bring laughter to the audience.
In the most anticipated movie of the holiday season, Kris uses that talent to bring 1940s actor Jack Huston to life opposite Bethany-Joy Lenz, who is playing his anthesis as a present-day woman hoping to modernize a Christmas classic.

Banking on the renewed interest in “Suits,” which has become a streaming hit on Netflix 12 years after it first debuted on the USA Network, Peacock has exclusively added the legal series’ short-lived spinoff, “Pearson,” to its ranks.
Gina Torres starred as title character Jessica Pearson in the Chicago-set offshoot, which was canceled after one season. The story picked up after Pearson had been disbarred in New York State and accepted a job as a fixer for Chicago Mayor Bobby Novak (Morgan Spector).
The series, which was more about politics than legal battles, was based on a suggestion by Torres after the 2016 election. She also came on board as a producer.
“I started talking to [executive producers] Aaron Korsh and Daniel Arkin, and we started throwing ideas back and forth, until it became what it is now,” Torres told Collider in 2019.

Peacock is hoping to drive some eyeballs to Pearson, the short-lived Suits spin-off, after the latter became a surprising hit on Netflix this summer.
The NBCUniversal streamer has added the show, which starred Gina Torres, to its service today. It is hoping that new Suits fans may discover the spinoff as well, which is not available on Netflix.
Pearson ran for one season on the cable network in 2019 but was canceled a month and a half after its season ended.
Toplined by mothership series alumna Torres, Pearson centered on her character, powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson, as she enters the dirty world of Chicago politics. It also stars Bethany Joy Lenz, Morgan Spector, Chantel Riley, Simon Kassianides, Eli Goree and Isabel Arraiza.
Pearson originated on Suits, whose Season 7 finale served as a backdoor pilot for the spinoff.
The offshoot, which hailed from UCP, was executive produced by Suits creator and EP...

Hilarie Burton recently recalled an uncomfortable situation on set with “One Tree Hill” creator Mark Schwahn.
On the latest episode of the actress’ re-watch podcast “Drama Queens” with co-hosts and former co-stars Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz, she recounted a scene that Schwahn wrote himself into as a result of Burton not being on speaking terms with him.
“I wasn’t speaking to him in real life, and so he wrote himself into the episode of me hugging him,” Burton looked back on season five, episode 13, titled “Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace”.

“That is so psychotic,” Bush reacted. “Can you guys imagine Shonda Rhimes or Aaron Sorkin casting themselves on their own show?”
“It was so creepy,” Burton, 41, added of Schwahn’s behaviour – whom she referred to as “Voldemort” on the podcast.

Hilarie Burton and her “One Tree Hill” co-stars Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz host the “Drama Queens” podcast in which the trio rewatch episodes of their hit series and chat about what was really going on in front of and behind the camera — and the stories aren’t always fun. In the latest episode, “For Better and For Worse,” Burton revealed that her boss at the show was so desperate to interact with her when they weren’t on speaking terms that he wrote himself into a scene.
She said, “I wasn’t speaking to him in real life, and so he wrote himself into the episode of me hugging him.”
Bush immediately replied, “That is so psychotic. Can you guys imagine Shonda Rhimes or Aaron Sorkin casting themselves on their own show?”

Bethany Joy Lenz is penning a memoir that will delve into the ten years she spent in a cult and how cast and crew of her show One Tree Hill helped rescue her. The actress, who sprang to fame on Guiding Light, opened up about some of the details in a new interview with Variety, saying that it was a “Bible-based cult” that operated on isolating its members from their friends and family.

But I was very stubborn,” Lenz said. “I was really committed to what I believed were the best choices I could make.” She continued, “The nature of...
