“It was so scary” … Hilary Barton (Peyton) reveals a terrifying anecdote about the behavior of the creator of the Scott brothers.

It’s no longer a secret: The behind-the-scenes shoot at Les Frères Scott was far from as stellar as we thought it would be. Since the end of the series in 2012, the languages ​​of the actors and the technical teams have been gradually relaxed.

In 2017, several women, including Sophia Bush (Brooke), Hilary Burton (Peyton) and Bethany Joy Lentz (Haley), published a letter condemning series creator Mark Schwan’s misconduct.

And since launching their Drama Queens podcast, the three actors have been regularly revisiting the behind-the-scenes of the series and their relationship with the creator, whom they nicknamed “Voldemort,” “The Boss” or even “He Who Must Not Be Pronounced.” name”.

Hilary Burton wants to film a scene with the creator

In one of the podcast’s latest episodes, which aired on August 21, Hilary Barton returned to a scene from Season 5 that marked her special occasion. A series from episode 13, in which the actor responded to Mark Schwan, who took on himself an on-screen role as Max, a record store near Peyton.

“I didn’t talk to him in real life, so he wrote the character in the episode to hug me. It was so scary…“- he told his stars. “When I got the script, I thought, “Come on, it’s just a day’s work, it’s just a day’s work.”“.

To cope with filming this scene, which promised to be an effort, Hilary Burton asked relatives to be present on the set, especially her father. “It was my friend’s father who directed the episode, and I had my brother on set, but it wasn’t enough. I invited my father that day and he stayed behind the monitor all day. Which was pretty weird, wasn’t it? He wasn’t there to be friendly. He was there to attend.”

Hilary Burton explained that her father’s presence gave her a sense of security: “You can’t touch me, you can’t have a fair talk with me, you can’t do anything if I’m joking with my father.”

He even laughingly revealed that his father went with one of the team members into the parking lot, which Mark Schwahn could see from his office, to play with whips and crack the whip loudly to send a not necessarily very subtle message. to the creator.

This isn’t the first time Hilary Burton has spoken out about Mark Schwan’s inappropriate behavior on the set of The Scott Brothers. Last March, she revealed that Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) had to protect her from the creator while filming an episode in Texas.
