context_page_description: One Tree Hill is an American television series created by Mark Schwahn for The WB in 2003. After its third season, The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, which then became the broadcaster for the show in the United States. Schwahn served as executive producer while also writing and directing for the show, including the premieres and finales of all seasons.
  The show began with nine main characters in its first season as the roles of Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis, Haley James, Dan Scott, Karen Roe, Keith Scott, and Whitey Durham. After that, characters from that first season left the show, with new main characters having been both written in and out of the series. Originally, it followed two half-brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott who started out as enemies but later formed a close bond as brothers. It also followed the brothers' various relationships with other female leads during their high-school years and in their early twenties. The series ultimately spanned nearly fifteen years across nine seasons, with various time jumps taken into account.
context_section_description: In the second season, it is made clear that Peyton has romantic feelings for him, and that she has been e-mailing him without response. Jake returns to Tree Hill when he receives a telephone call from Lucas informing him that Peyton is going through hard times. The two then take a road trip together to collect Jenny from Savannah, Georgia. He and Peyton share their first date upon their return, and later begin a sexual relationship. Nicki returns, having been awarded full custody of Jenny, due to Jake not being present at the hearing. He initially hides himself and Jenny from the police, but later turns himself in, with Whitey taking his daughter to Florida. Nicki, however, finds Jenny and leaves town with her, causing Jake to leave Tree Hill to find his daughter. In the third season, Peyton visits him in Savannah where he and Nicki are awaiting trial to determine who will receive custody. Peyton asks him to marry her, but the two part ways after she states that she loves Lucas in her sleep.
  The role of Jake Jagielski was written specifically for Bryan Greenberg, having previously worked with series creator Mark Schwahn on The Perfect Score. Plans for the character to return in the second season were helped by the audience responding well to the character. Schwahn expressed interest in having the character return. He has approached Greenberg about reprising his role, however noted that Greenberg's busy schedule is likely to prevent any further appearances.
