It was long rumoured, but few fans dared believe that Lucas Scott would truly be returning to Tree Hill for the final season of the CW show. But now it looks like it’s gonna be a reality!

Dreams do come true. That is, if you were one of the fans of One Tree Hill who desperately hoped for Chad Michael Murray to make a final return to the show before it ended! The CW blog writes:

Murray’s character was last seen driving off into the sunset with his wife Peyton (Hilarie Burton) and their new baby Sawyer. Lucas returns to Tree Hill after Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) reaches out to him for help.

He’ll return “during the final season,” but we don’t know exactly when. We also don’t know if Peyton, who was painfully absent from Brooke’s wedding, will be returning. But TV Line says no, and claims that Hilarie Burton has not been invited back. Boo!

Are you excited to see Lucas return, and will this perhaps convince you to tune back to the show’s final season, even if you had given up on it?
