Hey People!

By now, I’m pretty sure most of you have seen Hilarie speaking up on her Southern Gothic blog about her decision to leave OTH and why she decided to follow it up.

But did she?

I don’t think that she even once mentioned that she was leaving the show, but she sure was bummed out about some unknown reason.

Hilarie’s all”oh I love the crew”, she’s psyched about the renewal of the show — and then abruptly  addresses rumors that she’s not coming back. “I want everyone to know how much I love Peyton Sawyer, and my crew… I have had a really good run, and I wish I had creative control of the show, but I don’t…I just don’t want anyone to think I’m abandoning a place that has been really good to me… ”

What exactly does that even mean?!

I found this on CWsource and found this comment really interesting and oddly accurate-

It certainly sounds to me like she is not going to be on the show next season and my best guess is that it’s because her future on OTH is tied up with CMM’s.

If Chad were opting to return for a full season next year, then Hilary would have been asked back. And unless they want to do something really drastic in order to let Peyton stay in Tree Hill “all alone” (like kill off the Lucas character in the season finale), it would just be weird to have Peyton there without Lucas at this point in their relationship/storyline.

Now, writing the above really made me wonder how they’re going to exit both characters .. and I had this awful thought that they might have Peyton die (promos have shown Lucas telling Peyton that having/carrying the baby could kill her) .. and then THAT provides a valid reason why Lucas might want to leave Tree Hill (and still allow him for a guest spot next season if he was agreeable).

And I realize that I am saying that they’d be willing to kill off Peyton, but not Lucas .. and yes, I actually think this to be true .. because the show was originally conceived with Lucas as the lead character .. and so much from his POV .. and operating on the idea that season 7 WILL be the last, I do believe they’d be much more willing to have Peyton die. Not that I want this to be the case.

Of course, Leyton could still leave Tree Hill together, both alive .. but with a good reason to move elsewhere (and still plenty of drama about it).

What do YOU all think?
