Countdown to Goodbye: Post 12

So it's time for another one. While it's really fun to reminisce, it's really sad to think that after this season there will never be another new episode. No more anticipating season premieres. It's really freaking sad. But this is cathartic for me and hopefully you too.

Character: Karen Roe
Portrayed by: Moira Kelly
First Seen: "Pilot"
Last Seen: "Remember Me As A Time Of Day"
Status: Traveling the World

Can we all just agree that it's impossible not to love Karen? I mean seriously, we been through a lot with her. Dan. Keith. Dan. Keith. Andy. Keith. Dan again and back to Andy. She's the epitome of strength and grace. Single mother/ Entrepreneur/ Survivor. She was definitely my favorite "adult" on the show. She was literally a mom to everyone. Except maybe Nathan. But he had his own stuff going on. We rooted for her in her business ventures. Cried with her when Keith died. Cried for her when she died...for a few seconds anyway. You're always happy to see her when she's back for big events ( Weddings and births) and sad to see her go. I doubt we'll see her this season but she's still one of the best mom's on TV. After all she's the one who taught us that that there is only...One Tree Hill.

Favorite Scene(s):

Season 4 episode 21. This is when she visited Dan in jail (duh). And oh dear lord Moira is amazing. I believed her pain. Her anger. I've watched the last episodes of season four the most out of any season and this was definitely a part of why. I love it. You know you do too. 

*Also she's the voice of adult Nala in The Lion King. How awesome is that?

It's been one hell of a ride.

Goodnight Karen Roe
