Will Chad Murray and Hilarie Burton Return for Final Season of One Tree Hill?
One Tree Hill is not included on The CW's fall schedule. That's because the drama will return in January with its final run of 13 episodes.
But network bosses have news that might soften this blow for fans: Chad Murray and Hilarie Burton could very well appear on season nine at some point.
“[New CW boss] Mark Pedowitz is going to talk with them,” outgoing preisdent Dawn Ostroff told TV Line at the Upfronts. “I don’t think anything has been done yet, but now that everybody knows that this is the final 13 episodes... ”
“... that makes it more possible as far as cast members coming back,” Pedowitz jumped in.
Let's all hope the former and upcoming head honchos are correct, shall we?

definitely chad and hilary should come back,this the ending season for the entire run...they should be part of it,they should insist to be part of it...its where they came from...and i think it will not give any harm if for the last time they will be part of OTH....As they say...to be able to go forward in life..one should not forget to look back where one came from...."

Peyton & Lucas are the greatest love story ever told... if they don't come back for the last season i will be very disappoited. But i have this gut feeling they will, they know their fans love them. I'm very sad to see this show end but i can say i have learned so many things because of these special characters.

HELL YEAH of course we want to see Leyton back the whole point of OTH was about the 2 brothers.
May 24th, 2011 11:41 PM
the show isn't soley about Leyton, why the hell are we harping on about them still. OTH has survived and grown for 2 seasons already. Leyton got their happy ending which was nice i must say but frankly i loved Naley and Brulian since the beginning and there are other characters out there, new ones, old ones which could stand up and be explored in season 9. Let's just say I won't be disappointed if Leyton doesn't make an appearance next season.
