Hil <3

Are One arbre colline alums Hilarie burton and Chad Michael Murray open to returning to the CW show?

"I'm never ever gonna say never," burton told TVGuide.com on the USA upfront red carpet in New York on Monday night. "I l’amour that crew so much, I miss them and Wilmington."

Burton, who was recently made a series regular on USA's White Collar, originally starred as Peyton Sawyer while Murray played Lucas Scott on One arbre Hill. The two left the series at the end of Season 6.

Regardless of whether the longtime series regular will...

New mom Hilarie burton (formerly of One arbre Hill) is breaking her silence -- just a tad -- about the baby boy she and boyfriend Jeffrey Dean morgan (The Watchmen) secretly welcomed earlier this year.

As first revealed in Us Weekly in May, Burton, 28, began dating Morgan, 44, in 2009, and "their relationship moved pretty quickly," an insider told Us. The actress was not photographed in public between May 6, 2009 and April 20, 2010, when she and morgan went public with their romance at an L.A. film premiere.
