When One Tree Hill DVD boxset ended last year, several characters got happy endings. Brooke (Sophia Bush) got her proposal, and Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and Nathan (James Lafferty) found out they were expecting Baby No. 2. (Left-for-dead couple Clay (Robert Buckley) and Quinn (Shantel VanSanten)? Not so much.)

Series creator Mark Schwahn says when the show returns on Tuesday (8/7c on The CW), the good times won't immediately be ripped apart. In many ways, Season 8 will be a return to the heart of the One Tree Hill Season 8 dvd boxset, focusing on the faces we've been watching since the beginning. Here are some of the changes — the return of Lucas? -- viewers can expect to see when the show returns.
