The "Drama Queens" rewatch podcast, One Tree Hill, is launching a YouTube channel. However, fans noticed that host Hilarie Burton Morgan was missing from the announcement.

In a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, March 19, cohosts Bethany Joy Lenz and Sophia Bush shared the exciting news. They announced that starting with season one, "Drama Queens" episodes will now be available on YouTube. They expressed their gratitude to fans for joining them on this journey and promised that there is much more to come.

Burton Morgan, 41, who is usually part of the hosting trio for podcast episodes and major announcements, was not seen in the new video. This absence comes after recent rumors of a possible disagreement between the cohosts of "Drama Queens".

Lenz, 42, used Instagram on February 29 to reveal her upcoming memoir titled "Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show". The book will delve into her ten-year involvement with an "abusive" cult during her time on One Tree Hill, a topic she briefly touched upon in the "Drama Queens" podcast.

Being a writer has brought me immense joy since I was 12 years old. This book is not the first one I envisioned writing for the public eye. Despite the challenging nature of the subject matter, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story in my own words. It is a tale of forgiveness and a guide to understanding manipulation, sprinkled with heartache and humor. We all make mistakes, and I hope that Dinner for Vampires serves as a reminder that no matter how strange the path you have taken, you are not alone.

After Lenz made her announcement, fans reportedly spotted a cryptic quote on Burton Morgan's Instagram Story. The quote read, "I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying." Following this, fans observed that Lenz and Burton Morgan had stopped following each other on Instagram. It seems that one of them may have blocked the other, as Lenz is no longer tagged in Burton Morgan's previous posts. Despite this, both actresses still follow Bush, 41 on the platform.

Speculations arose among fans regarding the potential rift between former co-stars Burton Morgan and Lenz. Some believed it could be related to design similarities between Lenz's new book and Burton Morgan's memoir, Grimoire Girl. Others suggested that their differing political beliefs might be the cause.

Despite the rumors, on the latest episode of "Drama Queens" released on Monday, March 18, Burton Morgan, Lenz, and Bush appeared to be conducting business as usual. This seemed to indicate that there may not be any actual tension between the pair.

As of now, neither Lenz nor Burton Morgan has addressed the alleged feud publicly. We have reached out to iHeartRadio, the producer of "Drama Queens," for any comments on the matter.
