Line 6:
** Tate Donovan has been rather critical of the show's younger actors in interviews following his departure from the show.
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Josh Schwartz was jaded by pressure from some fans and [[Executive Meddling]] and seemingly zoned out during Season 3.
* [[Dawson Casting]]:
** Benjamin Mackenzie, Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, and Autumn Reeser were all in their early to mid twenties playing teenagers. Lampshaded in "The L.A.".
{{quote|'''Ryan''' (speaking of the star from the [[Show Within a Show]]): How does that guy play high school?
'''Seth''': It's ''Hollywood'', man.}}
** Averted with the Coopers. Mischa Barton was 17 playing 16 and Willa Holland was 14 playing 14.
* [[Defictionalization]]: Before the series, "O.C." was sometimes used in print as shorthand for "Orange County", but very rarely in speech, and never prefixed with a "the". Many Orange County residents scoffed at the show's title, but over the years, some of them really do refer to the region "the O.C." without irony.
* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[One Tree Hill]]''. The latter lasted longer, but ''The O.C.'' is usually thought to be the better of the two.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Resulted in the end of the Marissa/Alex lesbian relationship. Also, apparently a big factor for the quality decline in Season 3, as Fox wanted something 'promotable' to happen every week. The writers once got a note that said, "This is Fox, not Fox Searchlight."
* [[Fake American]]/[[Fake Nationality]]: Kelly Rowan is Canadian.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0828177/ Steve-O] as an insane Marine Seth meets and drinks with in Mexico (4x02).
Line 14 ⟶ 20:
** [[Twilight|Rosalie Hale]] plays one of Ryan's girlfriends and James plays the antagonist of Season 3 {{spoiler|who kills Marissa}}.
** Apparently when Taylor was a kid she looked like a younger version of [[Shake It Up|CeCe]].
* [[McLeaned]]: Marissa Cooper was killed off at the end of Season 3, right around the time her actress Mischa Barton left the show.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The writers tried to get Trey to return in Season 4 to finish his story arc. In the same season, [[Al Gore]] was supposed to be Summer's GEORGE recruiter, but had scheduling differences.▼
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Kaitlin Cooper, Trey Atwood, and Theresa's mother.
** Kaitlin's Other Darrin was lampshaded when Ryan didn't recognize her after she returned.
* [[Romance on the Set]]: Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson were engaged in real life.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: For Rachel Bilson; to a lesser degree for Benjamin McKenzie & Autumn Reeser.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Kaitlin was reintroduced in Season 3 with a view to creating a spin-off following Kaitlin and her friends at boarding school. This was then retooled into keeping Kaitlin as a main cast member in the fourth season so they could keep the high school drama aspect of the show after the original group had graduated.
** The writers tried to get Trey to return in Season 4 to finish his story arc.
