Chad Michael Murray will return for the ninth (!) and final season of One Tree Hill, no doubt to the great relief of heart-eating dogs everywhere. Lots of people stopped watching OTH, oh, a long time ago, but it’s been plugging right along, complete with serial killers and bridezillas and hurricanes, making Mexican soap operas look like daily installments of Nova. Last season featured a faux-CMM mannequin, complete with mangy facial hair, so there’s been at least a little foreshadowing of Lucas’s return; his better half, Peyton (Hilarie Burton), won’t be joining him, though, which better not mean they broke up again.
