Jake Jagielski, portrayed by Bryan Greenberg in twenty-five episodes between the first three seasons, is a Ravens basketball player who first appears in the pilot episode. He forms a friendship with Lucas, not joining in on the team's hatred towards him. He is the single father to his daughter Jenny, however he had kept her a secret until Lucas convinces him otherwise. He forms a friendship with Peyton as she first offers to watch Jenny during basketball practice and later babysits while he attends his cousin's wedding. He briefly holds a job at Karen's Café, allowing him to take Jenny into work with him if unable to find a babysitter. Jenny's mother, Niki, returns to Tree Hill, hoping to become part of her daughter's life, but Jake wants to have nothing to do with her, considering the fact that she left him and Jenny 9 months ago. Unable to sort their differences, Niki begins a custody battle for Jenny, causing Jake to leave town with the help of Peyton's dad.

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. Niki 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. Niki, 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 Niki 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 in the final season.

• Played by: William Haze
• Seasons: 2

Rick is a local band manager who agreed to support Peyton's all ages nightclub Tric, offering her drugs in the process. He eventually ceased any involvement with Tric after Karen kicked him out, having discovered his drug usage in her club.

Anna Taggaro

• Played by: Daniella Alonso
• Seasons: 2

Daniella Alonso portrays Anna Taggaro, who moves to Tree Hill to escape rumors that she has been having a relationship with another girl. She is first introduced in season two’s "I Will Dare", when she helps Lucas escape the security guards at the local mall. The two then go to a pizzeria together. She and Lucas watch a meteor shower which her brother Felix disapproves of. They decide to take things slow becoming ‘friends with potential’, however she offers him sex after a formal dance, which he turns down due to not being in love with her. Lucas ends the relationship after realizing that he has feelings for Brooke, however the two remain friends as she confides her sexuality to him. Anna forms a strong relationship with Peyton and kisses her after misreading the signs. When she discovers that Felix wrote ‘dyke’ on Peyton’s locker she turns him in getting him expelled. She comes out to him and states how hurt she is by his use of the word. Anna decides that she should stop running from who she is and comes out to her parents, and eventually leaves Tree Hill to re-join her previous school.

"Her use of the word 'gay' instead of 'bisexual' wasn't meant to imply that Anna is not bisexual. If I had known the word bisexual was more taboo, we may have gone in that direction. For me, it seemed like Felix was so homophobic, that for her to say 'I’m gay' to him felt even stronger for her."

— Mark Schwahn on the decision for the character to come out using the word 'gay'.

When creating characters for the second season, Mark Schwahn had wanted to add a family, which the addition of Anna and Felix allowed him to do. Once casting Daniella Alonso, he refrained from telling her that the rumors were true, however once informing her on her character’s back story it was like “flipping a switch” as she knew what to play. The character was made bisexual as opposed to a lesbian so that her past could be kept secret. Anna was presented as a romantic interest for Lucas, "[Schwahn] thought if she was strictly a lesbian character, that would be really out of nature for her, and a little disingenuous to lesbians," and they needed to hide what her journey was going to be. Alonso feels that the audience was not receptive to the character initially—especially with a large portion of the audience wanting Brooke and Lucas to be together—however over the course of her arc they began to accept Anna.

Emily "Jules" Chambers

“Being such an opposite of him and coming into contact with people like that, I know what it’s like to hate those kinds of people, I know what those people do to make me hate them and that’s what I try to do as Chris”

— Tyler Hilton on his portrayal of Chris Keller.

Tyler Hilton was awarded the role for playing his song Glad with Mark Schwahn seeing that he was right for the part by the first chorus.

She felt that Brooke should be focusing on the company and not ‘boys with rings,’ and reminded her that the company is called Clothes over Bros. Brooke told Victoria that she was ready to take the company to the next level and Victoria replied that they were going to have everything that they ever wanted. She told Brooke that she would like her to call her Victoria, because 'Mom' makes her sound too old.

But she soon started to flirt with Nathan behind Haley's back, something that he frequently told her to stop and ends up kissing him. Haley comes home one night to see Nathan and Carrie in the bathroom, wet from a shower. Nathan tries to explain that Carrie came into the shower while he was in it and tried to get her out, but Haley doesn't listen. She grabs Carrie by the hair and drags out of the bathroom and tells her that she's fired.

Nathan tries to reconcile with her by saying it was Carrie that was flirting, not him. Haley gets even more upset when Nathan blurts out that she kissed him. This causes an argument between the two and at that time, Jamie falls into the pool and almost drowns. After Nathan pulls him out of the water, Haley tells him she wants a divorce and Nathan temporarily moves out. Carrie comes back a few episodes later to get her stuff and to say goodbye to Jamie. After Carrie leaves, Jamie tells Haley that he hates her and runs to his room, but he eventually says he's sorry.

Carrie isn't seen again until Lucas and Lindsey's wedding. This time, she's disguised herself by dying her hair dark, almost resembling Haley's hair color. She's with the wedding orchestra and one of the players asks if she'd be more comfortable sitting down front. Carrie says no and that her son is the wedding (referring to Jamie).

When Jamie asks Skills to go the bathroom, Carrie approaches him. He's thrilled to see her again and Carrie says that she's here because his mom and dad said she could see him again. She then attempts to take him out of the church, but Jamie is hesitant. Carrie reassures him that it's okay and the two of them quickly leave the church. However, she doesn't realize that Dan is sitting in his car across the street and follows them.

Later on, everyone stars to realize that Jamie has been missing for a long time. At first, they think Dan took him because Haley told Nathan that he was at the church earlier. Nathan runs out into the street to stop an oncoming cop car. Nathan is outraged when the cops don't listen to him about Jamie and harasses him for running in front of the car like he did. Nathan finally gets them to listen by saying that his son is missing and that he thinks he's with Dan and tells him that Dan had recently gotten out of jail for murder. The cops get a physical description of Jamie and send out an APB on Dan.

Meanwhile, Carrie has taken Jamie to a hotel and is getting ready to dye his hair so he can look like her. Jamie asks "Won't Mama be mad?" and Carrie says no and then quietly says to herself "Besides, I'm your mama now." She leaves to go get the hair dye and when she's gone, Dan goes to the window and tells Jamie that he's here to take him home and to trust him so he'll open the door.

When Carrie comes back, she thinks Jamie is playing hide and seek so she playfully tries to call him out. Suddenly, Dan lunges at her and pins her against the wall by her neck. He tells her who he is and that if she ever comes after his family again, he'll kill her. To prove his point, he tells her that he murdered Keith out of cold blood and won't hesitate for a second to kill her. Dan takes Jamie home, where everyone is anxiously awaiting for any word from the police. Haley and Nathan rush to Jamie and hug him when they see him walk into the room. Jamie says that he's okay because Dan saved him. Everyone is silent as Dan slowly enters the room.

The next time Carrie is seen is in the season 6 premiere. It turns out that she was the one who hit Dan with a car in last season's finale and was holding him hostage as a way to lure Jamie to her. When Dan tries to escape, he comes across a mysterious grave. From the looks of it, it's the grave of a child. Carrie appears and before hitting him in the head with a shovel, she angrily tells him to not touch her son. When Dan comes to, he realizes that the grave was of Carrie's own son who died when he was around Jamie's age which explained why she was so obsessed with him. Dan tells her that her plan to get Jamie will never work. Carrie says that it already is.

Carrie poses as a nurse with a British accent who says that Dan is near death and is wishing to see Jamie. Haley gets the address and takes Jamie with her. Once they arrive, she tells him to wait in the car while she checks everything out. Once inside, she realizes that something is up once she sees Dan restrained to the bed. She starts undoing the restraints and tries to wake Dan up. He tries to warn by saying"Get Jamie", but Haley is confused by what he means and asks what's going on. Dan then sees Carrie sneaking up behind Haley and before he can warn her, Carrie hits Haley on the head, knocking her unconscious.

Jamie, who is still in the car, stars looking around for Haley when he's startled by Carrie who sweetly tells him to unlock the door. Jamie refuses and says he wants his mom. Carrie angrily tells him that she is his mommy and to unlock the door. Jamie refuses again and Carrie goes and retrieves an ax and smashes the window. But Jamie has gotten out of the car and is running towards the cornfield. Carrie gives chase and Jamie manages to hide in a part of the field. Carrie sweetly tells Jamie that she's sorry for getting mad and to come out because she "has something for him." It turns out to be a full syringe of a sedative. Jamie starts running again, but someone quickly covers his mouth and pulls him into the cornstalks. For a second, Jamie is petrified, but he relaxes when it turns to be Haley who tells him that it's her. The two of them manage to stay hidden, but then Haley's phone rings. Carrie hears it and closes in them. Haley shuts her phone off and then tells Jamie to run. The two of them take off, Carrie not far behind them.

Before they get to the house, Carrie is stopped by Deb who smashes a bottle in her face, knocking her out. Haley asks how she knew where they were and Deb said she knew something was up when she saw the address: Dan hates the woods. Relieved, Haley and Deb start laughing as Deb complains that bottle she used held a scotch that she was saving for the day she was rid of Dan for good. Suddenly, Carrie lunges up with the ax and comes at Haley, but is stopped when Dan shoots her. Haley and Deb look at him in shock and Dan says "God, I hate the woods."

Later on, Carrie's eyes snap open and she starts laughing. Dan is standing there and he asks her if she remembers what he said. He tells her again that he said that he would kill her if she ever came after his family again. Carrie then mocks him by saying that he hasn't and never will. Dan just gives a small smile and then points the gun at her again. He fires another shot and then screen goes blank. It's assumed that the last shot did indeed kill her.

• Seasons: 6

Sawyer Brooke Scott is the daughter of Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer. Peyton initially has severe abdominal pains; fearing the worst, she visits the doctor. Upon finding out she’s pregnant, both she and Lucas are ecstatic to be starting their family. A few months into the pregnancy, Peyton collapses again. This time doctors diagnose placenta previa; a condition that carries the risk of possible death to mother and/or child during pregnancy or delivery. Lucas supports the suggestion of termination, not wanting to lose Peyton or condemn their child to growing up motherless, but Peyton fights against it. In the end, they decide to continue the pregnancy, a decision strengthened when they feel the baby kick for the first time. The pregnancy is further complicated when Peyton is involved in a car accident. Both mom and baby are fine, but now confined to bed rest, giving Peyton the time to create a ‘memory box’ and a video tape for a “just in case” scenario…something Lucas doesn’t appreciate her considering. The baby is born slightly prematurely, when at approximately eight months along. The night after their wedding, Lucas finds Peyton unconscious and bleeding on their bedroom floor. He rushes her to the hospital where she undergoes an emergency C-section. The baby is healthy and released to go home with Lucas as Peyton is now in a coma from the shock to her body. “Baby Girl Scott” remains nameless for the first four days until Peyton wakes and tells Lucas their daughter’s name is Sawyer. Sawyer is carried in by her grandma, Karen Roe (Lucas' mom), to meet her mom for the first time; resulting in a tearfully happy Peyton vowing to "love her forever". The middle name is derived from Peyton’s life-long best friend, Brooke Davis, decided on when Peyton watches Brooke interact with the baby. Sawyer is briefly held by her paternal grandfather, Dan Scott (who Lucas despises), when he approaches Peyton while she’s alone with the baby. There’s a small time jump within the episode, to when Sawyer is about seven months old and can stand with the help of her father.
