One Tree Hill’s post Peyton-Lucas makeover continues: Sources confirm to me exclusively that relative newcomer Shantel VanSanten has been tapped to play the series regular role of Quinn, one of Haley’s free-spirited older sisters. The character comes to Tree Hill with a wounded heart and in search of someone new to shag something new.
VanSanten, who will be seen in the upcoming Final Destination reboot, joins fellow Tree Hill virgin Robert Buckley as the newest additions to the show’s cast. The Lipstick Jungle hottie is playing Nathan’s sports agent.
Thoughts?!

It will be interesting to see how the show does with the loss of some of their cast.
As a leading for Gossip Girl, OTH should be safe from any major slide.

Robert Buckley as Nathan? lol
ehh. she doesn’t really look anything like joy, at all. i’m still debating whether to continue watching after my favorite, peyton, left.
This picture doesn’t do her justice. You should check out her IMDB page for better pictures.
Adam, are you really that desperate? I mean, I see you with links to your website EVERYHWERE you go… It makes me annoyed, it doesn’t make me wanna visit your site. And I think a lot of other people feel the same.
I wish Eden Riegel would’ve gotten the part, she looks more like Haley than this girl does.
Wait…She’s supposed to play Haley’s OLDER sister? She looks so young!

Doesn’t matter Peyton, Lucas, Dan, Deb, Whitey, Skills, and Karen have left the show for good. The show is done those are my thoughts. Stick a fork in it!!!
dan and skills are very much still a part of the show
No, Dan is not. The actor (Paul) has opted to not return for One Tree Hill season 7. Deb (Barbara) has barely been in season six, and she wants to spend time with her family.
Whatever they do nothing is going to replace CH. Bring on all the pretty all they want. Nothing isn’t going to make those missing pieces right. There will always be a hole and all the pretty people in the world isn’t going to change that. Getting people that can somewhat act and are just eye candy isn’t replacing CHem.
this girl is totally cute!
i think dan could still come back. he wasn’t killed off.
Was Eden Reigel really up for the part?

I’m gonna start watching OTH because of Robert Buckley. I need me some Kirby-love!! Damn! I miss Lipstick!!
RealMe
you are 100% wrong about Dan
I know this for a fact
they look close enough to be sisters
Definitely interesting, I want to see how this new actress and Bethany Joy Galeotti interact. She seems to be really pretty, let’s just see how she acts.
The only reason I began watching Lipstick Jungle was because of Robert Buckley, now I’ve got another great reason to watch OTH!
Yeah, Riegel was up for the part. If she had gotten it, I would have been a regular watcher. Too bad.
well since karen and whitey havent been there since s4 no big lose there. the actor who plays skills is mostly likely going to jail. dont know about dan, dont really care about deb, she hasnt had nothing to do since s4. as for lucas and peyton oh well.
season 7 is going to be great.
I would have maybe considered watching if Riegel got the part cause I’m a fan of hers, but let’s be real, OTH should have probably been cancelled a few seasons ago. It just isn’t as good as it used to be.
Quinn, Taylor and Haley. I think we know who got the short end of the exotic name stick!!! Seriously, why more of Haley’s family? Like, who cares? They should make Victoria a series regular so we can see tons of bickering between her and Brooke, esp since she seems to disapprove of Julian. And why not bring back Sam’s friend so she could have a friend her own age on the show!!! Maybe Dan will finally die….
I think she is way too young to play Haley’s older sister. She is significantly younger than the actress playing Haley, so I don’t think that casting her to play Haley’s older sister is such a wise casting choice. Also, she kind of looks more like she would be related to Rachel, than Haley. I guess we’ll have to wait until the season premiere to see if this actress can pull off being Haley’s older sister.
im sooo excited for season 7! And I think this girl and Bethany look a lot a like! Im very excited to see her on the show.
Robert Buckley on any show is a GREAT thing!
let’s face it, it’s not one tree hill without lucas and peyton. the original point of the show was the two brothers growing up in different worlds in the same town. there aren’t even two brothers on the show anymore. they can cast as many new characters as they like, but this is not one tree hill. one tree hill ended when chad and hilarie left.
Key words “original premise”. I understand feeling like something will be missing but you neglect to acknowledge that the different worlds/same town deal ended after the first year as they were then part of the “same world.” The brothers part continued but as long as they got along the “orignal” premise was gone. The original premise of Beverly Hills 90210 was a family moving from Minnesota to Beverly Hills and experiencing culture shock. The shock wore off within season 2 by half way through the series 3/4 of the family was gone. For the last year and a half the main star was gone. Yes ratings dipped at the end but the show still was able to have a big fanbase regardles (of course their fanbase was always bigger than one tree hills is now). So I agree that it will be different but of all of the complaints, using the original premise as a justification when it ended years ago, is ridiculous. New characters CAN excite fans. It’s happened with many shows after losing lead stars!
I agree with the above man or woman but also MereBelle, To me the show won’t be the same but it can still go on. It didn’t with some shows but it has with others and I think that it will with One Tree Hill but only for another year or two.
