It’s finally here. For One Tree Hill fans, the much-anticipated Season 5 airs tonight with a special two-hour premiere (8 pm/ET, CW). Along with a significant jump ahead in time, we’ll see some rocky relationships, emotional turmoil and new faces, but many questions loom. Will there be a proposal? Will they all return home? And where did the strike make its cut? Sophia Bush talked with TVGuide.com about the upcoming twists and turns of the Tree Hill gang and why skipping the college years might just save this show.

TVGuide.com: I’m so excited for the premiere; we’re four years ahead now.
Sophia Bush: I really am, too. 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.

TVGuide.com: Will this keep the show going, unlike some other teen dramas that attempted the college years?
Bush: Well, what’s very advantageous to us is that it gives us a lot of leeway with creating new obstacles for all these characters. It’s only been four years. Nobody is completely set when they’re just getting out of college. You’re still so young and learning so much about yourself. Your twenties are such informative years, and in some sense these kids are so grown up but in other [ways], you really get to see the kids you left at graduation at the end of Season 4.

Maybe it would be better if most of us leap-frogged over our college years.

That would spare us some all-nighters and maybe preserve some brain cells. It would propel us into real life.

Now that’s being done by the “One Tree Hill” characters. “Nobody talks about the college years of a show,” says Mark Schwahn, the creator.

When the fourth season ended last June, his characters were graduating from high school. When the fifth begins Tuesday, it will have jumped ahead four-and-a-half years.
