Confirmed: Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton Exit 'One Tree Hill'

The CW has given a nod to the departures of two actors playing Lucas and Peyton on 'One Tree Hill', and said that 2 new cast will be introduced in the seventh season.

The media have been reporting that Chad Michael Murray is a goner from "One Tree Hill" but apparently one more is leaving the show. His on-screen wife, Peyton, is not included in the next season's story and thus Hilarie Burton is also out from the picture.

The CW has confirmed the departures of the two actors to several media outlets, but no formal reason has been given. The characters got married on the Monday, May 11 episode but pregnant Peyton is wheeled to the ER on the next week's episode. Fans of the show will be able to watch Chad and Hilarie, who have been in the show for 6 years, for the last time on the season finale that airs May 18.

Additionally, The CW said that they will compensate the loss with two new characters, which details have not been elaborated further. Austin Nichols, who plays Julian, is also promoted as a regular.

The rumors of Chad and Hilarie leaving the show erupted for the first time in late February when Hilarie posted an emotional video message to fans, saying "...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."

Few weeks later Chad, captured by a fan's video during autograph signing, said "They don't want me. I'm not joking" before then encouraging that fans "should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that." Although involved in a negotiation later on, Chad mentioned that the show wanted to save money.

Peyton and Lucas were the best they were the biggest part of the show I love Nathan, Haley, and Brooke but Peyton and Lucas was my favorite, they should have ended it in season 6 if they wern't going to have them back in it. i still watch the show hoping that they will guest star im seriously depressed though Peyton Sawyer is my all time favorite character of all time.

I watched OTH everyday when the show first came out. And chad was my favorite character because he is soo... hot and sweet. He is a wonderful actor. Chad made the show. I liked peyton but her character was a little to depressing but her characer portrayed a lot of real teenage feelings. the old episodes were more realistic. I hate when shows get rid of the main characters. i only watch OTH when im bored and there is nothing else to watch. We miss you chad and Hiliary you were the hearts of the show...

I'm from england, and a huge one tree hill fan, i've watched it from the very beginning right up to the current series. It's my favourite series but i have to be honest it is losing alot of the things that made me love it, the show's best characters like lucas, peyton, karen, keith, whitey are gone. the original and the best characters i feel. along with this there is the absense of the theme tune by gavin degraw, 'i don't want to be' and the quotes from books that i loved to hear, mostly told by lucas, ;/ there was always a moral to the story. there was such good actors. now it feels there is drama for the sake of drama rather than real good acting and story. i'm really disappointed, i think now that if one tree hill ends up finishing it will be because mark schwahn killed his own program, as he became tight fisted and didn't appreciate who the real talent was behind the show. in all honesty the show would have been nothing without chad michael murray and hilarie burton to begin with. and i like many other farms tune in alot less now because of the choice to not have both characters back on the show.

Well everyone basically said what i was goin to say. I thinkn you get it. You guys are total JACKASSES for taking Hilarie and Chad out! They ARE Tree Hill. You cant go on without them. And also wat about Karen??? She was the wise one who helped everyone out. Im still gonna watch OTH for the rest of the cast that i love. But it will never be the same without a Peyton or Lucas. PUT THEM BACK IN! I sit there and watch OTH at least 20 episodes a day. ONce i get done with all the seasons, I start over. I've always wished I could have the perfect best friend as Lucas. And Peyton is my idol. I love her. I also love Jamie, Haley, Nathan, and Brooke. Sorry Dan. You killed Keith lol. I <3 Peyton+Lucas!!!!

posted by dariana183 on Dec 15, 2009
Okay as far as i am concerned they should have ended OTH after season 6. I refuse to even watch the 7th Season. The show is about brothers and basketball not only that i also aways felt that Lucas was the main character. So thank you idiots for ruining a good show by cutting the characters that helped make the show great, now it's just another hack show that nobody wants to watch. Should have known after the good place everyone was left at the end of the 6th season. End of rant by former fan

i have been watching this show FOREVER it seems and i loved it for so long and now i dont bother to watch it without chad and hilary, the story lines are pathetic and annoying, i want those two back... i won't watch the show again until that happens and if it doesn't happen then i see the last season ever made being season six.

I dont understand why the would even get rid of them to save buy thats the stupidest reason I ever heard I beat that they will be begging Lucas and hes wife to come back becuase if they dont the show is definetly going to end

It was a very dumb move on whoever got rid of lucas and payton!I wish Chad and Hillary the best of luck wherevethey go from here.Im always going to be a fan of them. And thank you for the years you were on one tree hill it wouldnt be what it or where it is today if you two were never there!Lots of love to hillary and chad it breaks my heart yall arent on the show anymore!=(

it kind of doesn't make sense to remove lucas and peyton from OTH.Without them,OTH is not worth watching.

Hey guys, I know you are all mad. Getting rid of the most important characters is really STUPID but has it ever occur to you that maybe they are really trying to end the show? Hilarie Burton is the reason I watch the show but now that it's gone, I don't care anymore. Anyway, there are other shows to watch. Leverage is awesome! Smallville is coming back. Heroes is back and I just found out that Gossip Girl is cool too. Most of all, NBA will be back soon!

I started watching this show because Chad was in it. Now that he is not in the show anymore I am not going to be watching it. I will just watch the seasons that he is in on soapnet instead. I think that the brothers really made the show with help from Payton, Brook and Halley. I think that this a sad day in television. I guess I will just have to find another show on a different channel to fill in this time slot for me to watch. I hear Heros and House are really good shows.

i was very upset when they announced chad michael murray and hilarie burton was leaving but after finding out the reason they are exiting the show,thats pathetic.they will be saving money all right, no one will want to buy the new season dvds, their ratings will go down for the show. and after watching mondays new episode i'm not all that interested anymore. good going...alot of fans are ticked now.
posted by OTH fanatic on Sep 15, 2009
Everyone I spoke to today said what a disappoint last nights season premiere was. To take Lucas and Peyton out of the picture after building their characters up so much on prior seasons is just the height of ludacracy. Want to save money?? Fire the exec who made that decision. You can bet this will probably be the end of OTH. The other characters (other than Sophia Bush) do not have the charisma to carry the show and even Sophia can't do it alone!!!
posted by always watching on Sep 15, 2009
This has got to be the stupidest decision OTH has ever made!! The exec who made this decision should be fired!! I watched the season premiere last night and sorry but it sucked!!! Lucas and Nathan are the basis of the whole story line. It just goes to show how the top execs know how to ruin a money maker. I would rather watch the old epiosodes on the Soap channel rather than watch this season. What a bunch of losers!
posted by oth is the next oc on Sep 15, 2009
probably the worst move you could do.. take away the lead characters.....if they were worried about saving money they blew that one too cause they are going to lose money because the ratings are just going to go down.... bring them back!

who the fuck write the two main fucking characters out of a show....i am soo pissed!!....one tree hill will never be the same again.....seeing lucas and peyton last episode was emotional for me....making us falling in love with this great couple then just breaking our hearts to never c them again way to c your damn ratings go dwon cuz i will never look must my time time looking at one tree hill again i love sophia bush so hopefully she is smart to leave to show while she can get work else where!!

Oh my god. what the hell are the producers thinking!?!?! I have every single season of One Tree Hill and have watched the show through and through BECAUSE of Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton's characters! They make up the show One Tree Hill and partly because of them, it has been my favourite show. This is possibly the worst thing that could happen to this show. I have no doubt in my mind that the show will go downhill from here, ultimately coming to an end and SOON. FML.
posted by Amanda on Sep 03, 2009
I enjoy watching all the characters of the show but I especially liked Lucas & Peyton. From season one eps.1 I was hooked just to see if they would end up together. I think the writers and producers killed the show with this move. I will not be tuning in everyweek anymore

The only reason I watch One Tree Hill is because of the characters Lucas and Peyton. No that they are gone, I'm not that sad because, I'm sure they'll appear on other show as they are good actors, but Im thankful that I don't have to buy or wait for One tree Hill anymore. Thank you, whoever decided to remove Lucas and Peyton.

This SUCKS! I cant believe the writers are taking the 2 MAIN characters off! The story is built around them. This happened to The OC whan they killed off Marissa and to That 70s Show when Eric AND Kelso left. Both those shows sucked afterward! Its just stupid to take the main characters away . Especially after the entire series is about how they love each other and NOW when they are acually together AND have a family they get pulled. WTF???

I've been following this great series since its very first episode, and I love watching it... I can't even imagine one three hill without Lucas and Peyton, I mean... They are one three hill. I'm reaaaally pissed, I don't even think I'm going to keep watching this... If they don't appear en season 7, for me season six finale was the last episode from one three hill, and I think that I'm not the only one... Just hope the guys from the network see all this comments

So ever since the beginning of this show it has been about Peyton and Lucas's struggle to be together. Even though they're married now shouldn't we as fans be entitled to know how little Sawyer grows up? And what about her parents? I for one will not continue with this series if they can't work something out to these two characters. The show has been built on them. As a fan, (as dumb as this may sound) I'm emotionally invested in these two. This sucks and this season is where it will end for me. At least I know that all the characters ended well with this season.

I am one of the OTH big fan in Thailand. I bought every season they sold in Thailand. Now, I missed the last 4 episodes of season 6 so I googled to see where could I find the remaining until I got into this blog. I don't want to believe that they killed Peyton and Lucas... The reason I watch this show is because all characters in this show are so damn perfect. I am heart broken when I found out that there is no longer Peyton and Lucas in the show !!!! I wish Lucas and Peyton read this and see how sad I am ... I love them and the show is not gonna be fun without this couple. Please bring them back, please.... Without them, I would rather watch something else like Gossip girl. I will not continue watching OTH without Peyton and Lucas...

Losing Peyton (Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray)Lucas are breaking up the family everyone has grown with and love. Its the worse thing the show could do. Add new people-new characters, but leave the heart of the show alone.

They ended it so happy and it makes u want to see their family next season but i gues thats not gonna happen. I'm still gonna watch it because of Brook. She's my favorite. But itll never be the same.

UGH i'm so irritated!

i wish the writer would actually sit here and read all of these comments that go up in regards to him having the two main characters leave. like they always say the fans are what makes these people without the fans watching you guys will save alot of money by not making anymore shows. what would OTH be without Lucas and Peyton. it honestly doesn't make any sense whatsoever for you to released them from the show. you guys have got to be joking with the fans. how do you expect us to sit here next year as you add two new people to replace them. there is no replacing them. no one can show the emotions that have come from both of the wonderful actor/actress. you need to listen to the fans... we make you what you are and the show. make the right decision and bring them back for the next season.

This is freaking ridiculous! I will seriously stop watching the show if they take Peyton and Lucas off. While Hilarie Burton is not my favourite actress of all time, the relationship between Lucas and Peyton is the entire point of the show. I can guarantee that this show will go under after one season if they remove Lucas' and Peyton's characters. Mark my words!

I was glad when they got back together, but i don't know why now that there back together they'll be gone from the shoW! i hope that they change their minds and do come out season 7!

i am so disappointed that this the episode this coming Monday is the last we will see of the famous "Leyton". After, we all have shared so much with these characters. I personally feel very connected to them. When I see Lucas and Peyton together I know that how they feel is how I want to feel. I want to love and be loved like them and I will not settle for anything less. I don't know how long I can watch the 7th season, if I can even watch it at all without them. They are the greatest on screen couple! How else can anyone explain why no other couple can make me cry all the time?! I cry when they are happy, sad, angry, or whatever! Just making a few points which others have also made. Taking away a few well paid actors may seem like a good idea at the time, but these actors are the foundation of the show. A lot of drama focuses around these two. Example, The O.C. killed Marissa off. That gave the show one more season, one more VERY POORLY RATED SEASON. Her and Ryan owned that show. They killed of 1 main character and look how badly they failed. Imagine if they would have killed off two. The show is based upon two brothers! TWO, not one! That is the shows description. There CANNOT BE one brother! WAKE UP CW!! The fans clearly want Lucas and Peyton to stay. As someone has already said, we make you all your money, so pay these actors what they deserve! We want Lucas and Peyton. Give us Lucas and Peyton and we will give you what you want- HIGH RATINGS! So many fans are swearing not to watch the 7th season, which is a shame, because OTH is the best show on at the moment. People really love them, they are affected by them, and taking them out of the show is like going through a really tough break up with a signifigant other. KEEP LUCAS and PEYTON!

There's only one episode left this season, how can they possibly wrap up peyton and lucas' exit so quickly. Because apparently neither of them dies.

Dont't do it!!!!!!!! Peyton and Lucas maske the show what it is, to get rid of them would be to get rid of the whole essence of OTH. I would not watch it without them... please change your minds!!!!!!!

I cant' believe they are doing this Peyton and Lucas are mostly the reason why people watch One Tree Hill. I love Peyton and Lucas so much they are the reason why I personally watch the show. My sister does not know about them leaving she will cry so much because she love Peyton and Lucas. And OMG I'm crying right now. Please bring them back for season 7 or the show will suck with out them. I love you Peyton and Lucas

PS...on my last note..why not just give us 1 last season with ALL THE CHARACTERS and end the show in style that makes sense to the viewers like the show FRIENDS! They had a hit show lasting like 10 seasons, you'd think they want the same for ONE TREE HILL!!
posted by ANNOYED on May 14, 2009
SERIOUSLY...I HONESTLY can’t believe that the departure of 2 main characters makes CW and the BIG WIGS of the show in control think they will save money!! Have they not learned from the mistakes of other past HIT SHOWS falling in RATINGS like the OC simply because 1 main character left?! The show failed so bad after being so highly ranked that it was forced to end, but to give satisfaction to the viewers summed up the end of what could’ve been a successful longer run of aired shows! How is it that you’re going to let 2 main characters that MAKE the SHOW a HIT leave!? The main purpose of the show is LUCAS and his story! Are the writers, producers, and directors forgetting this BIG PIECE!! I think so! I have a lack of faith in the HOLLYWOOD area these days because they want US, “the fans”, to be emotionally involved and give them ratings only for them to yank our chain and dump it down the drain!! I mean come on….we make you your money by watching…why not GIVE the fans what they want. Make a smart decision by tapping in to the wallets, pay the actors what they want and deserve, and keep the show going for obvious reasons…its AMAZING…WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS!!! I GUARENTEE this show will fall next season like the rest if they go forward with this unremarkably stupid decision!!

oh no that is not ok Payton and Lucas are part of the show if they are not on season 7 rating will drop im not going to watch. Why get them back together if they are not going to be on the show. the show wants to save money well they will loose money when ratings go down hill just watch.

I can't believe that they are making this huge mistake! Lucas Scott is One Tree Hill--in the older episodes, who do you see bouncing his basketball on the bridge? LUCAS. As for Peyton, it makes absolutely no sense to cut her out of the show either, Lucas and Peyton make the perfect couple and they are the reason I watch the show. They have been through so much and still surived through it all up to this point. If the producer/director of the show want more drama, then they have a lot more options other than getting rid of the two main characters. I agree with everyone who says the show will not make it without them and I will miss One Tree Hill when it had them as a part of it.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! All I have to say is that the director has NO idea what the fans want!! We obviously LOVE PEYTON AND LUCAS!!! They ARE ONE TREE HILL!! I'm not going to watch anymore after this last episode!! I'm so upset!! :( Way to ruin another great show! Peyton and Lucas forever <3

I have watched this show since the very beginning. It took the place of Dawson's Creek for me young couples trying to figure out where their lives were gonna go. And did you see them cut Dawson and Joey in the later seasons NO! Why in the world would they do it to this show? It just doesn't make sence. Please don't get rid of Lucas and Peyton
posted by collins on May 13, 2009
the show is going to loose meaning. the director should find ways of ending before they main actors leave.

leyton was and still is my favourite couple...there's no chance i'm going to see one tree hill again!!!oth is a story of two brothers...what happens if the one is gone???are they absolutely stupid to cut them?and if it is for economical reasons then why don't they cut smaller characters and they cut the protagonists???how stupid can they be?the show will lose hundreds of viewers...

if they are concerned about money they are about to lose alot with their fan base -- lucas & peyton are what makes one tree hill ONE TREE HILL

I am so upset! I will no longer watch! How can you cut out the STARS of the show!?
posted by Are you Serious? on May 13, 2009
Ok. I have watched this show for the past 6 years because of Payton and Lucas. They are the freaking show if you havent come to realize that? In all honesty... watching them two on the show has even given me advice in life situations. You could not ever possibly replace Hilarie and Chad with a different Peyton and Lucas, its wouldnt be the same and I can promie you that you will loose veiwers. We all fell in love with Peyton and Lucas. YOU CANT DO THAT!
posted by WTF?? on May 13, 2009
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Mark Schwan!... get Chad and Hilarie back before you lose all your money too.

posted by Janos on May 13, 2009
I'm so not watching he next season. These two characters are one treehill so they'll surely be nothin to watch.Just end the series already
posted by there goes one tree on May 13, 2009
Maybe we should write to Mark Schwan.... I hope he gets fired.
posted by there goes one tree on May 13, 2009
I will no longer watch the show. Why even tease us that peyton and Lucas are back together after the whole Lindsay ordeal. It's just STUPID. How are you going to save money?? You will lose money. A TON. Whoever came up with this plot is STUPID. Maybe you should hand it over to Peyton, so I can still watch the show.
posted by thatblows! on May 12, 2009
I love this show & everyone in it, but without lucas & peyton it wont be back for an 8th season. I really hate they are being writen out & it will be the most heartbreaking episode to have to sit through. I will continue to watch, but it definitley wont be the same... =/
