Murray and Barton conducted negotiations on the conditions of a new contract for the 7th season over the past few months of the 6th season, however, the actors could not agree with the canal. According to rumors, Ched Michael Murray wanted more money, well, Hilary Barton with his character "+ one" fell under the distribution: in the plot at the end of the 6th season, a couple of Lucas couple and Payton marry and leave ONE TREE HILL. Many wrote that the loss of the almost most popular characters of the series is its beginning of the end. CW channel on the contrary wrote that the 7th season would be no less interesting than previous ones that the focus will be on the remaining three main characters (Brooke, Naiton, Holly), will also be introduced into the main composition of the most popular minor characters, there will also be new characters. Apparently, it did not help, once there are rumors that the CW channel decided to close the series at the peak of his popularity - then the ratings still fall and they decided that it was better now than with disgrace later.
Interestingly, there is a chance of at least one popular American series for their entire history to dope to the glory of the NBC channel with their "friends" since 1994, the 10 seasons of friends and those who left in 2004 with their characters on peace at the peak of popularity since 1994?! Nobody will shift "Friends" from the throne of the most rated and commercially successful series of the United States?!
