Chad Michael Murray

He has remained the narrator throughout though. I will look and see if I can find the article I read.

The second article makes it sound like Peyton is leaving too!

The internet is all aflutter with news that Chad Michael Murray is leaving One Tree Hill -- unless he's not -- and that the producers don't want him back -- unless they do, and this is all just a ploy to get a bigger paycheck. Ouch, our heads!
Here's the deal: A home-made video is making the rounds of Chad kibitzing with his loyal fans, telling them that he's not coming back to the show because the show doesn't want him because they don't want to spend the cash. We've got to say, we find this hard to believe. In what universe would the show not want one of it's star players back? Have we strayed into CrazyTown?

The media is similarly baffled. E!Online's spoiler chat reports that "CMM's people are in negotiations with the One Tree Hill studio," but elsewhere they say that they're working on getting official word from the network, studio and Murray's reps. Whatever the truth is, we find ourselves agreeing with BuddyTV: "The way the news was released -- in an amateur YouTube video -- feels a bit like breaking up with someone in a Post It note. "

So what do you think, folks? Should we take this at face value? Is it the economy, stupid? Or is this all a tempest in a teapot, a weird negotiating ploy, or evidence that aliens have taken over the entertainment industry? Talk about it in the comments!

Chad Michael Murray has said it plain and bold, he's not coming back to "One Tree Hill" next year. Captured by fan's video while he's having some interacting session, he said "They don't want me. I'm not joking."

Although the subject of conversation is not yet clear, the actor who plays Lucas in the series dropped some statements including "See, this is what all the fans should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that. That's what they should do." He continued telling the bunch of fans taking pictures of him, "They're not bringing me back next year...because they want to save money."

He added that he was shooting the last scene at that moment but won't spill what kind of exit story that his character may have.

His shocking announcement is echoing Hilarie Burton's cryptic message last month when she posted a video blog saying that her contract has not been renewed. "I've had a really good run," Burton said, "and I wish I had creative control over the show, and I don't. But if I did, it would go on for a million years, and Peyton Sawyer would cry for you all the time - because she does that."

"One Tree Hill" has been ordered for a seventh season by The CW. Apart from being the actor, Chad has often directed and written for the episodes. However, there may still be hope of him coming back next season. E! Online wrote in its spoiler section that Chad's "people are in negotiations with the One Tree Hill studio."

Congrats on your pretty red star!
Lucas is the narrator of the stinking show. There is no show without him!
I also watch House, Fringe, Bones, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, Numbers, Ghost Whisperer, Flashpoint, Knight Rider, Dancing Stars, So you think you can dance, Cupid, Castle, Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, and The Unusuals. I am sure I am forgetting something else.
I also download Dr Who, Robin Hood, Primeval and the Sarah Jane Adventures.

And, about Lucas narrarating... There was one episode that Nathan narrated and one that Payton narrarated but 99.8% are from Lucas!
