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?

Hey!
You could have said spoilers in your title…..here in Quebec, Canada, we’d just finished season 5…. so i didn’t know Lucas was gonna married Peyton… thx man
SOOOO GLAD that Chad is leaving. All did he ever did was whine and so did his character. It was actually quite pathetic.
And FYI, Lucas and Peyton are NOT the main characters on the show. They are among the main ones-the top 5. But to say that they are the only main characters on the show is HILARIOUS.
:( i wish they weren’t leaving i love them both, but i will still watch it !
This is GREAT news. I couldn’t stand either one of them.
Haha, YAY. It’s about time.
I’m happy. They were the worst characters on the show. Maybe the show will finally be good again.
current season sucks anyway…..the 1st 4 seasons were awesome….nd he was the main lead character…
Whatever. The only reason CMM and Hilarie were let go was because they both demanded more money from the network. Especially Chad because his a$$ got too greedy. Hilarie wanted more money too but she was also let go because Chad didn’t want to come back. So I guess they didn’t know what to do with Peyton since Lucas was no longer going to be on the show. And now they’re both gone. If anything, fans of Hilarie/Peyton have no one but Chad to blame.
WTF! They are not gonna get anymore viewers anymore!
that is the most RIDICULOUS thing ever! how could you possibly continue oth without 2 of the main characters!? whoever made this final decision is cleary insane! you are going to lose SO many fans that you’ve carried on since the begining of the show! this show used to be so good and ever since season 5, its been horrible. I NEVER used to miss an episode ot oth and now in season 6, i really could careless if i miss 3 4 or 5 episodes in a row! the show is just getting stupid! it doesn’t even feel like oth anymore! i own every season on dvd but i refuse to buy season 5 and 6 because its so bad. well, congratulations cw, you offically just made it worse!
the show won’t be the same anymore
Not my favorite characters or couple on the show, but it will be weird without them. I love OTH but I don’t see it going past season 7.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhh now I have to stop watching :-(
but. they’re the life of the one tree hill story.
it’s always been peyton & lucas!!! THEY CAN’T LEAVE!!!!
I love them both. :( No more awesome quotes from Lucas & Peyton..
brooke is my fav anyway!
THANK THE HIGH HEAVEN Chad and Hilarie are getting out of this crapfest show. ONE TREE HILL IS GOING TO FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.Oh wait they will probabaly write more ST.Brooke you know because she is god and can do no wrong.. Ummm Haley will probabaly still be a prop to the two new characters that are going to be introduced (which sucks because Joy deserves so much more, she’s better than Sophia Bush) Nathan is still going to be whining over basketball. Mia/Chase will be the new Naley. Ummm Austin I love you but why the hell did you sign with this crapfest, don’t you know your just going to become Brooke’s ******. Oh wait your character has already bowed down before queen Brooke.
Spare me the details CW. Lies, Lies, Lies. Like I am to believe that Hilarie Burton wanted more money, give me a fcking break. Anyhoo it seems the CW is just trying to cover up themselves to look good, and making Chad/Hilarie look bad. Well SCREW THIS NETWORK, they are already on the verge of being shut down.
6 more days until I get to say peace out along with CH…. HATERS TO THE LEFT!!!!!
Thats really harsh! They’re on the show for 6 years, and then boom, theyre gone because they cant afford them? I feel sorry for CMM and HB. CW are stupid!
i love LOVE one tree hill! but after season 4, it kind of went down hill and it’s because of all those leyton moments. So annoying. Without CMM and Hilarie, it will go on, as it always has. Nathan/Haley carry a lot of the fans. All they have to do for season 7 is have some more naley seasons (like season 1/3).
P.S. Chad really sucks for abandoning OTH, i mean how greedy can you get?!!
GO NALEY :))
I LOVE YOU CHAD AND HILARIE. THANKS GOD YOU TWO ARE LEAVING BECAUSE YOU GUYS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS HALF ASS WRITING!
CW SUCKS. OTH S7 FAIL, and you can thank Dawn the president of the cw clearly she knows all the right things to do to get a show cancel. Which will happen to OTH.
No one is to blame except Chad. He wanted more money and because he didnt get what he wanted, Hilarie got fired and the show loses 2 of its main characters. Nice going *****.
OMG!!!!!!! one tree hill can NOT i mean NOT going without them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
they need lucas and peyton! it wouldnt make sence :( we need LEYTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we wanna see that baby grow up !!! I LOVE CMM and Hilarie Burton!
Get rid of these two douchebags at lastt. I couldn’t be happier. The show will go on.
Finally the show will get a breath of fresh air without these two ego maniacs. Austin Nichols is so hot.
Good luck to Chad and Hilarie I hope they get all the money they have been asking for somewhere else.
Good. I hate Peyton and Lucas together.
Maybe now they can focus on Brooke and Julian!!!!
