a bit about the characters...

Peter Gallagher plays Sandy Cohen, a lawyer and former public defender who brings Ryan Atwood to his home. He was the CEO of the Newport Group until he decided to return to the public defender's office at the end of season three. Kelly Rowan plays Kirsten Cohen, the wife of Sandy Cohen and the mother of Seth Cohen and former CFO of her late father's real estate company (Newport Group) and a recovering alcoholic. Ben McKenzie plays Ryan Atwood, a troubled outsider from Chino who comes to live with the Cohen family in Newport after Sandy rescues him from a troubled life. He had an on/off relationship with Marissa. Adam Brody plays Seth Cohen, the only child of Sandy and Kirsten. Seth is known for his quick quips and popular culture references. Melinda Clarke plays Marissa's mother Julie Cooper-Nichol (possibly Julie Cooper-Nichol-Roberts, pending a wedding to fiance Dr. Neil Roberts), who was married to financial planner Jimmy Cooper in the beginning of the first season. After learning that he stole a large sum of money from clients, she eventually divorced Jimmy, had a short lived relationship with Luke Ward, and married Caleb Nichol. Rachel Bilson plays Summer Roberts, the socialite of the four main teen characters — the love interest of Seth, and best friend to Marissa. She is the daughter of Dr. Neil Roberts. Willa Holland plays Kaitlin Cooper, Marissa's younger sister who returned from boarding school in the middle of season three. Jimmy Cooper and Julie Cooper are her parents and her personality is more like her mother's than father's. In the Season three finale, she tells her mother that she's moving back to Newport permanently. Autumn Reeser plays Taylor Townsend, a student who battled Summer for full control of Harbor High School's social scene. Taylor was extremely lonely, and upon realizing this, Summer and Seth became friends with her. In the season three finale, Seth tells her she has become inner circle material, making her a part of the short-lived “Fab Five.” She is the daughter of Veronica Townsend.

Chris Carmack played Luke Ward, Marissa's jock ex-boyfriend and regular cast member episodes 2-24. He was the first main character to leave the show when he moved to Portland with his dad after his dad came out being gay. Alan Dale played Caleb Nichol, Kirsten's businessman father and eventually Julie Cooper's husband. His character was recurring throughout the first season until he became a regular during the second season. Additionally, his is the first main character to be killed off when he had a heart attack. It was found out that he was broke at the reading of his will, leaving Julie with nothing. Tate Donovan played Jimmy Cooper, Marissa's (and sister Kaitlin's) father (and Julie's husband). He was a regular cast member for episodes 1-34, but his character left the O.C. for Maui. He returned following Caleb's death at the end of the second season and almost remarried Julie. After running into financial troubles (and being attacked), he decided to leave Newport again early in the third season. He used to live on a boat. He is currently the captain of a ship that is sailing in the Greek Islands. Mischa Barton played Marissa Cooper, the first of the "core four" to leave the series at the end of season three (episodes 1-76). Marissa was arguably the most conflicted of the main characters, battling with drug and alcohol addiction due to tumultuous relationships with her parents, boyfriends and her fellow classmates. She was Summer's best friend and Ryan's on and off love interest. She was killed in a car accident after her vengeful last boyfriend, Kevin Volchok, ran her and Ryan off a cliff while driving under the influence(this last episode i was crying for about 30 minutes because of what happend with marissa)we love you marissa cooper!!!
