According to our source, the plan is for Chad and Hilarie to be back in Tree Hill this season. Nothing is set in stone just yet,
but we’re hearing that the original plan was to have the happy family (baby in tow) return for Brooke’s (Sophia Bush) two-episode
wedding, during One Tree Hill DVD ‘s original 13-episode order. But now that six additional scripts have been picked up, the Scott

Brooke’s
wedding], maybe we’ll bring back Chad and Hilarie at a later date,” he said. “If we get a full season maybe at the end of the
journey, but those two characters are a big part of this world. We’ve talked about it, and there seems to be interest from all
sides.”
When we pried about bringing back Karen (Moira Kelly) and other faves, Mark simply stated: “We’ve never parted ways with anyone
with any animosity. We’ve had such a large cast and we’ve been on for so long, but there’s not one actor that is not invited back
or unwilling to come back.”
