Marissa Cooper is a great example of what happens when writers fail to develop a character outside their importance to the central male character/love story. By the end of season three Ryan & Marissa no longer worked as a couple because after three years of Ryan saving her the audience was just tired of seeing the same thing happening over and over again. Ironically, if the writers had allowed Marissa to grow outside of Ryan & her relationship with him they probably could have saved their core relationship.

I get Alan Sepinwall's tv newsletter, and this week he teased how his upcoming book on The OC will shed light on the behind-the-scenes conversations around the Marissa/Alex relationship.

(the pic actually a gif of Seth's over-the-top reaction to Marissa in Alex's apartment)

The funniest thing about The OC to me is imagining Tate Donovan begging the writers to give his character growth and Josh Schwartz and co. explaining to him that Jimmy is a great dad!!!

#the oc #josh schwartz #tate donovan #apparently this happened and I'm loling #the thing is jimmy does seem better than julie but such a low bar #he vaguely attempts to respond to her emotional needs #ish

“We wrote it like Benedict and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing, and, as mentioned before, a little bit of the Dangerous Liaisons quality. There was a lot of good inspiration driving us.”

Seeing The OC/Gossip Girl/Chuck creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage on the picket line makes me so emotional but happy, like these guys literally crafted my adolescent psyche with their stories 💗💗💗💗

Listen I lost it over Mischa Barton being on the podcast and now I am once again losing my fucking mind over Ben McKenzie being on it!! YAY FOR MARISSA AND RYAN FROM THE OC

Update: Ben’s comment on Rachel’s IG post is everything (still team Ryissa though 😆) ⬇️

"The night [3x25] aired, we heard from people who watched the show and they were pissed. They loved that character, were in on Ryan and Marissa, were in on the Core Four, and it felt like we had violated something sacrosanct for them as viewers." - JS

We ended up using on Gossip Girl actually where the chorus is part of the song. So the songs kind of lived on in multiple versions. -Josh Schwartz

As bad as things got and as devious as they were, they always found their way back to each other. I think that idea of coming in from not being the obvious romantic couple from the beginning of the show, to evolving into something way more, was really fun to watch and satisfying for audiences. They had that wicked quality to them. They both knew how to deliver a joke. We wrote it like Benedict and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing, and, as mentioned before, a little bit of the Dangerous Liaisons quality. There was a lot of good inspiration driving us.
