On the Season Five premiere starting four years after the Season Four finale:
“It’s one of the neater things we’ve ever gotten to do, and I know it’s reinvigorated the actors and the writing staff. Nobody wants to see the college years. I think you run out of interesting storylines.”
On whether or not there will be flashbacks on the past four years:
“Some are just present-day, but we have some really incredible flashback sections in other episodes that lead you through where everyone’s been. It gives the audience a little bit of a puzzle.”
On the most shocking part of tonight’s premiere:
“Where Nathan and Haley are. It’s very different, and you get to really witness the reality of a marriage and its complications rather than the puppy love of teenage years. It’s very powerful. They have a baby who’s now 4 years old, and it’s interesting to see what the emotional issues of that commitment can be.”
On what will happen with Brooke (Sophia’s character) this season:
“It’s also pretty incredible for me to take Brooke from being that cheer captain, happy-go-lucky girl who kept all her emotional issues underneath to this mogul in the fashion world. She [has] this life that everybody would assume is perfect, but she’s still dealing with a lot of the things she dealt with in high school.
“It’s interesting for me to build this character who still feels really lost. She’s got her life together, and everybody else is having issues. There’s one episode that’s only one evening with everybody out at a bar. Brooke sits at the bar all night and everybody keeps coming up to her and asking advice. They’re all going to her for help, but she needs help as well. No matter how together you think someone may be, it doesn’t mean they don’t have their own set of problems.”
On whether Brooke finds love this season:
“Eventually, but it’s pretty wild, I have not had to kiss anybody in 12 episodes.”
Don’t miss tonight’s premiere, tonight at 8 p.m. on CW.
