One Tree Hill: 7 Worst Moves Of Lucas Scott We All Chose To ignore
One Tree Hill was one of my favorite shows as a teenagers and even still in my 20s. It was my comfort show, the one I had seen many times. And it still is.
However, one thing that has majorly changed with the years is my outlook on Lucas Scott’s behavior. Like many, I used to gush over how cute he was as if that could hide the levels of wrong he brought with him.
Because, yes Lucas Scott was cute and maybe even nice, but he was also wrong many times and bratty enough to get away with it. Pretty privilege I suppose!
These days, if a friend was describing a date as acting the same way as Lucas, I would raise all the red flags. So here are the worst 10 moves of Lucas Scott on the show.
1. Cheating on Brooke
Honestly, one could wonder how Lucas wasn’t tired going from Brooke to Peyton and then from Peyton to Brooke and how the girls could let him. Seriously, Lucas? Jumping between Brooke and Peyton like it’s season finale sweeps week was a low blow.
From flirting with Peyton, always saving her over Brooke and then finally kissing her while with Brooke, it’s all just too much. Thankfully, our girl Brooke came through and finally ditched him!
2. Cheating on Lindsey
Yes, Lindsey was super annoying. She came out of nowhere and disturbed the whole balance of the group. That said, she didn’t deserve how Lucas treated her. One can be annoying and still deserve respect.
In that regard, Lucas did not give her that. He clearly missed the memo on loyalty. Locking lips with Peyton while he’s engaged to Lindsey? That’s a soap opera move, not real-life boyfriend material. Season 5 was the straw that broke the camel’s back: Lucas was not worth it!
3. Proposing to Lindsey with The Same Ring as Peyton
How much of an idiot can one be? It was already super difficult for Lindsey to get in. But let’s make it worse and propose to her with the same ring he used to propose to Peyton? Honestly buddy, you’re not trying very hard, are you?
Not to mention that he also he totally manipulates Lindsey in that scene because she was about to leave him. Convenient proposal right?
4. Hiding his HCM condition
Because nothing says “I trust you” like hiding a life-threatening heart condition from everyone who cares about you, right? Season 3 honestly didn’t do him a favor. All this talk about not telling anyone and being so dramatic about it when he could just take his treatment and stop lying! Anyways, bad move, especially towards his mom.
5. Lucas Made No communication Effort
During the missing years, we learn through flashbacks that Lucas had actually proposed to Peyton while she was interning in LA. We also learn that she is the one who said “not now” as they were too young.
Lucas’ lack of communication skills creating this huge gap in their relationship which also led to their break up. Actually, it might have simply been his ego. In Season 5, he keeps repeating how Peyton said “no”. Well, that’s not true. Lucas knows it. We know it. He was just offended things didn’t work out on his terms and made no effort to understand Peyton’s position.
6. He didn’t Help Haley Find Nathan
Season 9 focuses on Nathan being kidnapped and Dan and Haley trying to find him. Surprisingly (or not), Lucas doesn’t come back to help them. In reality, Chad Michael Murray had already left the show, hence why he only made a short appearance at the airport to meet Haley. We understand Chad, but does that mean we have to understand Lucas? Nope.
7. He Flirted With His Half-Brother’s Girlfriend
Season 1 had us feeling all the feels. One of the biggest parts of the plot involved Lucas flirting with Peyton while she was dating Nathan who was Lucas’ half-brother. Do you follow?
We get it, Season 1’s Lucas and Nathan don’t get along. But still, that’s a shady move towards Nathan considering Lucas knew that Dan wasn’t treating right. It’s also a pretty selfish move towards Peyton who found herself in an awkward position. All together, not a pretty scene!
Which Lucas’ moves made you the most angry? Let us know! In the mean time, remember to never settle for the bare minimum!
