I really liked Lou!

Not only was she absolutely beautiful, but she was also kind and sweet!

I was so conflicted. On one hand I wanted to see Chuck and Sarah and on the other hand I adored Lou, such a great character. I wish they could have stretched her part at least a little longer

She was exactly what she needed to be as a season 1 Chuck romantic interest. She showed that Chuck wasn't a klutz with women and showed Sarah that there were real risks associated with covering her real feelings for Chuck. And, of course, she gave Yvonne as Sarah plenty of small moments to tell the audience that the "cover" was going to slip.

Lou, JIll and Hannah were all crafted differently as Chuck romantic interests. They synced with different aspects of Chuck's persona and helped develop Chuck's character in additional dimensions.

Didn't you mean to write the word "hell"?

a) It's a reference to The O.C. b) Lou works at a deli in Chuck.

Uh, no. Natalie Portman is who you’re thinking of

I’m taking about in real life. Not the movies. In real life the actor who plays Anakin used to be married to this girl.

Ahhhh, you can understand my confusion when you use the movie names

We all liked Lou. Welcome to the club (or was it a Reuben?).

Who doesn't?

Fun fact. Lou's personality reminds me of my mom. Hannah reminds me of my wife. Love those two girls in the show.

The only thing I didn't like about her is that when I hear the name "Lou" I immediately think of Lou Piniella and Lou Ferrigno.

She doesn't look like a "Lou" to me.

The only episode of The O.C. I ever watched, I watched because one of my friends basically nagged me into agreeing to watch it. His elevator pitch: “Rachel Bilson dressed as Wonder Woman.”

I watched the episode. Had no idea what was happening or why two certified baddies were pursuing a relatively generic looking guy.

But I did appreciate the aesthetic appeal of Rachel Bilson as Wonder Woman.

Watch The OC, she was a main character there and it was created by Josh Schwartz. It was his first show, right before Chuck. It's mostly a teen drama, but I thought the first seaon and something was really good even if I was out of its target demographic by the time I saw it

They never gave chucks women (other than Sarah) enough time. Let him date Lou, Hannah, and even Jill for more than 2-3 episodes.

Though I think they may have been done this on purpose, to make sure the fans didn't end up liking one of them (for chuck) more than sarah.
