  • Shailene or Willa for Kaitlyn?

    I know The O.C. is over, but I'm really curious as to who you guys think was a better Kaitlyn Cooper. I think they both did a great job. Shailene would've been a little too mousy I think to play the older Kaitlyn, but Willa would've been too mature looking to play younger Kaitlyn.More I'm sort of glad Shailene was replaced; however, now that Shailene is 16.. She looks mature enough to play older Kaitlyn. Too bad the show is over. :(

    I love Shailene! She is so talented and should be a bigger star than she is! hide show

    The first time I saw Shailene was in the American Girl: Felicity movie! I'm not ashamed that I'm 17 and like that movie! Felicity was always my favorite! Shailene was so good in that and I wondered if I would ever see her again. Now she's back in the secret life of the American Teenager. I can't wait to see it bc I love Shailene and John Schneider...I can't believe they're working together again. Shailene is talented and should be recognized more...all of the disney stars are rising to superstardom! We need a new teen idol out there...I hope she becomes one bc I'd definitely like to see more of her!

    The Original Kaitlin Cooper hide show

    Now that Shailene is all grown up, I think she would've played a great Kaitlyn Cooper. It sucks that she was replaced by Willa Holland, but Shailene has moved on to bigger and better things such as starring in Felicity: An American Girl Story. I think she did a great job at staying in character and maintaining her role. This 16 year old is a great actress compared to people her own age. She can play a whole variety of characters too and I can guarantee that we will expect to see more great things coming from her. Live live the original Kaitlyn Cooper! She makes me like horses. :)

    Shailene Woodley is an amazingly talented actress, excelling in every role she has gotten. hide show

    Shailene Woodley is one of my favourite actresses. She is a beautiful and extremely talented young lady. I have seen her performances ranging from her small appearance in "Not Another Teen Movie" to her starring role in "Felicity: An American Girl Adventure", and she is a pure joy to watch in them all. Shailene has true potential and an already large, growing fan base. I can not wait to see her in "Searching for Mickey Fish" and whatever else she has in store for us!

    1.6 Abysmal
    Worst character ever! hide show

    Dealing with Julie is trouble enough we don\\\'t need a miniature version as a regular! I think that fox is trying to make her into the main focus of the show. She is moving home to take over Harbor, Ryan, Seth, and Summer are away at college, all at different ones no less. And to top it off, Marissa is dead! Where did they come up with this insane idea? Are they trying to make the show tank? Ryan is the main focus and the entire point of the show, what does Katlin have to do with it? If she ends up taking over the OC then I am done with this show and consider watching it a waste!
