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?

My two most hated people are leaving this show, so I for one, am thrilled. I hate them both so its all good. Plus, no more Leyton aka Pucas so thats definitely great.
The reason the writing has been so horrible for the past two seasons is because of all this LP shittt nonstop. First you have Peytons whiny asss chase Lucas all of season 5 and now season 6, all you see is them be corny and gag worthy every time the show comes on. So it’s a relief that they’re both gone.
OTH rankings have been bad since season 4 and only got worse and this LP crap that Mark wouldn’t let go of is mostly to blame.
Hopefully he’ll focus on more interesting couples this time around.
im never watching again.
they so shoulda ended it after season 5.
why would they leave?
i dont mind peyton but lucas??? wthh!
its like lauren leaving the hillss!
WHATS GOING ON WITH THIS WORLLD!!??!!
WHAAT!
how can this happen?!!
Are you kidding me? They pretty much make up the show. Personally I find Haley and Nate to be quite boring, but I do love Brooke’s character.
This is lame, and I don’t know if I can watch the next season :/
i think its really unfortunate that hil and chad are not returning for season 7 but, the rest of the cast will be back. the show is great and i think it can continue to be great in season 7 without lucas and peyton being there. chad and hil will always be a big part of the show but, the show has great writing and other great characters that can carry the show and continue its success. i personally love LP but, id really like to see a more interesting storyline for NH, more Brulian and much much more Mouth and Millicent <3
im a true OTH fan and will continue to support the show no matter what
Oh yeah because it’s so more interesting to see Brooke cry and whine over guys. Oh wait they always have to fight for her when they do not owe her one god damn thing. Also, I don’t think being on a leash and praising her for her two amazing side (her front and back are worth watching). Then there is NH. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ if Mark can’t write them now what makes you think he can write them better in s7..give me a break.
this is the best news ever.
OTH is such crap now i can’t blame them for leaving. and people acting like they would never leave a job over money is crap too.
good for chad and hil.
i for one will NOT be watching. i would rather shove ice picks in my eyes then see a s7
haha later *******
Honestly.. i lucas and peyton… even though i’m team Brooke.
But this season.. their storylines are just plain. Zzzz…. to a point where it kinda doesn’t make me want to watch the show anymore.
Them hooking up was a BAD IDEA.. sure it was great for the leyton lovers out there,, but SERIOUSLY! where is all the drama?!
So for that fact, them 2 leaving the show would be better off. Maybe Julien can spice things up, his character has been made out to be more interesting.
WTF. HELL NO!
the show basically surrounds around him lol
the show will be better without them
good, lucas sucks now anyway.
…kinda bummed to see p sawyer go tho :/
new characters arent necessary- they better not be annoying.
This Sucks!
Yeah not seeing how this show can be better without these two..when the show was created around the character of Lucas…but yeah I guess some can believe that this crappy show will survive two major loses………..Yeah still CAN’T imagine OTH being better with 3out of the core 5 there. I bet Dawn the president of the CW is probabaly celebrating her victory I mean defeat. Because OTH is going to FAIL and then hopefully this network will too or better yet maybe DAWN will be fired because she sucks at her job!
Chad/Hil you guys pwn all! Best of luck in your futures. You two deserve better than this crazy fandom. Meaning the haters who are loving this when in reality I bet Chad/Hil could care less more so Chad but still….they know they have real fans and not some obessed OTH fans who can’t get over the fact that these two and Behtany are the only ones that can hold there own on this lazy ass writing.
I’m sad. They’re my favorite characters. I won’t watch the show anymore.
I can’t stand brooke ‘I sleep with everyone’ davis!
Ummm Len-I think you are forgetting that this OTH ratings have tanked since s3 not s4…You do remember that OTH was almost not renewed in s3 right? Also, I am pretty sure that in s3 when the rating were tanking that LP were not together……hmmmmm interesting yeah this show raitings have nothing to do with weather LP are together or not but you know there is always the remote to you know change the channel no once forced people to watch OTH even if the writing does suck, but atlas with two major characters gone there is no way OTH will survive.
WTF?! chad’s like the MAIN character! how can they axe him?! this is ridiculous! i cudn’t care less for hilarie to be honest lmao. im happy julian is becoming a series regular. LOVEE HIM and brooke :)
I can care less about Lucas, he was dead to me after the 2nd season.
On the other hand with Peyton, if she’s out, who’s gonna be mgr for Mila? And what about tric?? That part doesn’t make sense to me- and I agree no more Peyton/Brooke moments. =(
OMG! there is no sence to continue the show,when there won`t be Lucas and Peyton(cause they are the main characters in OTH)..and to creat 7 season -what for(if the 6 season was toooo boring…)
So long Douche Squint and ***** Bug Eyes.
They’re the 2 main characters (1st and 3rd billed respectively). i can’t imagine the show without them..so i don’t think i’ll be watching next season.
I agree, Julian is very hot and they made the right choice by keeping him as a regular. However, they should have just made season 6 the series finale if they don’t sign Chad and Hilarie. It would have been a perfect ending if Peyton gives birth and lives; Brooke hooks up with Julian; Sam comes back to live with Brooke; Hayley and Nathan has another kid. Of course I would love to see OTH grow to season 7 but without Lucas and Peyton, cmon, get real here, it’s OTH and Lucas is the main character!
@Cali:
Good for you. I hope you have fun sticking ice picks in your eyes. Especially seeing as how I know MANY people who would love to see that happen.
At least James, Joy and Sophia didn’t make dumb ass videos. I will watch this show to the very end.
