The O.C. - also known as Orange County, California - is an idyllic paradise, a wealthy, harbor-front community where everything and everyone appears to be perfect. But beneath the surface is a world of shifting loyalties and identities, of kids living secret lives hidden from their parents and of parents living secret lives hidden from their children. 'The O.C.' tells the story of the Cohen, Cooper and Nichol families and Ryan Atwood, a troubled teen from the wrong side of the tracks who is thrust into this world and who will forever change the lives of the residents of The O.C.

  I was on the 90210 forums and they have a thread for most hated character, so I thought well we dont have one for the OC so why not? I think itd be interesting as to what you all have to say. It can be a main character or not a main character. This is kind of hard to choose and there are others who werejust plain mean that I didnt care for (Charlotte, mainly because she tried to screw over Kirsten who was nothing but nice to everyone)but she also added drama to the show so i didnt hate her too much,but Id have to say for me itd be Jess Sathers. I just couldnt stand that girl. She was stupid, annoying, slutty...all she did was try to screw trey and ryan and get in the way for Marissa/Ryan, and that whole "locked in the pool house at her party" thing where ryan had to leave to go get her when she wasnt really friends with him to begin with and hadnt talked to him in like a year, two years, whatever it was, was just sooo stupid. Anyone agree? Have any youd like to share? less «

  Ok, so I dont think this has been done but who knows. Basically take your favorite 15 characters on the show and then put them in order (you can do more if you want but I could only do 15 lol). Ill start. 1.Marissa 2.Seth 3.Sandy 4.Ryan 5.Caleb 6.Kirsten 7.Summer 8.Julie 9.Jimmy 10.Alex 11.Anna 12.Taylor 13.Luke 14.Hailey 15.Sadie Most of the other characters I either found very annoying (Danny, Donny, older Kaitlin, Che, Holly, Jess Sathers, Chili at times) or either too villainous with no redeeming qualities (Dawn (I count her with what she put Ryan through), Charlotte, Oliver, Dean Hess, Trey at the end, Volchok, Veronica Townsend) or too pointless/didnt have much personality to like (DJ, Dr Roberts, Johnny, Frank, Zack, Lindsay at times). Maybe its just me lol Edit: Somehow I didnt have Julie on here! lol That is crazy to me. Well I love "cigar-smoking Julie" but not "trying to lock up Ryan" Julie so thats why shes middle of the road for me. I either love her or hate her. I had to bump off Theresa but thats ok because I only added her because I needed another spot filled lol. Oh and Luke is "goofy Luke" and not "cheating on Marissa and beating up Ryan" Luke so thats why hes so far down. less «

  The OC is a Television Show about a boy, named Ryan, that is "saved" from the criminal world, by the Cohens, a rich family, which lives on Newport Beach! hide « show »

  I love The OC!
  In my opinion is the best show ever!
  There are great actors on it, and a good history!
  I think people from every age can watch and like, because it addresses many different issues! I really don't understand why they canceled.Most of the people said it was because of the death of one of the main character,Marissa, but i don't agree, and I think the show mantained the same quality even after her death!
  About the performances...most of the cast is really good,but ofcourse there are some actors that need some "help".
  Ending, it is a really good TV show! I recommend, watch!

  Missing it very much... hide « show »

  If there is replacement show for Beverly Hills 90210 (original one) it was "The O.C", so instead of making the remake of BH (remake really sucks), the producers should not end the O.C. For me the end of this show is the end of the third season where Marissa died. Because for me the relationship between Ryan and Marissa is the plot of the series and when she went, the show all fall apart unfortunately.
  I like all of the charachters maybe the acting was not the first class but it was really an amusing show Although I dont like teenage drama series, I watched it without skipping one part (not season 4).

  Ryan Atwood a kid from wrong side of the tracks gets help from Sandy Cohan, who sees a good kid having to deal with the bad things in life hide « show »

  I had a love hate feeling about this show. I first didn't want anything to do with the show. Fox promoted the show so much that I couldn't wait for it to start so the promos would stop. Then the night it premiered I couldn't find anything else to watch. I really liked the 1st season and looked so forward to the next season, but season 2 really put me off. It seemed like Seth and Summer would get back together only to have Ryan and Marissa break up and by the time they patched things up Seth and Summer were ending their relationship. That and the whole Oliver thing really pissed me off. Season 3 seemed to be going in a better direction until the end of the season which again didn't sit well with me. Season 4 looked like they finally got it back on track only to have it be cancelled mid-season

  Best show EVER!!! hide « show »

  I can even smell California when I watch this show. Never ever watched anything like this before. It's so pure and simple at the same time deep.
  
  Every moment of this show is special. The characters, the drama, the acting... everything is so incredibly good. The cast rocks! I like marissa, ryan, anna, seth, kristin, summer, sandy, jimmy and almost everyone in the show. The show is just too perfect. It has comedy, drama, emotion, happiness, sexy moments everything.
  
  I love OC. Can't believe it's off-air. How can they stop a show like this!? Huh?
  
  I'll miss and love the OC 'til the end! :D
