Mark Anderson became known to audiences through The Golden Bachelorette. While he ended up getting eliminated on the show, Anderson still managed to make an impression on fans, who still hope love is around the corner for him. In fact, Anderson recently made the news when he was spotted hanging out at an event with a famous TV show cast.

Mark Anderson Was Out At A Fundraiser Just Ahead Of The Holidays

Anderson competed on The Golden Bacherlorette in September 2024, which starred Joan Vassos. This was notable as Mark was the father of Kelsey Anderson, who won The Bachelor‘s 28th season.

Anderson, an army veteran, didn’t win, ending up in seventh place. However, fans had hoped that Anderson would soon find love elsewhere.

A few of the cast members of One Tree Hill recently got together just in time for the holidays. Many of the show’s actors appeared together at a fundraising event. Notably, fans in attendance got to visit a place made famous on the series.

Actors From One Tree Hill Got Together In A Familiar Place Just In Time For The Holidays

The original One Tree Hill series lasted nine seasons, from 2003 to 2012. The coming-of-age drama, set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, initially revolved around two half-brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty, respectively.

Back in December 14 and 15, a few of the series’ actors appeared at the “Tricmukkah Holiday Fundraiser.” These included James Lafferty, Lee Norris, Barbara Alyn Woods, Stephen Colletti, Bevin Prince, and Grace Holcomb.

Well, this might not have been the news One Tree Hill fans were hoping to hear regarding Nathan and Haley's place in the possible revival series in the works at Netflix. Bethany Joy Lenz and James Lafferty finally spoke out, and let's just say their updates aren't too encouraging.

Ever since news broke that Netflix is developing a One Tree Hill sequel series from stars and executive producers Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan, fans of the popular series have been eager to learn which additional cast members could be joining Brooke and Peyton in the potential revival.

The initial report about the series that's still in early development indicated that Danneel Ackles was in talks to reprise her role as Rachel Gatina and that Chad Michael Murray had "no plans" to appear as Lucas. For her part, Ackles is on board as an executive producer with husband Jensen Ackles.

There’s only one Tree Hill, and it’s Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton‘s onscreen home again.

As Deadline revealed today, a One Tree Hill sequel series is in development at Netflix with Bush and Burton reprising the roles of Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, in addition to serving as executive producers.

The pair celebrated the return to their TV roots, posting a recent cast reunion photo with Danneel Ackles and Bevin Prince.

“What if you really can go back home? If there’s an opportunity to team with brilliant creatives and build a space where all our friends can show off their talents? Own our history? Reclaim our turf? Honor our fans? Sign us up,” the pair wrote in a joint statement posted individually to their respective Instagram accounts.

“There’s only one Tree Hill, after all,” they continued. “And you — the #OTHfam — have shown us that it’s not just an idea.

The cast of “One Tree Hill” will reunite for an upcoming charity basketball game to benefit the V Foundation for cancer research. Fans can watch the game via a live stream on “House of Highlights,” a leading TNT sports brand.

On May 18, Friends With Benefit Charity Events will reunite the cast “One Tree Hill” basketball team for a game at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina — the gym the Tree Hill Ravens played at in the show and the court where Michael Jordan played high school basketball.

Cast members confirmed to participate include James Lafferty, Robbie Jones, Bryan Greenberg, Paul Johansson, Craig Sheffer, Tyler Hilton, Cullen Moss, Brett Claywell, Stephen Colletti, Lee Norris, Antwon Tanner and Texas Battle. Chad Michael Murray will be making a virtual appearance.

The game, which is sold out, will be globally live-streamed via House of Highlights YouTube channel at 11 a.m. Et.

"One Tree Hill" fans, the end is near. The cast and crew are currently shooting their series finale, and we've been following along on Twitter as they say goodbye to friends and favorite locations, recalling the memories they've shared there along the way.

On Tuesday (Nov. 8), they shot their last scenes at Tric, the club location that Karen and Peyton in Season 2 and has been a focal point ever since. Sophia Bush shared an exciting piece of news via her Twitter: Gavin DeGraw is returning as a musical guest for the final episode.

DeGraw, of course, is the man responsible for "I Don't Want to Be," the show's theme song, which was covered by a wide variety of artists for the Season 8 opening credits.

Dark House Movie StillDark House, from director Darrin Scott, has been chosen by fans to receive a theatrical showing later this month. This film beat out seven other films in an online contest supported by Fangoria magazine. Now, Dark House will be shown in at least three cities including: New York, Dallas, and San Francisco. The film will premiere July 30th and continue until August 5th. The film itself is a haunted house styled film, where a group of actors become trapped within the confines of a possessed attraction. The film is laden with effects and Dark House will surely stop some hearts with the tale of a "children's massacre" (Fangoria). Have a look at all the premiere locations inside, along with the film's trailer.

A synopsis for Dark House below...

"Traumatized by an terrifying event in her youth, Claire Thompson tries to exorcise her demons by revisiting the old...

The votes are in, and we couldn't be happier to report that Darin Scott's Dark House is the winner of the Fangoria FrightFest film competition and will receive a theatrical release!

Directed by writer/producer Scott, Dark House (review here) is a high-tech take on the traditional “haunted house,” featuring a charismatically maniacal performance by horror legend Jeffrey Combs. His co-stars are Meghan Ory, Danso Gordon, Bevin Prince, Shelly Cole, Matt Cohen, Scott Whyte, Ryan Melander, Meghan Maureen McDonough, and Scotty Noyd, Jr.

The Fangoria FrightFest was born out of a partnership with Lightning Media to distribute independent horror films via DVD, Video on Demand and Digital Download. Along with Dark House the other entrants included Pig Hunt, Fragile, Grimm Love, Hunger, Road Kill, The Haunting and The Tomb.

Dig on the synopsis, some exclusive new stills, DVD cover art and trailer below; and look for the flick on...

Dark House -- part of the Fangoria Frightfest label -- reminded me of Waxwork starring that guy from Gremlins. Meghan Ory stars as Claire Thompson, an actress who takes a job at Walston Rey's (Jeffrey Combs) newest haunted house attraction, Dark House! Filled with top of the line technology, the mainframe is possessed by an evil spirit making the hologram hooligans come to life. The best part of Dark House -- and why it reminded me of Waxwork -- is its colorful killers, my favorite is the gaysexual killer clown (see below). The flick also features One Tree Hill hottie Bevin Prince, who is also starring in the upcoming horror thriller Wreckage.

Dig Aaron Paul's criminal turn in The Last House on the Left ? The man's on the receiving end of evil this time in Wreckage . Sometimes actor, sometimes director John Mallory Asher (Jenny McCarthy's Dirty Love ) wrangles Paul and co-stars Cameron Richardson ( Harper's Island ), Kelly Kruger and Bevin Prince and tosses them in an abandoned junkyard after their car breaks down. Their problems are intensified when a serial killer escapes and begins to pick them off one by one. Get a peek at the trailer and stay tuned for more. The film is in post-production at the time of this writing.

Director Darin Scott dropped ShockTillYouDrop.com over night to inform us his latest directorial effort, Dark House , has been awarded the "Best Horror Feature Film" accolade at Los Angeles' Shriekfest Horror Film Festival . Starring Jeffrey Combs, the film finds a group of haunted attraction employees dealing with real-life ghouls roaming the halls of the home they're working in. Meghan Ory, Danso Gordon, Bevin Prince, Shelly Cole and Erin Cummings co-star. For pics and a trailer, click here ! Hopefully, we'll get some word on Dark House distribution news soon.

"Dark House," has already premiered at the Los Angeles Fangoria Weekend of Horrors and the film is currently being shown at the Cannes film festival. A production of Fatal Frame and Red Shogun the film will be looking for international distribution while a DVD or further limited releases dates are announced. Making the most of an independent film budget the first trailer shows many action scenes with an orphanage, once the killing grounds of a serial killer, becoming the films primary set. Watch this one in the dark for full effect and prepare for a short ride through a haunted house teaming with ghosts and goblins.

A synopsis for "Dark House," below...

Traumatized by an terrifying event in her youth, Claire Thompson tries to exorcise her demons by revisiting the old house where a terrible children's massacre took place. Now a haunted house attraction set up by impressario Walston Rey,...

ShockTillYouDrop.com has been sent an early trailer for Darin Scott's spookshow Dark House . As the name implies, this is indeed about a malevolent abode, a mansion-cum-haunted attraction run by Jeffrey Combs' Walston Rey that turns against its own employees. Meghan Ory, Danso Gordon, Bevin Prince, Shelly Cole and Erin Cummings are part of the ensemble cast. Enjoy the preview below and read up on the film here . We'll have more coverage as the film's release news comes in.
