Big Changes Coming to One Tree Hill

Things are going to be looking a little different around Tree Hill come season seven. The show's cast is getting a pretty substantial makeover - and it may mean even more dramatic changes for the show than the flash forward OTH put in place a couple of years back. The news may be spoilery, so I've left it behind the jump, but if you're ready to talk about it, just read more.

So: Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton are leaving One Tree Hill at the end of this season. The two had been in contract negotiations for a while, but ultimately, it appears they couldn't work out a deal. So newlyweds Peyton and Lucas will be leaving Tree Hill one way or another - and I guess we'll find out how in next week's season finale.

The show's planning to reload the cast, promoting Austin Nichols (who plays Julian) to a regular character and adding some new blood. The roles are:

Quinn, an older sister of Haley's and a free spirit who comes to town hoping to heal a broken heart.
Alexis, the new face of Brooke's clothing line who's "an adrenaline junkie and a bit of a diva" and has "never met a party she didn’t like."
Clayton, a rising star at a sports agency who crosses paths with Nathan. He's "a bit of a lothario" and "unapologetically enjoys the spoils that are available to a young, wealthy, handsome single guy."

Still, can those characters compensate for the loss of two of the show's leads? Will you keep watching One Tree Hill without Lucas and Peyton?

The Results Are In: Recast Heathers

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

When it comes to catty, vicious teenage girls, the Heathers take the cake. In recasting this movie, not only did people have to look like high schoolers, but they had to have that nasty edge that would make for a good Heather.

With so many excellent recast lists submitted this week, it was truly difficult to pick just one. CaterpillarGirl had some fantastic ideas, in particular the pick of Adrianne Palicki (Tyra from "Friday Night Lights") because, as she puts it, "she has that 'lick it up baby' look down pat." I also enjoyed all the picks for Evan Rachel Wood, and I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt could definitely do well with the role of J.D. as both collomtwin and Sascha9000 suggested.

My favorite list overall, however, comes from eaker! To see who eaker picked and a new cast picture, read more

eaker's cast:
Heather Duke: Amber Tamblyn
