We’ve decided to make this category “Favourite Tree Hill Parent Other Than Dan,” because Dan is so much more than just a Tree Hill parent. He’s a Tree Hill god. That being said, our favorite Tree Hill parent isn’t very far removed from Dan “The Dantichrist” Scott.
Julie: Deb
Deb and all the drama that surrounds her is hilarious. Maybe I shouldn’t laugh at her pain — I’m sure I’d go crazy too being married to The Dantichrist. It was just so entertaining!
Meaghan: Deb
Remember how normal Deb seemed at first? Yeah … well, being married to The Dantichrist would make anyone a little bit crazy. Or, you know, a lot crazy. She’s a fire loving, pill popping cougar who’s packin’ heat. If she’s not unconscious on the front lawn or escaping from a completely voluntary rehab clinic, she’s probably having internet sex with Skills or trying to kill her (ex-)husband. What’s not to love?
Morgan: Deb
I miss Deb. I love that she started out so normal. In season one, she was so normal. Then, in season two it was like a slow journey to the crazy train and I honestly don’t think she’s ever disembarked from that train. Her addiction was serious, it was played out seriously. Yes, there were laughs. There are always laughs with Deb. Now that she’s clean and healthy, she’s also surprisingly great for advice. I also think she’s a good parallel for Karen, considering they were in the same situation. Karen and Deb both shaped up, they raised their sons. But Deb then reverted back to behavior she might have been prone to had she not gotten pregnant and married so young. Deb never got the chance to be young, so she took it once her son emancipated herself and she got away from Dan. It just didn’t go well for her.
