We know Season Seven of One Tree Hill will be the season of nakedness for many parties. But what about Brooke Davis? Gulp. Sophia Bush says good things are on the way for B ... even if they do involved her being clothed. Probably.

"It's really exciting for Brooke this year, with her business [and] her relationship with Julian (Austin Nichols)," says Sophia. "Brooke and her mother had a beautiful ending to their story last season, and I am definitely excited to explore that."

When the show returns, the One Tree Hill gang all gets together to celebrate little Jamie's birthday after a one-year time jump. Little J's party brings together the cast members you already know and love and some of the fresh faces added to the cast.

Newbie Shantel VanSanten (Quinn) attends the festivities, and says:

"The episode is basically an introduction to all of the new characters. I come to Jamie's birthday party [because] I haven't seen them in a while. It's reconnecting with the family ... and I get to smash Jamie's face into a cake!"

Robert Buckley's Clay shows up, too, with a special guest in tow. He reports: "I surprise Jamie by actually bringing Jerry Rice to sign his Jerry Rice jersey."

Sports-agent stereotypes aside, it sounds like Robert Buckley's character, Clay, is a pretty cool dude: "Clay's a great agent. He hustles and gets what he goes for, but there is a good deal of compassion and loyalty to him," Robert Buckley says.

Still, expect some drama heading his way. This is One Tree Hill, after all.

"He's got a lot of mystery to him, a lot of likeable qualities," says the oft-shirtless Buckley, "but maybe not a lot of accessible likable qualities."
