Noah Middleman

Noah Middleman is a graduate of Tree Hill High School having transferred there along with the rest of The Bling Ring during his sophomore year, a main character and a major antihero. Noah is initially shown to be an aggressive and ruthless drug dealer looking to score cash any way he can. His only motive is to impress his leader Amber, gain her trust, and move up in The Bling Ring ladder. As he began to branch out to selling during school, he gained enemies in his ex Taylor, and her boyfriend Milo. His quest to gain notoriety continued to make bounds by making fierce enemies out of Brooke Keller and Jackson Scott, the former he sold drugs too and the latter he beat to a bloody pulp. His antagonistic nature began to dwindle after two of his friends brought guns and knives to school, looking to recreate the infamous Tree Hill school shooting. Realizing his life isn't going anywhere, he decides to It is revealed that he came from a broken home and bounced around foster care, until he found a home with The Bling Ring. After this development, Noah was upgraded to a series regular until his ultimate 'death' in Season 9. He was presumably killed in a car crash during the 9 midseason finale.

His ultimate death brought the awareness of texting and driving to the for front. But, in reality as revealed in Legacies with his return to Tree Hill, he faked his death with the help of Kirk, Jude, and Avery as way to get out of the Bling Ring and live his life the way he wanted too away from the toxic atmosphere the group brings. His return came at a devastating loss as Kirk dies in his arms, which isn't revealed until Season 3. His return also came with a great reception for the character as a great way to trick the audience and gain redemption.

Noah, despite faking his own death, feels very close to death: he held his best friend Kirk in his arms as he died from a stab wound, he found his friend Leo dead from a seizure, he watched his childhood best friend Trevor die from bleeding in his stomach, he almost lost his then-girlfriend Grace after being impaled by a sword, and he almost lost his current attraction Avery to cancer.

After losing most of the people he loved, he realized he'll always love Grace and wants to be with her. They sleep together and find out she's pregnant.

Noah is best friends with the late Kirk Carson, Avery Pettington, Grace McFadden, Paige Collins, former enemy Jude Baker, Jasper Cunningham, and Cody Cross. He is rivals with Nathan Smith, Harper Torres, Xander Russell, and Maya Hall. He had intense conflicts with Brooke Keller, Jackson Scott, Taylor Scott, Milo Adams, but has ended them all. He is currently enemies with Calvin Richards, Davis Baker, David Prince, Dylan Harris, Andrew Watkins, and Lucas McFadden.
