Former Lipstick Jungle hunk Robert Buckley will replace recently ousted Chad Michael Murray in the CW series One Tree Hill.
According to THR, Buckley will play Clayton, a brash young sports agent who represents Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) and has become a close friend, ally, business partner and advisor to him while also enjoying the spoils that come from being a wealthy, handsome single guy.
Buckley filled in for Brian Austin Green, whose deal for the role fell through.
Hilarie Burton spoke to EW about Monday’s season finale of One Tree Hill (her and Chad Michael Murray’s last episode). Here’s a snippet of the interview:
Have you spoken to Chad recently? I was in L.A. last week and we talked. Chad and I are good friends. I won’t speak for him, but it was not a rash decision on either of our parts. He’s very compassionate toward the show and the fans. It’s not an easy decision, but we’ve got to be grown-ups sometimes. [CMM's rep declined an interview request, saying, "Chad is no longer on the show and has no comment regarding the new season."]
What was your last day on the set like? We wrapped together. We were the last two in the last scene, and we opened up a tab across the street for our crew to say thank you and cried a bunch.
The OTH season finale (”Remember Me As a Time of Day”) airs on Monday, May 18 @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
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?
Sophia Bush and rumored boyfriend James Lafferty, both co-stars on One Tree Hill, arrive together at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Monday.
The couple patiently waited for their luggage and for Sophia’s one-eyed pit bull, Patch, to arrive so she could load him into her car.
Late last month, Sophia, 25, and James, 22, were supposedly looking cozy in a corner at NYC’s Meatpacking hotspot 1Oak with her hand on his thigh.
Could this be another One Tree Hill real-life romance? (Sophia and co-star Chad Michael Murray were once upon a time married.)

Bethany Joy Lenz (or is it Bethany Joy Galeotti now?), star of the hit WB (soon-to-be CW Network) TV show, One Tree Hill, took over Intuition as she went on a little shopping spree. She didn’t seem to mind the cameras much as she held a coffee in one hand and clothes in the other while smiling and posing inside the store.
Anybody know what the tattoo on her right foot is of exactly? The tattoo on her right foot says "Beloved" and is accompanied by a picture of a hummingbird.
Bethany Joy Lenz will be back on TV this coming September as Haley James Scott when One Tree Hill moves to Wednesday at 9pm EST on the CW Network. See the CW commercial for the show below.
