Joanne Leone Johansson did not play anyone on One Tree Hill. She was Paul Johansson’s mother, who passed away on October 14, 2011 after a twenty year battle with cancer.
Paul plays Dan Scott on the program and also directed 14 of the episodes. The One Tree Hill episode “Danny Boy” was dedicated in her honor, as she passed away during the shooting. It was episode 11 of season 9 and originally aired on March 21, 2012.
Even though the show was cancelled after its 9th season (April 4, 2012), some people are still showing the love.
Of interest, Paul is starring in a thriller called The Winner 3D out in theaters on October 20, 2013. He plays a detective in the drama Kid Cannabis also due in theaters in 2013. Currently, Paul is busy filming Stonados, a made-for-television Sci-fi flick.
