Chad Michael Murray has said it plain and bold, he's not coming back to "One Tree Hill" next year. Captured by fan's video while he's having some interacting session, he said "They don't want me. I'm not joking."
Although the subject of conversation is not yet clear, the actor who plays Lucas in the series dropped some statements including "See, this is what all the fans should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that. That's what they should do." He continued telling the bunch of fans taking pictures of him, "They're not bringing me back next year...because they want to save money."
He added that he was shooting the last scene at that moment but won't spill what kind of exit story that his character may have.
His shocking announcement is echoing Hilarie Burton's cryptic message last month when she posted a video blog saying that her contract has not been renewed. "I've had a really good run," Burton said, "and I wish I had creative control over the show, and I don't. But if I did, it would go on for a million years, and Peyton Sawyer would cry for you all the time - because she does that."
"One Tree Hill" has been ordered for a seventh season by The CW. Apart from being the actor, Chad has often directed and written for the episodes. However, there may still be hope of him coming back next season. E! Online wrote in its spoiler section that Chad's "people are in negotiations with the One Tree Hill studio."

Okay. Listen. This is show is NOTHING without them. This show IS lucas and peyton.there is no soul without them. they are both fantastic actors, and they can't leave this show. they aren't just leaving a show. They are leaving emptiness in the hearts on many who have loved it since "the pilot" please please please let this be a stunt. because lucas and peyton are the only two actors that ever brought TRUE emotion to this show and without them, it's emotionless, and useless and i can't even watch it. SO HEY CW, IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE LOSING MONEY THEN, I'M GOING TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STOP WATCHING THIS SHOW UNTIL YOU PUT THOSE TWO BACK ON IT. GOD DAMN. so dissapointed.
One Tree Hill is nothing without payton an lucas... One Tree Hill is Payton and Lucas, If they go away, they might as well change the name of the show and the whole people in it!!! There are some seriously stupid people!!! They will LOSE money!!! Oh Dear!!
no lucas :O it will be shit without him. he is the most interesting character. it will be borinmg without him. he is the hottest their. it wouldn't be the same without him. they should cancel one tree hill without him, i won't watch it with out him. he is the hottest guy there!!!!! DON'T TAKE HIM OUT OF ONE TREE HILL!!!!!!! IT WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD WITHOUT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS, BOYCOTT IT! BLOG ABOUT IT, REFUSE TO WATCH THE SHOW, LET THE WRITERS AND BIG SHOT PRODUCERS REALIZE THAT, IN THE END, ITS WHAT THE VIEWERS WANT. WITHOUT US, ITS JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH NO JOBS. WE CREATE THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM AND WE BRING IN THE MONEY. DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF OTH WITHOUT LEYTON? STAND THE HELL UP AND SAY SO! STARTING WITH YOUR ACTIONS. TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS NOT TO WATCH THIS SEASON. LET IT BE THE LOWEST RATINGS THEY'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is shit no chad. That sucks! Thats chad's show.... the show started with him as the main character.If He is out,then I am out! and you can't take PEYTON off cuz SHE LUCAS OTHER HALF and they need to keep both of them on the show.
lucas and peyton are the main ppl of OTH n we all wanna c sawyer grow up cuz it aint fair nathan and hailey r still on the god damn show and without payten and lucas the bottom line is the show is dead.
If the fans don't want you, and you are not joking, means that you are a selfish person and you only care about money. You made your career on OTH, you can't give up so easy!! No Chad NO OTH
fuck you I love Chad he is the best fucken thing that ever happened to the show I love your style Payton and love your drawing
I am really in love with chad thats the only reason I watch it so you need Chad and Peyton what is the show going to be about cause it will proubly be boring sorry I love love love you Chad
whats the point and maken season 7 NO1 WILL WATCH IT WITHOUT LUCAS AND PAYTON
GOODBYE OTH
I could care less about Peyton, and to be honest it'd be pretty belivable to have her die, but I will not watch the show without Lucas.
PLEASE DONT DO THIS!!!
NO ! I LOVE Lucas ! They cnt do that ! Urqh ! I hatee them , kill Off that Sinqer qirl Or Somethinq ! NOT LUCAS !
NO ! I LOVE Lucas ! They cnt do that ! Urqh ! I hatee them , kill Off that Sinqer qirl Or Somethinq ! NOT LUCAS !
NO ! I LOVE Lucas ! They cnt do that ! Urqh ! I hatee them , kill Off that Sinqer qirl Or Somethinq ! NOT LUCAS !
if they get read of the 2 i wont watch the show anymore there will be no point!!! i will be so pissed off!! if payton dies its still gunna kill the show! if she lives and has the baby it will make even more for the show!!! chad is an awesome actor and if they want to keep the viewers they better keep him in the show because i can bet millions of dollars would be lost if they dont let him be in season 7!!! so piss off who ever thinks they should be cut off the show!
Nooooooo, I'm gone die...
getting rid of the two best actors will lose you more money cause less people will watch. are you stupid to cut them ! ill miss both of them so much :[
Chad is amazing.he can't leave the show. it will not be the same, and i dont think ill watch it as much. it is going to be gay with out you Chad. :[
They need to quit being stupid and sign Chad and Hilarie for the next season. If they are worried about saving money that's just stupid...they are going to lose so much money and viewers if they cut them. Then if the show does survive another year, they'll probley end up paying them double when they have to beg them to come back before the show sinks.
I'm a friend of one of the main actress' husband. I can tell you now, season 7 is going to be brilliant. It might be the screen writers wanting to make its audience think this way. They've learned from the OC. I'm a personal friend of Hilarie, so I know what's happening, cant say anymore though.
There is no ONE TREE HILL without Chad Michael Murray and the main reason most people watch the show. I WILL NOT WATCH A 7TH SEASON OF MY FAVORITE SHOW WITHOUT HIM...but Peyton can go.
If no Chad or Hillary I will not watch the show. Yes I like the other Characters but Chad and Hillary is what make One Tree Hill!!!!!
I agree with all other comments,i think they are spot on! The show started with Chad and Hilarie and it should end with them IN IT. Now i know that along the seasons the other characters have developed and turned into people we love and enjoy watching in the show, but no Bethany Joy,James or Sophia could ever replace the Lucas and Peyton characters.there is no other way to say it.It's sad,but whatever reasons Chad and Hil may have for not renewing the contract, Mark Schwahn should be smart and end One Tree Hill with ALL its cast in it.
please, save money, what a bullshit. wHAT you should do is to get rid of some boring characters like, mouth, millicent and mia. sorry for the spelling i live i sweden, by the way if chad dosent returns the next season i will with every power i have, make people stop watching the greatest show ever! I mean without chad is just not worth it anymore.
First of all...Chad IS one tree hill! Second of all...if Chad leaves the show before the series ends, he'll just get a head start on his film career. He is AWESOME, GORGEOUS and TALENTED. He just needs to find a better agent so he gets the good movie roles he deserves. He could easily be the next Sean Penn. Plus he's as good if not better than Leonardo DiCaprio and get the same kind of roles he does.
get rid of chad(lucas) to save money, pleeease get rid of sophia(brooke) let her leave with julian.
if i were luke, i wouldn't want to comeback without peyton. he shouldn't be there if she's not because putting luke with someone else is unreal because of what he and peyton have or should i say had. u can't have one without the other. NO LUCAS AND PEYTON NO SHOW, think about it.
that's the sh.. i'm talking about. once u find something on t.v. u like the damn writer's always have to mess things up. NO LUCAS AND PEYTON u can SHUT THE SHOW DOWN because i'm not watching it.
omg are u serious. you're going to kill peyton and lucas is leaving to they're the only reason i enjoy watching the show. i luv the whole lucas and peyton story. u should keep them around and fast forward like before but this time peyton and lucas r married and have the baby. what type of writer's has a beatuiful luv story end in such tradegy? i think that's some bull.... and the show shouldn't come back for a 7th season because i'm not watching that STUPID ASS SH..
i don't think u should get rid of lucas or peyton, that's the only reason i watch the show. if they're out, then i'm out. the show would be pointless without them. do something to keep them or don't even comeback for another season.
This is so stupid! it isnt one tree hill without lucas & peyton, they're the core couple!! Leyton forever♥
keep chad he is so fit iv got pictures of him on my comp :p hes fukin minttt matteeee mmm...any day ;)
i seriously will not even watch the show if peyton & lucas are gone. what's the point?
he's been on this show for 6 years and has made his money, i think he is tryin to bring the show down just to say he was the main star and they couldn't continue without him
WHATTTTTTTTTT????? OTH WILL NO LONGER BE THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION.
Who the F*cKs bright idea is it to lose Lucas and Peyton?Who cares if he is hard to work with?bottom line is its one of the last great shows on t.v. and the producers are idiots to let it go on without them!!I mean what is the point to watch then? CW you have to realize that he brings the viewers.As does she.Get over the whole $ and contract thing.
Chad is a pain in the butt to work with! Not a nice person! Letting him go is the first smart move I have seen the producers make!
WAt the helll....nooo LUCAS HAS TO COME BACK TO ONE TREE HILL IT WONT BE THE SAME ILL CRY IF HE LEAVE HE MAKES THE SHOW AND PEYTON COME ON SHE LUCAS OTHER HALF THEY WERE MEANT TO BE WITH EACHOTHER IT FINALLY HAPPEND AND NOW THERE NOT GONA BE ON THE SHOW THASTS REALLY STUPID!!! BRING LUCAS AND PEYTON BACK!!!!!
ok so i just caught up on all of this, i thought they were just killing off peyton...but if they get rid of both luke/peyton that's the end of the show. The show started with them and I agree it must end with them. I also agree about the comment about the oc ending with the one girl left, I'm old enough to have watched the original 90210, and ya when Brenda left the show continued, but back then there werent that many choices on tv channels, and show's that had that same plot lines, now there are so many that if you take away the characters everyone loves, the show will not continue on. SO PLEASE KEEP EVERYONE!
Without Lucas and Peyton there is no one tree hill to watch.
I have been watching this show for years and the idea of no Lucas and Petyon is a horrible horrible idea. It's not the same one tree hill without lucas and peyton. If One Tree Hill loses Chad and Hilarie the show is going to lose a lot of viewers and then there goes the shows idea of saving money, they'll lose it on how many people quit watching.
Thats chad's show.... the show started with him as the main character and its not a show without him... they cant do that
I have been watching this show since day one..The main characters are Lucas Peyton Nathan Haley and Brooke.. Without any less than all of them the show won't last any longer..I am a die hard fan till the end but it won't be the same and many viewers will stop watching the show which will end up hurting the studio and show in the end..look at the OC when the one girl left, it got canceled shorty after that..it doesn't make sense to not bring back chad and hilarie..the show began with them two and that has to mean something..although i wouldn't like to see the show to end if it's going to end..at least keep them on till the end..it won't be one tree hill is the "one tree hill" family doesn't act as "ONE!" Team Tree Hill all the way Good Luck Hopefully it goes the way we'd like it to!!
if there is no more lucas then im done watching that show and this my fave!:(
Chad is the biggest jerk I've ever met. If only his character on screen would rub off on him.
wasn't burton some MTV girl before this?? she should be grateful that this show made her who she is...and murray um cheated on his wife sophia bush!! my fav character btw..if he can work with the wife he cheated on he can work for what they pay him
geezz, there's absolutely no sense in continuing the show without them! for 6 season, we all saw peyton and lucas together! i am very dissapointed and i truly hope this is not true because i cannot watch OTH without those 2
Chad should take what ever offer they give him. If he wants to stay on the show, but they r only willing to pay him so much he needs to take it. I don't think CMM realizes that without OTH his career is done.
NOOO THEY MUST STAY I LOVE OTH I DON"T WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW GO DOWN THE DRAIN DURING WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST SEASON!!!!! I'm actually crying right now I can't live without the whole cast of oth....please don't do this!!!!
they have to keep him on the show, 1. he's fricken HOTT..and i love that show with him and hilary both on there. The show wouldnt be the same without them...
ok the show must stop NOW! why is the cw renewing one tree hill without their best character(payton)??
No chad/lucas and hilarie/peyton,no one tree hill!The show will definitely sulk without them.If they are out,then I am out!
no chad or hilarie. what! that sucks. if they take them off. they are going to lose a lot of fans. i'm one of them. I love one tree hill it want be the same without them on there. why would they do that. to save more money. they would make more money if they had them. I think this so crazy. what are they thinking of. lucas and peyton are best part about one tree hill. everybodys going to miss them. they even going to lose money if nobody watches the show. please let them stay.
If they are taken off it will not be One Tree Hill anymore Lucas, Peyton, Nathan,Haley,Brook are what make One Tree Hill
they shouldnt get rid of them i only watch it because there in it they are best actors along with Bethany Joy as Hayley, James Lafferty as Nathan, and Sophia Bush as Brooke if too go thats it it wont be the same :(
they started the show with Lucas , which is in my opinion the ``heart`` of one tree hill.....and however they should end it with lucas, and not without him
I will never watch One Tree Hill again if Chad or Hilarie is not on the show you cannot pull out the main cast.
No Chad Michael Murray as Lucas or Hilarie Burton as Peyton = No One Tree Hill! Bottom Line. They are huge main characters in the show. Along with Bethany Joy as Hayley, James Lafferty as Nathan, and Sophia Bush as Brooke.
They Have to keep chad/lucas! it wont be one tree hill with out him and peyton!!!!!
