Ok, so I may be alone on the board as a fan of the OC, but I thought I’d jump in just in case there are any other fans out there.

Has anyone else seen this article/spoiler from today’s NY POST?

What do you think? Cheap ratings grab?

My sister taught Michael Cassidy (‘Zach’) in high school. I’m afraid I’ve never seen the show.

Probably. Although, if they were going to go that route, I’d much rather they’d have put Adam Brody in a gay relationship. With lots of on-screen sex.

Hey, I can be shameless.

Ugh. Much as I love _The OC_, I’m rapidly losing patience with the Marissa character . . . if they have to go there, I’d rather see Summer in a lesbian relationship.

Yeah? Adam Brody over Benjamin McKenzie? Seth’s cute and all, but Ryan’s nicer to look at . . . especially shirtless, which would be a requirement for the lots of on-screen sex . . . 😃

I’m all over seeing Seth’s character in a gay role. I’m selfish too.

That being said, I wonder if the show isn’t playing into that tired old stereotype that only troubled young women who drink too much are sexually adventurous? Lol

I should never even attempt to analyze this show.

Christmukkah.
