Chad Michael Murray Axed From One Tree Hill
Costars Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton, who tied the knot during last night’s episode of One Tree Hill, will not be returning for the show’s seventh season, EW confirms.
Translation: The CW could not afford to keep newlyweds Peyton and Lucas on their payroll.
Two new characters will be introduced next season and Jake Gyllenhaal’s BFF Austin Nichols (Julian) will become a series regular.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of CMM and HB leaving OTH?

is not fair .. not .. OTH has the same view that The OC so ridiculous .. will end the series and certainly with the large audience that has .. not to believe it ¬ ¬
I love one tree hill but Chad is like the main character… it won’t work :(
Wish they’d just finished the show now - OTH without Chad is doomed to fail. He’s the main cast member and definitely the best actor on the show.
The show will survive without Chad and Hillarie 90120 did without Brenda and later without Brandon so I’m not worried. As long and Nathan and Haley gets good storyline I’m good I only watch the show for them anyways.
replacing chad michael furry w/ austin nichol`ass?! hahahaha.. he has a fan base of fcuking ZER0 - fcuking ridicules.
i can’t believe they are leaving, i love them so much. oth wont be the same without them, im upset
I hate LEYTON a full! I don’t think about If this show lose ratings b/c they’re leaving the show. This tv serie have a lot of Naley fans, and the people loves Brooke so much too. I hate CMM since always, and is true, that the 5, 6 seasons are boring, but.. why? Because are ALL LEYTON.
I was thinking, what this show would be named (seasons 5,6) LEYTON HILL, not one tree hill.
Naley and Brooke are no boring! But Mark wants to have a Naley-marriage only. To be booring, If Nate had the fight, If Haley’s not teacher anymore. Is not fair. They need to have more action!
JJ you piss me off so much when you give spoilers away! people in england haven’t watched this yet and you’ve just told us luke and peyton get married! cheers for that one!
the least you could do is put spoiler or something b4 it!!!!!!!
Go Sophia Bethany James Austin YOU are a new OTH i thinks the show will be better
Chad needs to go. He isn’t that good of an actor and is extremely cocky! I like Hilarie though and would rather see Austin Nichols than Chad anyways. Maybe I will watch next season.
Noooo! The show won’t be the same without two main characters :(
i’ve never been interested in this show
but i think that if chad’s not in it, 7th season is most likely to be the final one because it will probably suck.
Well, they kind of got a happy end, sort of. We’ll see next week if Peyton survives. But I don’t think so. My guess is that Peyton dies, and Lucas follows his mum with the baby.
I think it’s bad for the show that Chad and Hilarie are leaving. According to a video posted on Hilarie’s blog she said she left out of free will (if I remember correctly).
I didn’t hear from Chad if he wanted to go. It just seems strange. He gave up his role on Gilmore Girls for OTH. Why leave? Maybe he really doesn’t want to play Lucas anymore, that’s fine by me. But if he was forced out, ie for money issues, that’s not ok. I mean he really is the main character if you look back on 6 years.
On the other side, a few shows survived losing their lead character, like Charmed lost Shannen Doherty (but she actually got replaced by another). Thinking about it, doesn’t Jullian look a little like Lucas?!
i thought Bethany was going too, you know, always saying she’s missing her real-life husband. Looks like to me she stays for another season, maybe getting a bit more money for staying?
Coming to an end, I hope the show doesn’t drown. It should have an appropriate ending for beeing on air for 7 (or maybe more years)! And who knows, maybe both of them guest star (or just Lucas if Peyton dies ;)
like when mischa left the oc
Me too. I like more Austin/Julian than CMM/Lucas.
I hope that the next season will be more interesting. I hate all that stuff about to be adults. This show needs more action, drama and be more funnier now! With Leyton all was drama. Always.
I mean, this group is young and they have lives like If they have 50 years.
I’d like to say..for those of you who are not fans of the show and haven’t seen it in ages….why are you even commenting on this subject? Why are you wasting your time? - Anyways, I agree with most about just ending the show. It won’t be the same without Luke and Peyton. Ive been watching the show since Season 1 and Chad has always been the main character since the beginning. It’ll ruin everything!
idc what anyone says, without luke and p. sawyer practically make the show….like i cant even imagine watching one episode w/o them in it. idk, hopefully this is just a rumor, but if this is true, they should end the show with everyone leaving. but who knows? maybe even w/ L&P gone, the show may still be a hit.
Can’t wait. I hate them both.
No, I don’t want them to leave the show. They are one of the cutest couples. It won’t be the same without them!
WTH!!!! ill stop watching one tree hill if thats the case. this suckssss!
i think this news is bitter sweet.
i love chads character, but hilarie’s is too needy since the beginning it was suppose to be chad and sophia together at least on the show but after thier divorce they cut them off completely and now the barely speak.
So glad Austin is a regular,don’t care at all for Chad cause he wanted to leave and then he tried to convince fans CW didn’t want him back but I am sad for Hilarie cause she really loves this show.
Hey if they want to leave let them! I admit I was sad at first, but their story is basically finished. I wish them both the best. I am happy about Austin though because I adore him. I wonder what the 2 new characters are going to be like. Oh well may they find other projects that they like. This show wasn’t only about them.
Well I think its safe to say that the show will SUCK withou these two. But I’m happy. After next weeks eppi I can officially wach my hands with this show. 6 years has been long enough. & if CW where smart enough, they would’ve known it would’ve been a wise choice to end it after this season. The show run its course.
I couldn’t care less. Have never watched the show.
