I really do wish Peyton would have SPOKEN UP! The library kiss should've been told to Brooke immediately! Also Brooke telling Lucas about Peyton's feelings, but I get that was hard because Brooke liked him too. But anyway. All!

So much for being honest.

I agree with Nikky!! I think that if Peyton told Brooke that she did like Lucas, then Brooke wouldn't have gone after him. But I also think that if Brooke and Peyton were really best friends they wouldn't have let Lucas come between them in the first place!!

But in my opinion hey all could have handled the whole triangle better then they did. They all at some point messed up.

Peyton should have told Brooke about what happened in Savannah!

This is something I've NEVER understood! Instead of just dropping it on her that she thought she still had feelings for Lucas, why didn't Peyton explain to Brooke what happened with Jake in Savannah?? Why not just tell her, "I had a dream about the shooting & in my dream I said, "I love you, Lucas." So Jake said that i need to figure out how i really feel."

Lucas shouldn't have been so indecisive/wishy-washy.

I get it, his pride was hurt after Peyton walked away in 1x07, but if he wanted to be with her that much, he should have given her time instead of going out with Brooke. Obviously as a BL fan I'm very happy that BL went out etc etc. BUT as far as the triangle goes, it just made Lucas look indecisive.

Brooke should have told Lucas about Peyton's feelings.

Not even having anything to do with changing the outcome of things, I don't think it was fair to Lucas to keep such a crucial piece of the puzzle from him. He was so confused as to why Brooke was so upset, and i just think it would have made things much easier on all three of them if Lucas knew 100% of the details.

B&P shouldn't have let Lucas come between them.

This is a big one imo. Brooke & Peyton had been best friends for YEARS! They were there for each other through their hardest times. supported each other, loved each other... And then BAM! Throw it all to hell over some guy? It should NOT have been like that.

Lucas OR Peyton should have immediately told Brooke about the library kiss.

Sure, maybe Brooke would have still been a little upset that they kissed, but if it was told to her without any of the other drama going on, i believe it would have been so much better for everyone. She would have, in my opinion, been able to be a lot more understanding of the circumstances && obviously without it being combined with Peyton having just told her that she had feelings for Lucas, it wouldn't have been such a big issue.

{In S1} Peyton should have spoken up & told Brooke, don't go after Lucas.

And this... i know that this is something we Brooke/Brucas & Peyton/Leyton fans will always have trouble agreeing on, but i really think that Peyton should have spoken up and told Brooke flat out that she had feelings for Lucas. No matter what Brooke may have witnessed, or was supposed to know, Peyton NEVER came right out and said, "I have feelings for Lucas and i don't want you to go after him."

Agree with a lot of these! But mainly, I blame Lucas. Lucas should have broken up with Brooke in season 1, instead of continuing to "hide with her", only to betray her behind her back. Lucas should have later made it clear to Brooke, through his ACTIONS that she had nothing to worry about. Lucas should have tended to Brooke's insecurities and feelings, and stayed away from Peyton if that's what Brooke really wanted. And he really just should have made sure his priorities were in the right place, all along. Which he never did.

I also agree about the library kiss. All Brooke seemed to want from him was honesty, and comfort. And hiding something like that certainly didn't help anything.

And I do wish that Peyton would have spoken up to Brooke, about her feelings for Lucas in season 1. I don't see what good it did to hide it. A lot of mess could have been avoided, if BL never happened in the first place. And Peyton telling Brooke it was okay for her to date him did play a big part in that. Although, I do still blame Brooke too. Not only for going after him, despite deep down knowing Peyton's feelings... but I also feel like Brooke kind of guilted Peyton into giving her approval at times. One comment that comes to mind was when they were on Peyton's bed, and Brooke said something like "I would never cut you out for a guy, no matter who he is... or how happy he makes me." That to me seemed like she was laying the guilt trip on Peyton, and pressuring her to say it's okay.

I'm not sure how I feel about Brooke telling Lucas about Peyton's feelings. I'm not so sure that's her place. If Peyton wanted Lucas to know, then she would have told him herself. If Peyton was willing to bury it for the sake of saving their friendship, and BL... then I think it's only right that Brooke did too. But that's just me.

And I'm not sure what difference it would have made, if Peyton told Brooke about Savannah. Either way, the point is still the same. She had feelings for Lucas again. Telling her how she came to that realization I don't think would have made any difference in how Brooke reacted.

And OFCOURSE I wish that B&P wouldn't have let Lucas come between them, but I think that's easier said than done. And you know what? Actually, at the end of the day, they didn't! Yes, he came between them, and tore them apart for a while... but they did come out fine, and stronger because of it in the end :)

Uh Duh! How can you blame Brooke for going for a guy she liked when Peyton never spoke up? Brooke kept asking her if it was ok. What was she suppose to do? Not go for him and just wait for Peyton to make a move? No.

Also I don't think it's Brooke's job to tell Lucas about Peyton's feelings. That something for PEYTON herself to do.

Mostly this!

definitely. lucas played with both brooke, and peyton's mind a lot. he said one thing, but felt or did another. i dont think he ever fully understood what the right thing to do was, or how to make both girls happy. i think if he would have just taken the time to do the right and honest things, a lot of drama could have been avoided

Agreed with a lot of it! I think the whole triangle SL would have been much better written had writers handled those aspects differently.

First and foremost, Lucas shouldn't have gone for Brooke in season 1 still being in love with Peyton. He wanted "everything" with Peyton and then he goes for Brooke & gives up on Peyton so fast, even though he STILL wants to be with Peyton and even allows himself to lie to Brooke and have all those meetings with Peyton behind her back.

Brooke in season 3 clearly knew and suspected that something was going on between LP and that the connection between them was still there and that's where all her insecurities came from. When she knew about Peyton's feelings for Luke, she should have told Luke about it. She should have told him and listen to what he says/thinks about it and see how he handles the situation.

I get why Lucas and Peyton didn't tell Brooke about the library kiss immediatelly, they where both very confused. But they shouldn't have kept it away from Brooke for so long.

or not exist at all would be cool as well
