It's the show we can't stop talking about, the show that has made Tuesday night TV night again. The O.C. has the juiciest story lines and the hottest cast (so many cute guys, so little time!) and we're hooked. Whether you're already addicted or need a primer, check out our profiles of the main cast members and you'll be ready to dive right in next Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on Fox.
Who: Summer Roberts, played by Rachel Bilson
In five words her character is: A superficial, self-absorbed rich girl
Who is she? The 20-year-old is a Californian girl born and bred, so it's no surprise that she got bitten by the acting bug. After trying her hand at theater and a bunch of guests roles on TV shows, Rachel snagged the part of sexy, spoiled Summer Roberts the ultimate Newport Beach party girl.
Where we've seen her:Buffy the Vampire Slayer,8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter
Why we like to watch her: Summer's the girl you love to hate. Apart from her cute face and killer bod, we've got no idea why Seth's so obsessed with her. We like to think he's way deeper than that, so maybe there's a side of Summer that's yet to be revealed... we can't wait.
