The cast of “The OC” reunites in a new selfie
Melinda Clarke delighted fans of “The OC” when posted a cute selfie on Instagram with her on-screen husband Tate Donovan, who played Jimmy Cooper, and Mischa Barton, who played their daughter, Marissa Cooper.
SO IT HAPPENED! Cooper Family Reunion! My heart warmed when I saw these two, @mischabarton and @ t8dono, at @tripleellc in Charleston. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ”, the actress who played Julie Cooper signed the photo on Monday.
Barton (36) and Donovan (58) were clearly as delighted with the convention as in the commentary.
“Aww family photo – so good to meet you,” the Sixth Sense actress wrote, while Donovan added, “It was great seeing you all 😍”.
Rachel Bilson, who played the escort Summer Roberts on the show, also commented.
“And this is a chicken coop !!!! I love all 3 of these faces 🥰 ”she wrote.
Barton additionally documented the family meeting in an Instagram report by posting a photo with her “parents” as well as “Gossip Girl” alumni Chace Crawford and Jessica Szohr.
“I ran into Gossip Girl last night, what are the chances,” wrote Barton. “I’m just kidding we were there for a reason. It was great meeting my mum and dad.
Over the weekend, the stars of “The OC” and “Gossip Girl” were on Ep-ix and Chill Convention in Mt. Pleasant, SC, which also stars “Twilight” cast member Peter Facinelli, “Charmed” star Holly Marie Combs and “Teen Wolf” protagonist Tyler Posey.
The OC was a poor teen drama that ran for a total of four seasons from 2003 to 2007. It focused around Ryan Atwood (Ben Mackenzie), a restless teenager who is adopted by a wealthy couple living in Orange County. The Coopers were a dysfunctional neighborhood family.
Barton’s character maintained a relationship with Atwood and struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.
The actress dropped the show at the end of season three, resulting in a sharp drop in ratings before it was eventually canceled.
