Season 2
At the end of last season, Ryan returned to Chino to protect his pregnant ex-girlfriend from her abusive ex-boyfriend and, with the departure of his only friend in Newport Beach, Seth decided to do what he always had planned: sail off on his yacht, the Summer Breeze, and run away from Newport Beach. With Seth and Ryan gone, Kirsten and Sandy try to stay busy with a remodeling project at home, while Julie and Caleb settle into their gorgeous Newport Beach mansion. But now the summer is over, school's about to begin and Ryan and Seth are nowhere to be found.
Season 3
Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer are about to begin their senior year at Harbor High. But while everyone else celebrates the last days of summer, a dark cloud hangs over the foursome. Trey, Ryan's brother, still clings to life two months after the shooting and the cops want to know who really shot him. Meanwhile, Julie Cooper and Jimmy are determined to protect Marissa at whatever cost. And while Sandy, Seth and Ryan try to fend for themselves at home, Kirsten, still recovering in her plush rehab by the sea, forms a friendship with fellow recovering alcoholic Charlotte, who like all things in the O.C. may not be everything she appears to be.

It’s been over 10 years since The O.C. aired it’s first episode and people are still talking about it. On August 5th, 2003 The OC first premiered on tv. That was 19 years ago. Happy The OC day! Miss this show. The Fox drama has had quite the cultural impact and what many people don’t know is that it could have been a very different show. From the Cohen’s name to the stars who were almost cast, here are a few behind the scenes secrets about The O.C.! I've been revisiting some of a sitcom that was very impactful to my teenaged and young adult years, LOL: it's The O.C. ❤ It's neat to see what still resonates and I have to be honest: a lot does. Even more now, actually, as an adult. The show is all about adults, really. Anyway, one of the gains I got from #TheOC was a plethora of incredible music and an introduction to so many artists that would become my personal favourites. This is a Rooney song that's fun for rainy-day vibes - like today. So, with that said, here's your #JamOfTheDay
