The O.C.

Character: Summer Roberts
Seasons: Four; 2003-2007
Trivia: Rachel was originally cast as a guest, before being made a series regular, starting with episode 1×14 ‘The Countdown’.

Synposis: When Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie), a tough, guarded, fiercely intelligent 16-year-old, plunges headlong into the wealthy, privileged community of Newport Beach, California, he soon discovers that the ruling families of Orange County are every bit as territorial as the tough crowd with which he ran on the streets of Chino. For Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher), the idealistic public defender who takes Ryan in; his wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), the linchpin of O.C. society; their awkward son, Seth (Adam Brody); and the beautiful, troubled girl next door, Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) — Ryan’s presence will forever change their lives. [Season 1 DVD Boxset]
