I love how Bethany developed this character over the years. A lot of people ask why Haley reacted that way when the body wasn't Nathan, but if they know Haley, they would see that in any situation of intense stress, once the situation is resolved, whether good or bad, she breaks down, as if to finally let out all the emotion she's been feeling. Like when Lucas was in a car accident and she finally went to see him in season one, or when they found out that Jamie was going to be okay after she saved Nathan from getting hit by a car in season four, or when Nathan saved Jamie from drowning in season five, and right now. That's how you know someone is a truly great actor, when they connect with their character, and nobody does that better than Bethany.
I was gonna say that it’s probably the first time she ever saw a dead body and in some way she is crying because her husband the love of her life is still missing
This scene is so powerful, in the way it is written and the way Bethany acts it out... She exudes such a raw emotion, that shows how immensely talented she is. Hands down one of the best scenes I have ever seen, and for me, her best acting
that short scene at the end, up to this day, for me is still one of the best acting performances on tv. i would've given it a standing ovation. very much deserving of an emmy's
When I first watched this episode I cried so hard through the part until after the part when she saw the body. I completely thought that it was Nathan that she was seeing, and started crying even harder. Thankfully it wasn't. But this is one of my favorite shows, not just because of scenes like this. Its because of the amazing work that the director produces. He knows how to turn a realistic moment of life into something beautiful and makes you fully empathize with the characters.
Unlike many other actors from the longest-running TV-shows, Joy, James, Sophia, Paul and the others gave their best performances in s9. They never showed that they were exhausted by playing the same characters over the years. Also bearing in mind toxic environment on set which was created by M*rk...Bravo! Truly professional! P.S. I'm still in awe of Joy's performance. She deserved an Emmy.
Whoever wrote this voice over did a great job narrowing in one that one memory and bringing out the characters from that moment. And the acting here is great. I don't really remember all the seasons of OTH because I was kinda young and only saw it when my siblings watched it and they stopped watching later on when they went to college and such. But this is some good acting.
No matter how many times I watch this scene it always breaks me. I suddenly feel this ache in my heart and I want to cry . I feel terrified to even think about losing that one person. Haley and Nathan are the definition of hope , hope that maybe just maybe there is some one waiting out there. 4/12
I was completely emotionally unstable during the whole ‘ Nathan’s missing ‘ storyline. This scene-and the scene where Nathan and Haley finally reunite again in the hospital-almost got me.
I'm pretty sure I had a breakdown when I first saw this scene. I cried like it was my husband under that sheet. Of course I then cried tears of joy when she says thank god it's not you. Whew
How Haley James ❤️ was as a character. She powerful and she real. When she lost her mom, she did that so heartfelt. What a great show 💕 Oth fan forever
There aren't so much scene in Television over the years that breaks my heart so easy. But this whole thing destroys me everytime. It's the music, the voice over, the fear you share with her every second until you know it isn't him(what You didnt See in this Clip). It's hard but so real and thats why the scene is so good and perfect.
The first time seeing this scene I was line cryin and I was like no he can't be dead but when I relized it wasn't him ( spoiler alert) I was like YESS but this shows how good of an actor Bethany joy is ( Haley) and the emotions really hit me I wish they were together in real life but
I knew it wasn't Nathan, it couldn't be! But Bethany made an excellent job here, really intense moment! BUT i want NATHAN BACK so we'll finally have some NALEY!!!
I watched ever episode of one tree hill from the beginning to end and naley have been through so much in the episodes and there such great actors I love there saying always and forever this was one of the episodes I cried so much in but one tree hill is probably my favorite tv show from skills bringing humor and lucis with the writting I just love this tv show and I'm wondering if the book is real ( the unkindness of the ravens ) cause I would definitely read it
There was never a question. How would you feel if your life wasnt your own? Ive had no privacy.. Well then fine Ill just address everything if thats what worries you. So what; Ive made mistakes but they arent mistakes if they lead me to you. Im a human being. Im sorry.. my life was literally ripped from me and then I see the most precious thing my eyes have ever laid on and its like im disqualified because of some preconceived notion about me
Nathan, from the second I heard those words "we found a body" my heart sank, I couldn't move, I couldn't think and now that I've managed to at least move, all I can think about is one moment you and I shared years ago, over and over, that insignificant moment repeats in my head... I can't tell you why... It was your birthday, your first year claim for Maryland. Jamie must have been two. You said you didn't want to do anything but I insisted on at least having your favorite ice cream, do you remember this ? When I... When I brought back mint chocolate chip and you asked why I thought that was your favorite, I was so confused. Any time we had gotten an ice cream together, that's what you always chose but you told me a rocky road was your favorite, and you looked at me so tenderly Nathan and you said you always chose mint chocolate chip because you knew it was my favorite flavor. And that's when I realize for the first time that you hadn't been making any of your decisions for yourself. You were doing evrything for me all along, for your family. And it occured to me that we still have so much to learn about each other. And since then Nathan I've learned about the wonderfully, selfless, humble, strong man you are. Nathan I can't hear that you'll never come home again, that I never learn something new about you again, never experience your selflessness, your love, your warm touch again... Nathan, please... Have we ever have our last conversation ? Our last kiss ? I don't know what I do... Please...
some people may say that she was being dramatic over crying when it wasnt nathan but i feel that its bc her husband was missing, the possibility of her husband being that dead body scared her the way it couldve been, the relief that it wasnt but the grief that it couldve been hurt and that he was still somewhere possibly like that. ugh i love these actors
People say that, but Peyton reacted the same way in season 1 when she had to find out if the body they found was her Dad's. Honestly, rewatching it it felt more like tears of relief because the fear was so strong that Nathan was dead and when she found the body was not his she broke down because she was holding in so much emotions and she could finally let it out. If it was Nathan she likely would have passed out.
This would be the worst feeling ever but it wasn't him cause the end they all r toys there This is one couple love that grew deeper conversing they got married young.😊😊😊😊💙💙💙💙✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
This scene was so strong, I had goosebumps all over my body and I cried like a baby. Especially the line where she said: ''Nathan, I can't hear that you will never come again...'' and "Did we really have our last kiss, our last conversation?'' Those lines, really got me.
For those who haven't seen the ending, and don;t want to see a spoiler don't read. Nathen doesn't die. go to watchseries dot eu and search one tree hill and look for Season 9 Episode 8
