One Tree Hill

CW fans know crossing the border into Tree Hillmeans witnessing bad acting, overwrought dialogue, and ludicrous plot twists. Tonight's episode is no different, with the return of villainess Rachel (Danneel Harris), now the stepmother of former classmate Nathan (James Lafferty). Says Rachel, ''I used to want you to be my daddy… and now I'm your mommy.'' Um, ick! There's a trashy fun factor but also a sad realization: The characters may have grown up but they still, sadly, act (and speak) like teenagers. — Tim Stack
