The Mystery: How can the
half-brothers, Luke and Nathan, be exactly the same age?
The Answer: From creator and executive producer Mark Schwahn: "Alfred
Hitchcock used to say 'Don't belabor the MacGuffin.' The MacGuffin was the thing
that set everything into motion. Dan Scott and Karen Roe were high school
sweethearts. Karen got pregnant in the summer after their senior year in high
school. Dan chose to pursue his basketball dreams and accepted a scholarship
offer, leaving Karen behind. Arriving at college, Dan met Deb. They began dating
and a couple of months later, she was also pregnant. In the words of Karen, 'Dan
always was an overachiever.' Perhaps because of the residual guilt of his
abandonment of Karen, or perhaps because Deb was from money, from a big city, or
simply seemed like his true love, Dan accepted this responsibility and married
Deb. The following year, Lucas [Chad Michael Murray] was born in March. And in
June, Nathan [James Lafferty] was born. The end."
