OTH's Bethany and James: Castmates With Perfect Chemistry

We can't argue with this: James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Galeotti are on EW.com's list of Castmates with Chemistry for their portrayal of Nathan and Haley. Fan Sarah had this to say: "They just have this simple grace, comfort, and pureness to the way they portray this couple. They never cease to amaze, and really bring it each week." We couldn't have said it better!

Kudos to James and Bethany -- their chemistry got us hooked on Naley, and their acting keeps us glued to the TV. They've definitely earned this!

I REALLY like Naley in season 3....I thought that even tho they were fighting, the first eight episodes were good. And even tho they do fight in the third season @ first they end up having a better chemistry once they get back together in the third season then in the second season.

James/Joy were great in season 5 & I did enjoy the angst, but there was very little of them together and family scenes. Mark please give us more NH & NHJ! They are also married for crying out loud, so we need more kisses, touching ect.

lynda: I was actually wondering the same thing. Jensen and Jared have perfect chemistry, they are the most believable brothers I've seen on TV. It's not even the matter of an opinion, chemistry is something people either have or don't have and these guys have it.

They have perfect chemistry, the most fans, and they're hot.

Too bad the people handling the Teen Choice Awards Couldn't see that. Their loss.

yayy!! byt seriously NO DUHH, they rock together of course they have the best chemisrty EVER!!! but the poll its a tough decision bettween season 1 and season 3 those two were awesome naley seasons, liek i loved the beggining of season 2 but then haley left on tour :(, nathan should've gone with her.. and season four was good but like not enough of liek anything it was not enough naley action going on here and season five.. ehh we had that one GREAT naley episode wich was of course 513 man that was a great episode well the rest was REALLY boring bu the naley parts helped me survive! soo its bettween season 1 and season 3.. i dont no .. its too hard to decide

Joy and James is the heart of OTH. Hands down, they make the show. Without them, I don't think I will tune in. Their chemistry is to die for and Mark, I hope you're listening, we want better Naley in Season 6. They have the best chemistry on TV, heck best chemistry in TV history, use Joy/James "lightening in a bottle" you are always gushing about. Take advantage of their chemistry and give them good material to work with; they are amazing actors, they are the ones that can take your show to the next level!

JOY and JAMES always & forever!

I love Nathan and Haley together. I couldn't agree more, and think James and Joy do an amazing portrayal for this young and struggling couple who, still through all the trouble, are very much in love.

I think season one had the best NH. Fresh young love is always amazing. Plus the writers were more talented back in the day than they are now. I don't know what happened to the OTH writers since then, but they were raw and real in season one. The only reason NH make sense now, is because of the actors.

It's tough to deceide between S1, the innocent one and S3, the getting it back one. I love both of them. But after that I have the feeling that Nathan and Haley are always pushed in the backround for the Peyton/Brooke/Lucas drama which I'm sick of it. I watch the show because of Nathan/Haley and James/Joy. These 2 have such an amazing chemistry. Even without a dialog. Without the fans of Nathan and Haley the show would be dead by now. I think that we deserve some kind of payoff. Give us happy moments as a family with Jamie and give us moments with just Nathan and Haley as a couple. We deserve some passion between these 2. Hell even Deb has more love life than Nathan and Haley. And if S6 turns out like S4 and S5 with ignoring Nathan and Haley as a couple ans concetrate on Lucas and his love life I will turn out. Espicially if there would be a slut for Nathan just like in S5. I will always be greatfull for S1 and S3 (heck and even for some great episodes of S2 where these 2 were playfully with each other) but I won't turn in another season of dissapointment for the fans of Nathan and Haley. Put Lucas and Peyton or Lucas and Brooke together so the drams ends. I don't care. And sve some time for great scenes of Nathan and Haley!

As much as I adore this couple, I won't stick around for another season of having them be trashed on it. Mark always talks about this journey, but he apparently doesn't realise that some of us actually wants this 'journey' to be bearable. I can smell disaster from afar, it just sad that the writers haven't taken advantage of the sizzling chemistry there is between Joy and James. It is undeniable how well they work opposite each other, one look between them can make up for the horrible dialogue and the actions that makes one want to gag one self with a spoon.

And I love that NH/James and Joy are in company with all these amazing people listed.

Season 3 is best.I love the innocence of season 1 for naley, but season 3 is pure love.No one can touch the JL's fantastic chemistry.I'm glad they are being recognized for it and not just by people who know and love them.Suck on that haters.If it wasn't for NH/JJ most people I know wouldn't even bother watching at all.The show would've been off air seasons ago.Now I hope that Mark will take heed and give fans what they deserve instead of crap. We're sick of it!Give us a fabulous season 6 after enduring the crap of season 4&5.I'm starting a campaign for naley fans, Camp Killa Skank!

I only watch for Nathan and Haley and James and Joy(as Mark said) are lightening in a bottle. They are pure gold. I just wish he'd use that gold instead having slut after slut going after Nathan. Geez theyve been married for 7 years with a son, let them be freakin happy and give them storylines not focused on tearing at their marriage.

They are pure love and I want to see some more love scenes with these two. Best chemistry MARK! USE IT!

Season 1 is the best season of the show, but Season 3 is the best Nathan/Haley season. It's also the only season that doesn't really feature a third party. Sure, Chris came back...but he was only there to help them get back together. It was a truly a great season for them and really the last time we got to see them so intimate and well-written. I wish Mark would go back and watch that season. It is possible to be married and sexy!

Season 4 and 5 were wastes. They should have just left Haley on the bridge. At least the closing shot would have been about NH and their love...which is the only reason I watch this show anymore.

If I don't hear any good things about Season 6 for NH/NHJ, I won't bother tuning in as Prison Break and Heroes are on opposite OTH.


Boo: It's Season 6. They're married and have a child. Get over it already.

Well. I still don't see it. I've been hating Naley since the first time they got together. Ugh!

i basically watch OTH for naley, and thats why season 5 was pretty ordinary coz nothing special or emotive happened for them.
JAME and JOY r the best character!!!
i voted season 4 coz eveything from the end of the wedding crash to the baby was perfect naley love, drama and cheers!!

Season 3 is def the best season for Naley, just ask any fan!

So many great moments, but James and Joy
just have that undeniable chemistry!

Do you think mark will now wake up and realise how lucky he is to have Joy/James and will start giving them better material to work with in season 6 and not just thrid party storylines.

I voted s3 because they showed how their love was stronger than angst,disappointment and pride

Yay for their recognition. Naley are the best thing on this show, imo.

whyyyy in the world are jensen and jared not on that list?? funny...

I love Naley! S3 and S1 have the best storylines for Naley. I love the S3 scene where Naley kiss in the storm~~~Classic! Naley's love scenes always have something to do with rain.

James and Bethany are great together!

It’s too hard to choose which naley season is my favorite.
S1 was old school Naley with their first date, kiss, fight, and all the tutoring. It was all so cute and definitely has a lot of my favorite naley moments.

S2. Lots of people hate it because Naley were separated but I loved watching them in that season. It was drama and angst and I love watching that. Plus they had adorable flashbacks and few cute episodes before all drama started. Also when they separated, they hadn't been established as this "always and forever" couple so there was reason for you to actually think that they may break up especially since they got married so soon.

I chose S3 because it had a little bit of both. It had the angst in the beginning and a whole lot of cheesiness to make up for the angst during the 2nd half.

S4 and S5 were also great but not favorites for the naley storylines. They weren't bad but every time they fight you know they're going to make up.

YAY for Naley!

Jackson Brundage also got a win this week ("the overwhelming winner"! TV Guide named him TV's cutest kid!
