The O.C. Memorable Moment: Meet the new outcasts of Harbor School

Luke: This is gonna be weird.
Ryan: Yep.
Luke: Everyone's going to be starring at me, talking.
Marissa: Yep.
Luke: Maybe I can just blow the whole thing off, go hit the beach - give everybody time to get it out of their systems.
Ryan: It doesn't work like that. It's been months - I'm still the kid from Chino that burned a house down..
Marissa: And i'm still the girl who tried to kill herself in Mexico..
Seth: I'm still..I'm still Seth Cohen..
Luke: Man this is gonna suck..
Seth: Yeah, well. Welcome to my world.

This scene comes from: Season 1 Episode 12 "The Secret"

The O.C. Video Clips: Long lost episode of The O.C.?

Here we have a very rare long lost episode of The O.C..An episode so bad it never seen the light of day until now...Just kidding - this was from an early 2000's Mad TV skit. Enjoy it in all of it's low resolution glory! 

Just for Fun: Marissa's two goodbyes

Let's face it Marissa spent a ton of time in front of her driveway in season one of The O.C..It was almost as if she lived on the curb! The most memorable of the driveway scenes was when Ryan left the Cohen's house for the first time at the end of the pilot episode and also when Marissa watched Ryan drive off with Theresa in the last episode of the first season "The Ties That Bind". Comparing the two above images (first episode goodbye to last episode goodbye) you can see Mischa Barton's character's overall facial looks changed a whole lot within the first season - she looks much older on the right - less baby fat too. Which makes a lot of sense because she was one of the only REAL teenager that played a teenager in The O.C..Find out how old she was plus the age of the rest of the gang here!
