The WB launched One Tree Hill in 2003, and the show ran for nine years, ending in 2012. The original storyline of the program focused on the estranged brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty), who both wanted to become basketball stars and earn their father's love.

Departing from One Tree Hill

Bush and Lenz were recurring characters throughout the show's existence. Bush detailed her ordeal, saying, "I felt like I was lying in a coffin." Standing at her bedside, James Lafferty casually murmured, "Hey, uh, have a good summer." She remembered feeling uneasy when strangers gazed at her hair.

Despite her long stay, Burton claimed that neither the actors nor the crew of the program anticipated her comeback. It didn't feel like the end at first, which is why everyone else was sent home. As a result, she and Murray were able to film their parting sequence without interruption.
