16 Things I Forgot Happened In Season 2 Of One Tree Hill
Felix and Anna are main characters. The most forgettable, boring, pointless characters grace the screen this season. Anna was kind, and her friendship with Lucas was cute, but Felix was the WORST. Peyton does drugs. The opening of TRIC causes Peyton to be faced with the reality of the music industry: there are drugs. The strangest part of this whole plot is the grown man insisting that this 17-year-old do cocaine RIGHT NOW or she'll never make it in the industry. Bro, why? Andy confesses to nearly killing someone. Karen thinks Andy is cheating on her but really he's just taking care of a woman he injured in an accident years ago. Can you say "random forced conflict"? Mouth breaks Brooke's windshield. All because she didn't like him back. Loser behavior. Brooke is Lucas's date to Keith's wedding. Take 1.5 of their relationship. Karen is the one to confront Jules about lying to Keith. Causing Dan to suggest that the end of Keith and Jules' relationship is all her fault. I don't know about that, buddy. Nathan hangs out with Taylor at a random bar. After visiting Haley on tour, Nathan ends up visiting her sister Taylor at the bar she works and there's a lot of weird stuff that happens. Auto fast-forward. Brooke is elected class president. Could've sworn this happened in season 3 but nope! B. Davis wins her presidential race in season two! Cooper makes his first appearance. Known more famously for having a (problematic) relationship with Rachel in season three, Deb's brother Cooper shows up to Tree Hill to help Nathan (and Lucas) unwind. The alternate reality episode. And believe it or not, this isn't the only alternate reality episode in the show's history. When it's Lucas's turn to be in a (second) coma in season four, he has his own It's a Wonderful Life adventure led by Ghost Keith. Lucas and Andy uncover financial secrets about Dan that never get brought up again. Dan admits of the (fraudulent?) activity, but insists he's saving money for Lucas to go to college. The audience is led to believe this is a lie, because Dan is a known liar. However, Lucas takes him at his word and that's that. Jake goes to jail. Dude goes through the ringer in the first two seasons. Brooke almost moves to California. Of course she actually doesn't, but her parents do! She ends up visiting them for the summer, allowing Lucas and Peyton to grow closer in her absence. Ellie lies to Peyton about being her birth mother. A woman named Ellie shows up to Tree Hill under the guise of being a journalist covering Peyton's involvement in TRIC. However, she quickly reveals her true identity: Peyton's birth mom. Peyton starts getting creepy messages. You heard that right. The creepy messages that end up being from her not-brother Derek? They begin in season TWO. She first believes that they're Ellie, but when Ellie says it isn't her, Peyton drops it, leading it to also be dropped by the writers until early season four. The dealership catches fire. For some reason, you could tell me this happens in season one, two, or three and I'd believe you. Haley also comes back at the end of the season, the night of the fire, making her a suspect!

Love Island's Ben Holbrough: Everything to know about the taxi driver - age, job, height, Instagram
The Love Island villa is filling up and one of the contestants in this year's line-up is Ben Holbrough, a private taxi driver from Gloucester. Ben was originally in a couple with Shakira Khan, but was stolen by the first bombshell of the season - Toni Laites. However, on Wednesday's episode (11th June), he told Toni right to her face that she's given him the "ick" - yikes. And now he's back to wooing (ish) Shakira, despite saying that Toni picking him "humbled" his previous partner - a comment that didn't sit well with many viewers. So, who exactly is Ben? And what's he looking for on Love Island? As season 12 continues, read on for everything you need to know about him. Job: Private Hire Taxi driver Lives: Gloucester Ben is one of the contestants in this year's Love Island line-up. He's an OG, and was announced as part of the cast on Tuesday 3rd June. Outside of the show, Ben works as a private taxi driver and model. In episode one, he spoke about his line of work, saying he usually does airport runs and takes children to school. Ben is 23-years-old and is one of the younger Islanders in the villa. Shakira and Tommy are currently the youngest at 22. He sure is. You can follow Ben on Instagram at where he currently has 17.8k followers. This number is likely to increase, following his Love Island appearance. On his grid, Ben shares lots of selfies, shirtless snaps and some holiday pictures with his pals. He also shares some modelling photos, having worked with several fashion brands. Ben is 6ft 2in tall. Ben is currently in a couple with American bombshell Toni, however, he told her that she's given him the "ick" and she said it right back to him LOL. It looks like he could be trying to win Shakira back, as he took her to the Hideaway garden to talk. Ahead of the show, Ben expressed his hopes to find "someone sexy" with "good vibes". Asked what type of Islander he'd like to couple up with, he replied: "Someone sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact - they're all the traits I look for. Oh, and also a cute smile, I just look at you and know I can be around you all day, every day." New episodes of Love Island air on ITV2 at 9pm on weekdays and Sundays.
