* RomanticFalseLead: WordOfGod states on the Season 5 DVD that the intention behind Lindsey was (whilst still working towards Lucas & Peyton getting back together) to introduce a new love interest for Lucas, who wasn't blatantly there just to serve as an obvious false lead & could very easily be the right girl for Lucas in a different way to Peyton, but in the end it didn’t work at all as she turned out to be just a rebound while everyone took the Lucas/Peyton reunion as a ForegoneConclusion, which in fact was what ultimately happened.
