Familiar faces will be missing from One Tree Hill

When One Tree Hill returns in the fall it will be missing two familiar faces. The public relations office for the show confirms that Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton will not be returning as Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer-Scott. Both have been on the show since it premiered in 2003.

The PR office would not elaborate on why the actors won’t be returning to One Tree Hill.

Even though she won’t be part of the cast anymore, Hilarie Burton may be sticking around Wilmington. She is one of the creators of Southern Gothic Productions, a local production company.
