Maria Menounos — OTH’s Jules — joins the Drama Queens. Before she became a television host and then got the part on One Tree Hill, Maria grew up working hard and working late; cleaning nightclubs with her family. Acting was a dream! Getting this part took “break a leg” to a whole different level … find out why Maria will keep you on your toes! Hilarie, Sophia and Joy discuss how Maria was a role model to them all, and earned the respect of everyone on set. Sophia also reveals how Maria inspired her to never settle. This episode is also the first appearance of Tyler Hilton — Chris Keller!! — and the Drama Queens need to discuss everything! Plus, a question we never thought we’d ask… are we actually rooting for Dan and Deb? Or are they a lost cause? Let’s debate.

As Season 2 begins, the aftermath of Nathan and Haley’s wedding is front and center. Are they the ultimate example that love does triumph over all? We’re digging into why this couple, despite their young age, personifies that. Aboard Brooke’s boat (also what!?) the girls ponder to bikini or not to bikini? The Drama Queens discuss the behind the scenes of boat day, and ultimately why it’s a proud moment for them. Are we destined to repeat the mistakes our parents made? Sophia, Hilarie, and Joy analyze how the overarching messaging of One Tree Hill is how a younger generation can be different than the one before. Finally, is tossing Lucas’ letter in a fire before reading it a good idea? Let’s debate.

We are headed to Tric for the first time (well, it’s technically still just an empty warehouse) for the Naley wedding shower. The Drama Queens wonder how they’d feel if their own kids ever wanted to get married in high school. Would the Queens be Debs or Lydias!? Nathan’s turn to “Meet the parents” (Jimmy and Lydia James), portrayed by Huey Lewis and Bess Armstrong. “Do You Believe In Love?” is more than just a Huey Lewis hit. It’s the core of what One Tree Hill is all about! And Jimmy’s Father-of-the-bride speech makes everyone weepy. Joy talks about staying close with her TV mom Bess, we find out the Queens’ favorite filming location, and… was real life dating in Wilmington even more complicated than tv dating in Tree Hill?!

This episode was a doozy!! With the appearance of strippers at Nathan’s Bachelor Party and Haley’s Bridal Shower, Sophia and Hilarie ponder how the Tree Hill teens were even able to hire adult performers! And they reveal a never before told story of how the line was … blurry … for one performer. Bevin Prince (aka Bevin) fills in for Joy as guest cohost this week, and reveals that Hilarie was responsible for her character being named Bevin! After her time on OTH, Bevin went back to waiting tables and customers constantly asked her if she changed her name to Bevin because of her character, Bevin! Plus, Bevin shares what Sophia did that completely changed the trajectory of her journey on One Tree Hill.

Dan tells Karen … that Deb slept with Keith!? Oh dear! Joy has a major "ah-ha" moment about Felix and Dan and the ladies discuss! The Drama Queens wonder why Brooke and Mouth never got together. Was it unrequited love? Or were they really just “best friends forever?” Can hetero men and women be ... JUST FRIENDS?! And let’s take a listener poll… When you see a beautiful platter filled with pastries, wouldn't you think eating one is the logical next step? Joy shares a story of a Karen’s Cafe croissant that turned out to be months old, which she didn’t know until it was already in her mouth. What happened next? Well, she'll tell you!

Special Guest Kieren Hutchison — aka Professor Andy Hargrove — joins the Drama Queens to dig into the classroom turned date night dynamic between Andy and Karen. Kieren gets nostalgic, sharing his fond memories of arriving in Wilmington. And he digs out the crystal ball to tell Sophia and Hilarie where he sees Karen and Andy now. Did they predict the same future for the couple? As we all rewatch One Tree Hill together, have you ever wondered what is the perfect age to see it for the first time?! Let’s discuss!

We are back at it, answering listener questions… Who would our ladies want to perform at Tric in 2022?? Who was the biggest prankster on set? What is their go-to karaoke song?

The Drama Queens are blessed by sweet Tyler Hilton, who played the opposite-of-sweet Chris Keller. Did you know that Hilarie and Sophia are the reason he met his wife!? Tyler reveals that he assigned himself a VHS crash course of One Tree Hill before joining the cast. He became such a fan that he was actually nervous around the actors and thought they might not want to be friends with him. And a significant script choice … Chris Keller always refers to Chris Keller as "Chris Keller." Discover the origin of why he refers to himself in the 3rd person. We give this Hilton a 5-Star rating.

Brooke’s first job is at the one and only Carl’s Crab Shack. Whether it was exciting or cringe-worthy, everyone has a memorable first job story and the Drama Queens are sharing theirs. We all know the classic stereotypes behind cheerleading, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Hilarie reveals her personal take, and you will discover the ways she’s still cheering for the right team today. She might just change your mind about cheerleading… And finally, Sophia is on the hunt for the iconic red couch from Karen’s Café…Who has it?!

The Drama Queens are bringing back the ultimate blast from the past. You guessed it…AIM! We’re digging deep into the endless rules of AOL Instant Messenger. Should Haley have been AIMing it up with Chris Keller? Plus, what has Hilarie been hiding in a shoe box for all these years? Then, we all know that an OTH without Haley would have been…well…Joyless. Find out why Joy thought she was getting written off the show at this point in the series. As always, style is in full swing this episode from powder blue jeans and pointy toed boots, to skinny brows and flat-ironed flips. Trendy or tragic??

Having the Time of Our Lives on a First Date, Building a Time Capsule, and Brooke's Time to Shine.

We are back answering your burning questions! Why weren't there pets on set?? The Queens let you in in on a Hollywood secret... How do you envision Peyton, Brooke, and Haley's kids in 2022? We know you're wondering how those iconic OTH rain scenes work and why hot tubs are involved... These questions and so much more!

Will Dan let Keith have his happily ever after? And are we in support?! As the Queens realize that the start of Nathan and Haley's relationship mirrors Jules and Keith's, we wonder why we root for certain characters and perhaps not others? As Hilarie, Sophia, and Joy discuss Keith, they begin to reminisce about Craig Sheffer. The ladies confirm that just like Barry Corbin and Paul Johansson, he was an amazing mentor, protector, and costar. And Craig is here to join the Drama Queens. The girls have butterflies, and QUESTIONS! For one, how did onscreen enemies Dan and Keith become BFFs IRL? Plus, the name of the game is always (early 2000s) fashion, and Haley's tour style is a-changing! So we must discuss the looks! And the mess Chris Keller keeps trying to make of her life! Last but not least, Peyton and Jake have what may be the steamiest show on OTH to date. And Hilarie, we need to know everything.

The conversation with Craig Sheffer continues and is full of surprises! Hilarie reveals who else read for the role of Uncle Keith and we are all shocked. Joy tells Craig about the epic crush she had on him while filming and he tells us about the adorable way she revealed this to him years ago (which Joy forgot!!!). The Drama Queens bond with Craig about their time on One Tree Hill and we learn so much about him including how he was discovered by Andy Warhol! We also explore his challenges working on OTH, and his complete utter shock when he learned Keith (*spoiler alert*) was going to die.

Let's get to unpacking this doozey of an episode. Paul Johansson went behind the camera to direct this one. We all had posters on our walls... didn't we??!! Hilarie, Sophia, and Joy take this opportunity to reveal their first crush wall hangings. Then, things get real as the Queens go deep about the fragility of love...they know so much now, that they didn't know then.

The Drama Queens are calling it like it is... this is their least favorite episode thus far. They dig into the script and some of the behind the scenes details. No sugarcoating it! That being said, this episode does have a major bright spot! Anna's storyline. The ladies are in awe of Daniella Alonso's powerful performance, and they reflect why it is so meaningful to each of them. And one more sweet spot? Brooke and Lucas!
