I was definitely shocked, to say the least, when it happened; but I truly believe that it gave so much more depth to Dan's character. It also gave Paul such a meaty role, for which he has played marvelously.. Craig Sheffer is an amazing guy, and I was so sad to see both him and Keith go, but the ramifications of that event reverberated so deeply throughout the series that we are still feeling them. I think had dan simply apologized to lucas and everything was right with the world would have been the mistake. It would have made tree hill so milque toast, and that blandness is something I hope we never see in tree hill.
