I'm a huge PEYTON FAN <3 and Leyton fan. I don't think that her behavior was JUSTIFIED, or RIGHT, but I'd do the same thing if the person I loved was PRETENDING to move on despite every single sign he gave me that he still loved me. If that makes sense. As a Leyton and Peyton fan, I am HAPPY that she did because of the way it ended up.

^ Agree with everything you said :) Maybe it was justified maybe nnot, Im glad it worked out the way it did tho

Not cool. I mean, she acted like a really crazy needy woman! She just acted so bitchy because she couldn't have Lucas & she always make it seem like she was the victim. It was not Lindsay's fault to fall for Lucas & accepting his so proposal! She loved him & wanted to be with him. Peyton didn't have like any good reason to act like that.
If she really loved him, she would have let him go for REAL. She was always the one who fought for him & she was always the one who came back to him even though he was the one in screwing everything. Peyton didn't have any dignity in s5 IMO. I really don't like her in that season.
I would never act like that even if I love the guy too much. If he come backs for me then fine, we would be together. If he doesn't, then it's time to move on. I won't be crying for him no more. I have better things to do.

I understand why she was really upset by Lucas moving on considering that in the flashbacks he left her because she couldn't agree to his ultimatum which is basically what he did. Get married or break up...they were NINETEEN for goodness sakes.Peyton was being the rational one and I completely agree with why she said she didn't want to marry him at that pivotal point in their lives. That would have been a tougher road and Peyton's explanation was correct and Lucas was really insecure and didn't think things through and was too hurt after being turned down and didn't grasp Peyton's "not now". She was being a little too bitchy to Lindsey and I don't think I would do that but considering the love Peyton had for Lucas I would have held some hostility to her[Lindsey] but the difference between me and Peyton is I wouldn't have been overt about my jealousy. It depends on your personality.

The honorable thing to say is....as xQeenOfHearts said was " If she really loved him, she would have let him go for REAL." But unless you were in that situation I don't think that people will always do what they say. Being in that situation and having those feelings might change the way you believed you would handle this situation.

^^ TRUE. It just depends on the person. She did loved him & it would have been quite nice to see Peyton letting him go & Lucas realizing everything he felt for Peyton on his own & go get her.

Umm... Peyton was SO out of line in season 5. I would not want to associate with any person who acted like that. Let alone do those things myself.

It´s a different thing to say she was wrong but if you haven´t been in that situation you don´t don´t know for sure how you would act. I think she was justified because Lucas gave her many signs that he wasn´t over her either, which he clearly wasn´t.

I really hope this pick doesn´t turn into Peyton bashing pick

What is with all the Peyton in the hot seat picks? :P

Anyhow, I don't think her behavior was always justified or right but I can see why she did what she did and admired her courage, strength and grace afterward.

Nuff said.

She´s human, she made mistakes. SHOCKING.
I´m sure that if I was losing the guy I loved I wouldn´t act very graciously either.

[I only saw this pick after making the comment on the other, so i'm just gonna copy it. Sorry. xP]


We can never say never, so i can't tell FURE SURE that i wouldn't ever act like she did, even though right now i'm 100% i won't. xD

I don't think it's justified.
You know, Peyton used to be more strong and independent, but in season 5 all of that went away. Like Emma said, "s5 Peyton is an embarrassment for all women.

It's okay to miss a person, but she was way too needy (and sometimes bitchy for no reason) about it. Especially when she caused it in the first place. I'm not even saying she should have said yes, but how come they never TALKED after that? Like, making things clear? How come such a "strong" couple broke up after that? Gosh. Things were so BAD handled, this is why i hate LP.

lucas was PEYTON'S man. not lindsay. what the hell is wrong with you people? lucas and peyton were meant for each other

Honestly I don´t know what I would do. Lucas was the love of her life and Peyton knew him so well, she knew that he was not over her. Like she said in 518 I know, when Lucas said it was hard losing her and seeing her again.
I think I wouldnt be okay with what she did if Lucas hadn´t given her hope that he still felt the same way, which he clearly did.. jealousy, kissing her back, telling her she looked amazing, writing another book about her and so on.

She may have acted a bit immature at times, but she was never malicious, and she did what she did out of love for Lucas. She did let Lucas go after she said she would. After that she did nothing to pursue him.
In the end she did the right thing and went as far as seeing Lindsey to convince her to take Lucas back, that was selfless.
She only wrote the lyrics in´the rivercourt after she had read the book that Lucas had written about HER while he was with Lindsey. That gave her hope again that Lucas still loved her, which he did.

^ She was never malicious? - Are you kidding me? Did you SEE her in the library with Lindsey? "with the very same ring!" and all the things about Lindsey being spoiled by her father. Yes, you can say that Lindsey was being a bitch back but Peyton STARTED it .. Lindsey tried to be nice, and Peyton was nothing but a bitch to her the whole fucking time.

And whats worse is she was a needy, clingy, pathetic, crying bitch.

It was pathetic - if I ever acted this way over a MAN i'd want someone to slap me and set me straight. She was so needy and pathetic. It honestly made me cringe for women everywhere.

Cas cat remember luke did call peyton 1 year after though. He wanted her to come to his book signing...

She acted immature in the library, but so did Lindsey, making fun of her almost dying, that was cruel.And the ring was the same one, she was jus being honest, bitchy but honest. And she took that back even though it was the same ring, she said it wasn´t .And Peyton had no idea Lindseys father had died, so the spoiled comment was not that bad. She did apologise later. Lindsey was not all innocent tn this though, she was bashing Peyton in front of her friends and so on.

She acted immature when provoked cause she was still hurting so much, but she did do many good and selfless things too, that can´t be just ignored.

well, the guy decided to get married, she should leave him alone.

Believe me guys you have to be in the situation to understand Peyton. She is MORE than justified & it's really hard seeing the man you love with someone else especially if it's 'your fault'. Believe me I know! I'm not saying Peyton did not make mistakes but in that kind of situation you are desperate and can't really think clearly.

I know Peyton was not a saint but saying that Lindsey tried to be friends with Peyton is delusional. Considering the whole episode, Peyton was quiet patience. First the pizza thing, where Lindsey was yelling and her and nothing happened. Then she poked fun at Peyton nearly bleeding to death and Peyton did not ‘retaliate’. Then she discovered Lindsey’s ring was in fact her own and said nothing. When finally Lindsey ‘creative’ words came out ‘My name’s Peyton, fake blond Peyton, I don’t have a boyfriend cause I’m a bitch’ that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She was putting her finger in the wound and Peyton exploded. It was Lindsey who started this whole ‘rhyming war’. Peyton only retaliated and answered back. Well Lindsey, don’t start a fire if you are not ready to deal with the flames. I dare everyone to stay calm after all this.

As much as I believe Peyton hated and was angry at Lindsey she is far angrier at herself. She lost the man she loved for her ‘someday’ and have to live with this regret. And if this is not enough she has to listen to a stupid bitch blathering about HER ring. Besides Lindsey told her about the book review and how much Lucas chose the words carefully like he does not what to let go of her.
