One Tree Hill regular Bethany Joy Galeotti has spoken out about the end of the glossy teen drama, which came to an end in the US last night.
Galeotti played Haley since the very first episode of the series, and recalled on her personal blog about how she first auditioned alongside Chad Michael Murray.
She wrote: “During my test I was in a room full of executives while reading the scene with Chad Michael Murray and there were about 4 other girls going for the part, waiting in the hallway.
“There was a moment about halfway through the reading when I was sitting next to Chad and I playfully knocked the side of his leg with mine. I felt the energy of the whole room shift and I knew at that moment I had gotten the part.”
Of the cast and crew, she added: “As the years went on we fought and made up, we learned from each other, we got in trouble, we grew as actors, we grew as people, and we were given a ridiculous amount of grace by our crew and producers. When I think of some of the things we put them through, I’m so grateful for the classy way they handled guiding us through.”
The series will conclude in the UK next year.
