One Tree Hill star James Lafferty wants what every fan wants -- Lucas and Peyton (AKA Leyton) back on the show. The on-screen couple (played by Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton) were written off at the end of the sixth season, much to the fans' dismay.
Lafferty who plays Nathan, Lucas' half brother, told Zap2It that he would love to see them come back this season (Season 8 -- probably the last).
"I think that's what the fans want," he said. "They want
to see Lucas and Peyton come back one more time and they want to see
everybody together again. I think that's a healthy reward for the fans,
after watching for so long. At this point, eight seasons in, what I want
is to see the fans get what they want."
Agreed! I've been a Tree Hill dork fan since its inception and although I think the show has held up since their departure, it just isn't the same. It was rumored they would make an appearance in the much-anticipated
Brooke and Julian (Brulian) wedding, but creator Mark Schwahn says it
depends on their schedules.
Rumors circulated as to why they the duo left the show. Most say that Chad wanted more money and they didn't want to give it to him. And of course, Mark didn't want to break up the couple and ruin the show, so he let them both go -- a decision I can understand. Later, we found out that Hilarie was pregnant and secretly gave birth to a baby with a boyfriend we never knew she had, Jeffrey Dean Morgan! Ah, the drama! (And that doesn't even include the other major off-screen hookups!)
Here's the video a fan released back when Chad was campaigning to keep him on the show:
Do you think they will return to Tree Hill? Do you even want them to?
