When Hilarie Burton's One Tree Hill character was written off the show, it wasn't just Peyton who went missing -- it was the actress herself!
Yes, Hilarie completely avoided the public spotlight for nearly a year, started dating actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and recently shocked us all with news that the two had had a baby. But all that is about to change.
TV Guide reports that Burton, 27, has been cast in a recurring role on the USA hit, White Collar. Currently attached for six episodes, she'll play Sara Ellis, an insurance investigator and foe to Matthew Bomer's lead, Neal.
Do you think the new gig is a good fit for Hilarie? What other shows would you want to see her on?

she should be back on ONE TREE HILL where she belongs as P. Sawyer with her Lucas so yea bring back Chad Michael Murray I guess or just recast him who cares just bring back PEYTON and her baby... NOW!!!!!
i want her back on one tree hill. i miss her, and her and lucas were going to have a baby.
I simply LOVE One Tree Hill. My daughter and I have watched it from the very beginning when she was in high school. I do miss Peyton and Lucus, however the show is still great and just as good as before with the newcomers. It would be great to work them back into the show, but the show should go on and it will be good anyway.
I miss Karen and Keith. I was hoping Keith just went into hiding after the shooting and would reappear some day. Or his death was just a dream! But I guess he is gone. Maybe Karen could come back and Deb too.
Also I miss Jake. He was hot! Oh well. I wonder why Lucus and Peyton were wrote out, they were both great actors.
that is good that she will be back on tv BUT she should be back on ONE TREE HILL where she belongs as P. Sawyer with her Lucas so yea bring back Chad Michael Murray I guess or just recast him who cares just bring back PEYTON and her baby... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would lyke to see her back on one tree hill with lucas cause no on watches it unless both of them are there so re-write her and lucas back on and then one tree hill will be on of the most veiwable show ever everyone will be watching it
I am a die hard tree hill FAN!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarie and chad were my favorite actors in the entire tree hill cast. the characters for tree hill would be nothing without P. Sawyer and Lucas Scott. SOOOOOOO.......................... I am begging hilarie to please come back to tree hill even if it is for 5 shows. You guys left the show at such a bad time. You just had the baby and you and lucas went through so much from season 1 to season 6. i would at least like to know how the marriage and the baby is going. Please keep in mind that this show is nothing without all of the old characters. cause now they are trying to distract us from noticing you guys are not there with depressed new characters. Brooke and Hailey NEED you please consider going back.
BRING HER & CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY BACK 2 TREE HILL! No one can ever replace her or just "write her out" of the series! It's just not Tree Hill w/out Lucas & Peyton!
I would like to see her return to One Tree Hill with Chad Michael Murray. They were the stars of this show and the vieweres would return if they did. Please think about returing to OTH for session 8. You and Lucas are the best actors for this show. Thanks, Marge
I would love her on anything she plays on. She is a wonderful actress. I hate that OTH didn't bring her back, especially with every thing that the characters went through this past year.
I think that is cool but I want me P. Sawyer. Back it sucks that Lucas and Peyton left. I think if Martha Madison is not able to return . Hilarie burton would be a perfect replacement Belle cause she is not only Beautiful but a really good actress as for Shawn I dont know who would play him but Im sure they can think someone up. as for Jason cook Is playing 1 of my fave Docs on Gh. Branden Bemmer is Awsome in the role as Own On B&B. I will watch her airdates I never watched it before but im starting since she will be on there.
