One Tree Hill spoiler alert: Quinn and Clay are alive!

This pair will survive the shooting from May's finale - but what kind of shape will they be in as a result of it?

TV Guide confirms that Clay will remain hospitalized throughout the first trio of season eight episodes, culminating in a storyline where "viewers will spend lots of time with Clay's ghost."

Let's hope this makes far more sense than the time Grey's Anatomy went a similar route with the character of Denny Duquette.

In less mysterious, but equally exciting One Tree Hill news: characters from the show will crossover and appear on the October 12 episode of Life Unexpected. That should be very, very cool.
