Yesterday's revelation that unhappy star Chad Michael Murray (Luke) has not been asked back to One Tree Hill's upcoming seventh season rattled the CW series' fans.

Should this One Tree Hill spoiler be believed, and if so, is there a chance it may then be reversed and Murray brought back to the cast next season after all?

Here's E! Online's latest take on the subject ...

Q: Can you shed any light on this hectic One Tree Hill situation?

A: Despite Chad Michael Murray's claim that, "They haven't even called me up to say, 'Hey we want you back... nothing,'" CMM's people are in negotiations with One Tree Hill execs.

Sounds like we can brace ourselves for a cliffhanger ending to season six.
