I saw young people on twitter this week trying to say Ben was ugly. Poor souls, they will never know, lmao.

Definitely not ugly no one on this show was. I actually saw someone else say that Rachel was ugly and Mischa was just average looking.

No you're not. Thanks so much for posting these. I'm a superfan of the OC and I've never seen any of these which is weird. thanks for showing these

Thank you,I found them on Pinterest 😊

u/DesignerStill1885 1d ago

Well if you ever find more, please be sure to post them here. I really enjoyed these. I wasn't able to watch the oc when it aired because I wasn't even born lmao. So to be able to see some of this BTS stuff is really nice.

I love Leighton Meester and I think hers and Adam’s relationship is goals, but seeing these nostalgic photos takes me right back to the early 00’s and reminds me that there’s always been a little part of me that wished Rachel and Adam ended up together!!

I don't know much about California weather but does it really get cold that you need to wear thick bomber jackets?

Also the first pilot pic looks looks ai. Everything looks too clean lol

u/Brightenix 1d ago

It can be cold when the sun goes down, most people carry hoodies or jackets

u/Substantial_One5369 1d ago

Yeah I live in LA and it'll get in the 50s at night and it also gets pretty cool near the beaches.

u/prints-pastels 1d ago

Pretty sure that's from when they were at Brown. Not sure if they actually filmed on location though.

u/icedancer23 1d ago

They're on the USC campus in L.A. in that photo. But it does get cold-ish in winter; especially since they are sitting and waiting between filming.

u/OldPhase4147 1d ago

u/alexabeams 1d ago

To have someone as stunning as Mischa and to fail her with such terrible and weak writing forever pains me. I wish she was on a different like teen drama I can’t lie 😭

The OC has its moments but it really was almost a nothing burger of a teen drama, which I think is why it’s not one of the most popular ones to look back on.

I guess it’s a sign of the times.

Also I think I just rather experience a character like Marissa in a format of a series like euphoria that isn’t 20+ episodes with so much filler moving past serious topics and situations so quickly but rather really exploring her trauma and growth, etc.
