The O.C.	comment	The O.C. is the story of Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie), a troubled teenager from Chino, and the Cohens, the family that takes him in. Ryan and his brother are arrested for grand theft auto, but Ryan's idealistic public defender, Sandy Cohen, recognizes Ryan's intelligence and offers him a way out. When Ryan's alcoholic mother and her abusive boyfriend kick him out, Ryan has no choice but to call Sandy.Ryan is thrust into the glamorous world of Orange County, and into the lives of the Cohens and their neighbors. There's Kirsten Cohen, Sandy's kind, but slightly guarded wife; nerdy and isolated Seth Cohen, their son; Marissa Cooper, their beautiful but troubled neighbor; Julie Cooper, Marissa's scheming mother; and Summer Roberts, Marissa's best friend. Ryan's first meeting with Marissa sets off sparks—too bad she's dating a Jerk Jock. Seth has loved Summer for years—too bad she doesn't know he exists.With Ryan around, things are changing fast. Ryan, Marissa, Seth, and Summer are about to endure breaking up, breaking down, parties, proms... everything teenagers would normally be expected to go through, but with the added drama of living in the O.C.This is a show about references.One official TV Tropes Wiki No Prize is up for grabs for each example of an other-media reference from this show.Not to be confused with an abbreviation for Original Character, or the series The OA.In 2021 Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke started the podcast Welcome to the OC, Bitches!.

The O.C. / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: At the end of Season One, we learn that the Newport Group is virtually bankrupt; Sandy and Jimmy inadvertently foil Caleb's scheme to rescue it. While the DA keeps investigating Caleb in Season Two, the bankruptcy issue isn't mentioned again, despite Kirsten taking over the Newport Group's accounting in Season Two. And then the reading of Caleb's will in Season Three, reveals he was bankrupt after all, with the implication that he had run his bank accounts dry to keep the Newport Group solvent. In Season One, Sandy & Kirsten were setting Jimmy up with Rachel, one of Sandy's co-workers, and then she just "went on vacation" & was never mentioned again. Jimmy & Hailey's relationship, that began in late season one, was swiftly ended early the following season after Amanda Righetti was cast in the series North Shore.

Lampshaded in a scene in the fourth season premiere, "The Avengers", when Seth puts together a comic book illustrating the Cohens' lives before he joined the family. Julie, to a greater degree than Kirsten. In Season One, she considered Ryan a Doom Magnet & wanted him away from Marissa, and was marrying Caleb Nichol for his money; by Season Four, she's warmed to Ryan & is the one who ultimately gets him to realise his father's not the man he remembers, and is willing to put her feelings for Frank aside for Kaitlin's personal preference for Bullit.

The O.C. / int_2a090d00	comment	Lampshade Hanging Seth comments on Zach's return: "You came back!... People never leave and come back!" "The LA" is an entire episode of lampshade hanging. Most episodes have a lampshade hanging. Part of the show's charm was it never took itself too seriously. The unrealistically melodramatic nature of the show gets this when Sandy says "Life's gritty enough, comic books should be fun." Seth responds "Life's gritty? We live in Newport Beach." In the 16th episode of Season 2, Seth complains that their year hasn't been as good as the first one, while Ryan defends the season saying that they can't simply rehash the first season. The conversation gets dangerously close to breaking the fourth wall. A similar instance in the penultimate episode of the series, after learning that Seth gave his blood to save his life, Ryan jokes that he has the sudden urge to listen to emo music & read comic books; which Seth responds to with a comment that if they'd switched things up & became a body swap comedy, they probably could've stretched another two years out of it. Summer goes through the five stages of grief within the span of a week, after Marissa's death, much like most TV characters. As in, we see a montage of her going through the five stages (Including anger a second time) that ends on the Student Councillor at Brown expressing surprise that she did it within a week. In the show's final episode, Summer comments that The Valley had just been renewed for several seasons and that "These teen dramas, they just run forever."

The O.C. / int_3c7d0418	comment	Doom Magnet: In-universe, Ryan is accused of being one early in the show by Julie. She does so again at the start in season 3, only for Jimmy to lampshade how ludicrous it is to blame Ryan for things that he had no involvement in. Marissa Cooper, especially in season 3. In fact, when you factor in that her death at the end of the third season was followed by the much Lighter and Softer fourth season - Everything literally got better for the characters after Marissa's death. Possibly lampshaded in a Freeze-Frame Bonus in the Alternate Universe/All Just a Dream episode.note There's briefly a shot of a poster advertising that "Pac West Surf Star" Johnny Harper would be making an appearance to advertise his new line of boards. Johnny died the previous season, and the implication is that if Ryan had never arrived in Newport & saved Marissa from an overdose in season one, Johnny would have never died.

The O.C. / int_754df088	comment	Put on a Bus: Luke Ward, who moved to Portland with his father after it emerged that he'd been sleeping with Julie Cooper. In reality, Chris Carmack left as the producers couldn't guarantee him screentime in the second season. Hailey Nichol took a job in Japan after Amanda Righetti was cast on North Shore & couldn't reprise the role in the second season. Jimmy Cooper, despite being important enough that he received an And Starring in the opening titles. With his relationship with Hailey ending early in the second season (See above), he kinda just floated around (Literally, he was living on a boat) for the first half of the season as the character had run his course. The writers figured this out towards the middle of the season, so he was written out of with the explanation he was worried, since he was restarting his relationship with Julie, that he was just repeating the cycle that cost him his marriage & reputation so he was going to move to Maui. Kaitlin Cooper was shipped off to boarding school off-screen between seasons one & two, after becoming The Ghost during season one.

Indeed a later flashback revealed she had been friends (or at least on name terms) with Summer since they had been in elementary school. The weird thing is, watching the first two seasons again on DVD, it really does appear that her actress may have been an extra in earlier school scenes. Or maybe it's just someone who looks similar. Lampshaded at one point when Taylor is talking to Summer about Seth's declaration of love in the first season: "Oh, you didn't see me, but I was here"

As noted by Seth in the season one finale - if Marissa hadn't been suckered in by Oliver, then Ryan & Marissa would have still been together when Theresa turned up in Newport & that subsequently Ryan wouldn't have slept with her, so there would be no debate over who the father of her unborn child would be, and subsequently Ryan wouldn't be about to leave Newport.

The O.C. / int_bb7916c	comment	Ship-to-Ship Combat: Occurs in-universe in Season 4 - after it becomes apparent that Bullit & Frank Atwood are both in love with Julie, the show gives us Team Bullit (Kaitlin) & Team Frank (Ryan & Taylor). Julie initially chooses Bullit, but Kaitlin encourages her to go to Frank instead after realising that Julie was only choosing Bullit because of Kaitlin's fondness for him, when she was really in love with Frank. Then the Time Skip occurs, during which Julie gets pregnant & Frank freaks out, leading to Julie to get together with Bullit, who doesn't care she's pregnant. Frank then makes a anguished declaration of love during Julie & Bullit's wedding. Julie chooses to be single instead of date either man, and it's unclear what her final decision is - the last time that the three are seen, Frank & Bullit are cheering for Julie as she collects her college degree in the closing montage. And this all takes place over the last few episodes of the series.

Possibly lampshaded in a Freeze-Frame Bonus in the Alternate Universe/All Just a Dream episode.note There's briefly a shot of a poster advertising that "Pac West Surf Star" Johnny Harper would be making an appearance to advertise his new line of boards. Johnny died the previous season, and the implication is that if Ryan had never arrived in Newport & saved Marissa from an overdose in season one, Johnny would have never died.

Caleb eventually marries Julie Cooper. This subsequently makes Julie stepmother to Caleb's daughters, stepmother-in-law to Sandy and step-grandmother to Seth and Ryan; and this means that Julie's daughters Marissa & Kaitlin are stepsisters to Caleb's daughters and aunts to Seth and Ryan, the later of whom dates both Marissa & Lindsay during Julie's marriage to Caleb; on top of that, Jimmy Cooper dated Kirsten in high school, married Julie, and eventually dated Hailey. After Caleb's death, Julie becomes engaged to Neil Roberts, who's daughter Summer is Seth's long-time girlfriend and eventual wife, and eventually Julie has a baby with Frank Atwood, Ryan's father. The AU in "Chrimukk-huh" would have only worsened things, as Sandy & Julie and Kirsten & Jimmy have married.

Only Sadie averts this being a ordinary girl, though one whose cousin recently died. Kirsten lampshades the contrast saying Ryan haves a "Saving the girl" attitude. Julie targets almost only rich and wealthy men (Jimmy, Caleb, Dr Roberts and Bullit) The only real exception is Frank, who she only briefly dates. In Season 2, Summer is torn between two geeky comics lovers (Seth and Zach) creating a Opposites Attract dynamic. In a friendship variation, Summer tends to get along with blondes: Marissa, Holly (at first) Anna, and Taylor. Inverted with Marissa who seems to be the type to Dark and Troubled Past guys or bad boys (Ryan, Oliver, Johnny, Trey and Volchok especially).

The O.C. / int_efef300	type	Put on a Bus to Hell
The O.C. / int_efef300	comment	Put on a Bus to Hell: After leaving Newport to avoid falling into the same cycle that led to his bankruptcy & divorce, Jimmy was brought back for Caleb's funeral at the end of the second season. Early in the following season, it was revealed that he had done the same things over again. This subsequently made his original reason for leaving somewhat pointless, and gave him a whole new reason for leaving that removed any reason for Jimmy to come back again by sinking his relationship with Julie & having Marissa tell not to come back again.

The O.C. / int_f0c4ce7d	type	The Lost Lenore
The O.C. / int_f0c4ce7d	comment	The Lost Lenore: Marissa becomes this for Ryan in Season 4. She's killed on their graduation day in a car accident caused by Volchok, Marissa's ex, and dies in Ryan's arms. He spends the first half of Season 4 mourning her, and even tries to go after Volchok and kill him. It's telling that when he and Taylor are in an alternate universe where Marissa might still be alive but wouldn't know him, he's willing to stay there, with a Marissa who doesn't know him and could come to love him, than he is to go back to the real world, where everyone else who loves him but Marissa is alive.

The O.C. / int_f40ede4e	comment	Sorry, I Left the BGM On: Played with in that you can usually hear the switch in volume when it goes from soundtrack music to scene music, and characters may or may not draw attention to it by lowering the radio/changing the channel/telling X to turn it off.

The O.C. / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: In the weeks leading up to the Revenge of the Sith theatrical release date. The full-length trailer aired after an episode with a short introduction by Adam Brody in character. Then, Summer walked by a life-size Obi-Wan cut-out. Then, George Lucas guest starred on the show. Then, Seth & Ryan were all shown playing the tie-in videogame with Seth saying, "I didn't know you could throw your lightsaber.", with Ryan replying, "New Game, who knew?"

The O.C. / int_f7d4f121	comment	Mushroom Samba: In Season 4, Seth takes hallucinogenic berries in an attempt to "heal his animus". He then has a vision of walking through a tripped-out version of the Cohen house until he walks into his room. His room now has a pool in it, where Seth's spirit animal, an otter, flops out of the pool. Seth begins to talk to him. When the vision ends, Seth has been renewed spiritually by 'saving his spirit animal', and is thus ready to love again.
