Even in the most romantic city on Earth, Bethany Joy Lenz‘s mind is still back in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina.
The Savoring Paris star explained how her new Hallmark Movie took her “outside of my comfort zone” and back to her breakout role on the aughts teen drama One Tree Hill.
“When I got to read the script, I was really intrigued by playing a character who kind of reminded me of who Haley was from One Tree Hill, like all those years ago,” Lenz told TV Insider.
She starred as high school tutor Haley James on One Tree Hill for the entirety of the teen soap’s nine-season run on The WB and CW from 2003 to 2012.
Lenz explained that Haley “evolved into a character who was much more confident and bold over the years.”
“I just thought I haven’t done that since I was so young, in my early 20s,” she added. “I usually get called to play more tough girl kind of roles, so I was excited by the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone of feeling like a natural leader and allow myself to sort of emotionally sit on the sidelines.”
In Savoring Paris, Lenz plays disillusioned Ella, who embarks on a soul-searching journey to Paris, where romance ensues with Serge (Stanley Weber) and Gaston (Ben Wiggins). She explained the character is “not used to taking up a lot of her own space. She is always making space for everyone else.”
Lenz’s latest role comes as she prepares to release her memoir Dinner for Vampires, which details her decade-long experience in a cult and her journey to escape. The book is available on October 22.
The actress also co-hosts the Drama Queens podcast with her One Tree Hill co-stars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton-Morgan, recapping the hit series more than a decade after the series finale.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer President Joe Biden returned to the campaign trail on Friday, as he sought to reassure supporters after a lackluster debate performance raised fresh questions about his age and ability to stay in the race. Speaking to supporters in Raleigh, N.C., Biden, 81, acknowledged the concerns, but pledged that he has what it takes to prevail. “I would not be running if I did not believe with all my heart and soul that I can do this job,” he said, as the crowd chanted “Yes you can.” “The stakes are too high.

Post Malone has announced a slew of North American dates for his upcoming ‘F-1 Trillion’ tour – see the full list of dates below.The rapper-singer took to social media last night to announce the new tour, which has been billed as “a collection of country songs”.

Even though it’s been nearly two months since Disney+’s X-Men ’97 ended, fans are still debating what occurred in the jam-packed first season. This new iteration of X-Men continues the iconic and beloved animated series X-Men: The Animated Series that aired from 1992 to 1997. More than just a nostalgia trip, the updated series brought back many of the former creatives from the original series in order to stay true to the 1990s sensibilities but push the envelope of what a modern-day X-Men series could look like. Following the fall of Genosha, X-Men ’97 deals with the complex relationships between mutants and humans alongside the ramifications of Professor Xavier abandoning his team of mutants and leaving his formidable nemesis Magneto in charge.
Luke Combs — having ridden his historic cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” all the way to No. 2 on the pop charts — is one of the hottest country artists in the game right now.And as such, the 34-year-old North Carolina native is in that cushy zone where he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants.His new album “Fathers & Sons” is what we call a “passion project.”It’s all about the love he has for his two sons: Tex Lawrence, who turns 2 next week, and Beau Lee, who was born just last August.The album — which continues the titular theme from 2022’s “Growin’ Up” and 2023’s “Gettin’ Old” — is also a shrewd marketing move, arriving just in time for Father’s Day weekend.

If you haven’t heard, Rory McIlroy surprised us all on Tuesday by calling off his divorce! The golf champ filed last month amid rumors he’d left his wife Erica Stoll. We’d heard whispers he was seeing someone else already. But the real point of no return to us seemed to be when he hired a private investigator to blindside his wife with divorce papers at their marital home in Florida — just hours after he won a major golf tourney three states away in North Carolina. Stone cold, right? Definitely evidence there was no chance of reconciliation… and yet… Here we are, and they called it off!
