As the fans of The O.C. know all too well, FOX cancelled the drama early last month after four seasons. Many people were upset and campaigned for the CW network to pick up the series for a fifth season. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen so there are just a few episodes left before we say goodbye to the families and friends from Southern California.
The cast and crew of The O.C. wrapped their final episode on Friday and it sounds like creator Josh Schwartz has a lot of interesting and satisfying plot twists in store. Before the cast departed for the last time, they shared their favorite memories and their feelings about the show’s demise.
Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts): “Favorite moment or scene: I like the episode last year where at prom I got really drunk and fell off the stage and it was my first time doing a stunt, so I like to brag and tell people that I can do stunts. Oh, the Spiderman kiss of course. The Spiderman kiss was so cool.”
Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen): “It’s sad, because I saw great things for this show. But it’s exciting because I am looking forward to doing something else. I’ll miss this crew and this cast but it’s also the longest job I’ve ever had in my life. I guess my favorite moment was the day I read the pilot script. That was very exciting. And I certainly loved singing in the second season.”

Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend): “I think the show has definitely made me more confident as an actor because I have been acting for a long time but never every single day of my life. It teaches you to come to work when you are sick and to come to work when you are exhausted and to come to work even though you’ve only had two hours of sleep and still do the work… because you have to.”
Willa Holland (Kaitlin Cooper): “I definitely feel like I am losing my favorite show to watch and my favorite show to be on, so watching it end is really depressing and sad.”
Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan Atwood): “I just want to thank everyone for watching for four years. And supporting us. It’s meant a lot. It’ll be a shame to have to move on. But life goes on.”
Adam Brody (Seth Cohen): “Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. If you are upset, don’t worry, there are DVDs.”
Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper): “It’s a little bittersweet, a little sad, but I think we are all happy with the way it is ending. The audience will be very satisfied with the storyline. They won’t feel there is anything left to question.”
The series finale of The O.C. will air on Thursday, February 22nd on FOX. Don’t miss it and stay tuned! 
Addition: Disney just announced that all four seasons of The O.C. and One Tree Hill will be broadcast on their SOAPnet cable channel. Both will air Monday-Friday beginning April 9th.

Best show ever, seriously
I’m shocked and angry that FOX have cancelled the OC! Just when they finally get rid of Marissa and the show is really thriving! Taylor and Ryan were so funny and sweet to watch, a nice change to watching Marissa getting into trouble. Why not cancel the shows that nobody wants to watch and leave the good ones alone!!!!!
ok I am a little upset with the comments the cast left. some of them are bittersweet and some are just so horrible. to think that these people are just thinking of it as just a job. this show actually got me through things and it made me actually think things can and will happen. im especially dissapointed with adam he just saw this show as another job. he was my favorite. i cried last episode because i cant get it through my head its been ending. well r.i.p. oc i hope and hope just maybe you might come back… Read more »
i believe that no matter what will happen i’ll never forget the oc!4 years i watched it,i cried with summer, i laugh with seth and i symathized with ryan when marissa died!i feel like they are my best friends!i just don’t know how i’ll get over it!there must be 5 season pls!!! OC FOREVER !!!!!!!!!I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!!!!
So sorry to see this show end. My daughter and I looked so forward to Thursday nights and “our” The OC. It was a great time for discussions. We laughed a lot and cried when Marissa died. We were great Ryan and Marissa fans. We loved all 4 seasons and we agree with the fans that say, FOX you are making a huge mistake. The only thing wrong with The OC was the timeslot you put it in. Thank you though Josh for The OC!
so my best friend and i’s favorite show was The OC.
she died in a car wreck, just like Marissa, 3 months before that episode aired.
watching the show is hard enough without her, but then to see that episode…….
i have to say……killing off marissa was the demise of OC. and i know my friend would agree…..
I just wanted to say that the o.c is my favorite show ever.
I will never forget the actors and how much more confident they made me feel about my life.
I LOVE THE O.C.
Peace out people
&&peace out o.c cast.

I loved this show. Personally, I was gripped by Ryan in the first episode. He has held me charmed from then on. He doesn`t have to say a word and you know how he`s feeling. A great actor. He will always have a small place in my heart. I wish all the cast well for the future.
It’s a shame that such a well written, captivating show has been cancelled. Hopefully, another network will pick it up. I look forward to seeing the cast in other projects. They really were great. Good luck to all of them in their future ventures!
This show was amazing it was the only one i ever watch and i dont understand why they have to take it off the air. the main reason why i belive it is getting low ratings is because the show is getting riped off cause there on the same time as CSI and ER and a bunch of diffrent shows. but its ok cause FOX is making the biggest mistake they will ever make
There are many shows out there that SHOULD be cancelled, but this was not one of them. I am very sad to see this show go!
it was the best show that ever existed argggg ! im sioo mad that its ending its an outrage!!
It must have been a sad day for the cast of The Oc but it seems like everyone is looking forward to moving on and working on new projects. I was a huge fan of The OC during seasons 1 and 2. I do want to catch the season finale to see how it all ends.
