And we thought next week's Life Unexpected/One Tree Hill crossover episode was exciting news...

According to a reliable E! News source, Chad Michael Murrayand Hilarie Burton will likely make an appearance on One Tree Hill this season.

The two were originally scheduled to bring Lucas and Peyton back to town for Brooke's wedding, but they may actually show up later in the season now that The CW has ordered six additional episodes of the series.

"If schedules don't work [for Brooke's wedding], maybe we'll bring back Chad and Hilarie at a later date," Mark Schwahn said. "If we get a full season maybe at the end of the journey, but those two characters are a big part of this world. We've talked about it, and there seems to be interest from all sides."

Need we even ask if this is something you'd like to see, fans?
