The bitch who uttered so many catty One Tree Hill quotes is so back.

Danneel Harris has closed a deal to reprise her role as pot-stirrer Rachel Gatina in at least seven episodes this fall, beginning with the second episode of Season 7.

Harris made her Tree Hill debut as Brooke Davis' high school nemesis in the show's third season but wasn't made a series regular until One Tree Hill's fourth season.

She was written out in the fifth season of the show after appearing in only a handful of those episodes, an apparent victim of the show's four-year flash forward.

In other One Tree Hill news, the last of next season's new contract roles has gone to 90210 grad Jana Kramer, who will play Alexis, a model for Brooke's clothing line.

As previously reported, Robert Buckley and relative newcomer Shantel VanSanten are also joining the cast as Nathan's sports agent and Haley's sister respectively.
