Tristan ( Chad Michael Murray) left in the Season 2 episode “Run Away, Little Boy” because his father was sending him to military school after he broke into a friend’s father’s safe. Chad Michael Murray actually left the show to appear on Dawson’s Creek. He then left said show to be a regular on One Tree Hill. Tristan and Rory never dated.

While Tristan was mentioned during Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (fans will recall the Tristan sighting sent Paris into a tailspin), Chad Michael Murray did not reprise the role. “I heard [it was happening], and I wasn’t available at the time. I’m pretty positive I was having a baby – my first child,” the actor told ET in 2017.
