Chris Keller was first introduced in Season 2 as a music record store owner. He was approched by
Peyton Sawyer to sing at the Tric Club, but refused to sing when he saw people weren't listening, promptingHaley James Scott to sing instead. He then began a partnership with Haley to give her an opportunity to realize her dream and become a singer. They become closer and closer and even kissed but Haley eventually turned him down when he asked her to go on a tour with him, as she wanted to save her marriage. He later came back, along withThe Wreckers at Tric and asked Haley again, this time she agreed. To promote the tour, the two were mistaken for a couple, which pleased Chris, but angered both Haley andNathan Scott . Nathan visited Haley on tour to mend any broken hearts and feelings, only to discover she wasn't wearing her wedding band. Nathan drew up annulment papers, signed them and sent them to Haley, who was still on the tour. Once Haley got the annulment papers signed by Nathan, she dropped the Tour and went back to Tree Hill.eason 3
Chris returned in Season 3 to help Haley find her inspiration back as Nathan paid him for it.
Dan Scott paid him as well, but it was to seduce Haley. However, when he was chosen byBrooke Davis during the fantasy boy draft (whichRachel Gatina had planned to make her way to Lucas), he had a drunken one night stand with her. He then had money troubles and had to ask Nathan for help. They stole money from a poker table but ended up in water, making this a complete failure. Chris sold his guitar to pay for Haley's record and then departed to parts unknown.eason 4
In Season 4 episode 10, he is seen on a poster, revealing that he is doing a new tour. His spot at the record store has been secured by Max (cameo by series creator
Mark Schwahn ), who unlike Chris, is a friend of Peyton's.He also appears in "
It Gets the Worst at Night ". While on the search for Mouth; Lucas, Peyton, Brooke, Nathan, Haley and Skills are stranded after their car breaks down. Chris Keller's tour bus appears and helps the group make it to Texas to help Mouth. Chris then crashes Honey Grove's prom with the gang and spends sometime talking with Brooke, telling her he is lonely (something he also alluded to when talking to Nathan on the tour bus previously). Chris then left Honey Grove to continue his tour but not before claiming that "Chris Keller's work here is done."
