By now most everyone has watched Hilarie's video regarding the rumors of her leaving One Tree Hill. I must admit when I watched it I had tears in my eyes. I was definitely feeling a mixture of emotions when listening to her. I'm really glad that she spoke up and confronted the rumors that were going around. I thought it was really brave of her to confront her fans upfront, on her own about everything that's being said.

I'm sad that she will not be continuing on the One Tree Hill journey with everyone else but I plan on respecting her wishes and supporting the show anyway. The rest of the cast and especially the CREW are amazing so I think that they deserve the support. However, I do hope Hil knows that she will be severely missed. It makes me happy though knowing that it's not the "end" for her. I love the fact that she along with the rest of the SGP crew are doing their best to keep film alive in Wilmington. It is truly, truly inspiring to everyone.

I got the pleasure of meeting Hil in 2007 and it was a great experience for me. Her charism and her jubilant attitude overwhelmed me. She made me feel so welcome and comfortable and I really appreciated that. I've met the entire cast of OTH but Hilarie was by far the one who made a lasting impression on me. For that I will forever be a fan!!
