What is your favorite teen show? Is it an old one like 'Dawson's Creek' and 'The OC'? Or would it be more recent, like 'Outer Banks' and 'Stranger Things'?


Chad Michael Murray is opening up with People about how much he dislikes 'One Tree Hill's' most hated scene in which his character Lucas' dad, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson), finds his heart transplant is eaten by a Dog stoned on pot brownies in season 6, episode 18. Let him take it away.


"It was one of those scenes where I remember I begged and pleaded, begged and pleaded, 'Please, I don't need to be there. There is no need for Lucas Scott to be there. If you really want to do it, fine. Go ahead and write the scene, but it's terrible."


"All things are very possible, I guess, in the spectrum of things. If you were at home, and you were making pot brownies, as one does, and you fell asleep, and your dog happened to get into said pot brownies and ingest of the entire tin, first thing, of course, you're going to do is take him to the ER. You're not going to take him to the vet. Why would you take him to the vet? We don't do that in pet emergency. Let's go to the ER."


"And of course at the ER, they're going to say, 'Hey, you can't bring your dog, but you know what? We'll help you out. We're going to take a look at your dog. We're not going to send you to the vet. No, we're going to let the dog chill out here.' They're going to wait."


"Now, next we're going to obviously get exhausted because we also ate some of these said pot brownies and fell asleep. Meanwhile, my dog's leash ... It's one of those 25-foot leashes. It goes and wraps around the whole ER, and everything's tied up. And then, of course, if you're going to bring a heart replacement in, it's coming right in through the ER. You're not going to bring it back through the loading dock. That heart comes in, and it's not locked off. The case is not locked off. It's coming right in [in a cooler]."


"It's going to walk right in through those doors where, in fact, my dad is waiting to get said heart. He's not in the prepping room waiting. He's not in his gown being prepped. He's in the ER. And meanwhile, I'm pretty sure [his character's girlfriend Peyton is in the hospital. Yes? Or is this when we're having a baby? "


"Of course, I happen to be there. And if you have a trip line in the middle of an ER, as you will, you will trip. And the [cooler] flies, and the heart goes skidding across the room. It's not in a package. It's just sitting right there on top of ice. And it skids across the room.

Somehow, the dog got off the leash. I'm not sure how, but he did. And as I'm standing there, he picks it up and scarfs it up and runs off. And I witnessed this entire thing, as Dan Scott also witnesses. And he knows that that's probably his heart that just got eaten by the stoned dog who had the munchies. The scene went down in infamy."
