Season 7 without Chad???

OTHfans.com has the exclusive news... that the CW has given the approval for One Tree Hill to have a 7th season. But will the entire cast be returning? No says a very close source to the show. Chad Michael Murray will not return for the new season. The source says Chad decided not to renew his contract because he is ready to move on to more roles in movies.

How will this affect the show? It will be an interesting One Tree Hill without it's main cast member.

UPDATE:
I wanted to post that we are getting e-mails from the producers of OTH denying what is reported here. They state that "... No decisions have been made and negotiations with the actors, including Chad, have just begun. The network has not ordered a seventh season and the studio is in early negotiation stages with the actors just in case the network decides to bring us back, in other words, NOTHING has been determined yet." With that stated, I can only go by what sources say since I am not part of the negotiation process. I do not work for the show and I do not work for the Network. Therefore I do not know FIRST HAND what is going on. The original source is VERY VERY close to the show, but is not a producer or a Network employee. I can not release who the source is, however, I have complete 100% trust in what they are reporting. And I feel that the producers are simply doing damage control. Think what you want for now, but in time, we will find out from the OFFICIAL sources, and I am willing to bet it will confirm the original report that Chad will not be returning if they decide to do a 7th season.

You will only find this information at OTHfans.com!!! If found elsewhere, credit MUST be given to OTHfans.com
