Chad Michael Murray, who played basketballer-turned novel writer Lucas Scott, turned down season seven. So did Hilarie Burton, who plays Lucas¡¯ moody music producer wife, Peyton Sawyer.
With ¡°Leyton¡± (as fans called the Lucas and Peyton love duo) gone, the show has a few holes to fill.
¡°Entertainment Weekly¡± reported that Brian Austin Green, a former ¡°Sarah Connor Chronicles¡± star, wa sin talks to step in as a Jerry Maguire-esque sports agent named Clayton. That deal fell through late last week and ¡°Lipstick Jungle¡± hottie Robert Buckley signed on for the Clayton role.
Two other new roles are on the way: Quinn, the heartbroken older sister of teacher/musician Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), and Alexis, a party girl and model for Clothes Over Bros. Fresh actors aren¡¯t going to be the only new scenery on the Hill, though.
