The OC

Maybe Taylor and Ryan should hook up. That will make Ryan smile

[flutterby]

I haven't been keen of any of Ryan's love interests except Marissa to be honest. I think it's mainly because they were set up from the start as a 'meant to be' couple, and now that Mischa has left it's backfired on them. IMO they have a huge problem. It's not like Dawson's Creek where they successfully managed to have two love interests who divided fans; Marissa and Ryan stood head and shoulders above any of his other pairings. Theresa is probably the best of the rest, and I have a feeling her baby will turn out to be Ryan's after all (is it just me, or was anyone else not convinced when she said she'd had a paternity test done?). But I'm sad that we won't get the ending we were meant to have.

^^ No, it's not just you! They baby was the spitting image of Ryan, if Theresa and Eddie had a baby I'm sure it would have darker hair because both of them have dark hair! You're right, Marisa and Ryan were set up from the first time they met to be 'meant to be'. Saying that I didn't ming Sadie with Ryan for a while. ?Hated Lindsay all she did was whine.

^^ That would make me smile but I'm not sure Ryan could cope!

I actually think Taylor and Ryan could work really well. The comedy element of Taylor's character could really lighten Ryan up. It would be a big risk, but it couldn't be any worse than Ryan and Lindsay (who is never mentioned anymore, despite being Kirsten's sister).

I fear they might forever be trying to get someone to work with Ryan, because, as Claire_Louise said, they set Marissa and Ryan up to be soul mates, but then, as Mischa wanted to leave, that kind of went down the drain.

There are some fans that support the Lindsay/Ryan ship, the Teresa/Ryan ship, and even the Sadie/Ryan ship...

Apparently Sadie is a possibility for turning up during Season Four

but many fans supported Ryan and Marissa.

I really do hope Ryan isn't thrust into a new relationship any time soon during Season 4, because, despite everything, I think he will be the one truly effected by her death, and if the writers don't play it that way, I think we'll be cheated again.

Having said that, Season Four spoilers ahead.

Ryan no longer lives with the Cohans, not is he at college. He's working full time, supporting himself. Seth is working at a comic book place, and Summer has left and gone to Brown. Apparently when they said we wouldn't see the aftermath, they meant it. What's left of the awesome foursome are seperated, and who knows what that will do to their friendship.

Also, there are mentions of Caitlin (yay!) and a set of twins, who are apparently Luke's younger brothers. If they pull it off, I think I might just get interested again. Maybe theres even a chance of having Luke back for a couple of episodes... or Anna, as Summer is at Brown.

Didn't Josh say that in season four they're focusing more on Katlins age group at school now? We still see Ryan, Seth and Summer, just not as much... Did anyone else hear/read that or was that just me?

Yes Josh did say that a couple of weeks before the season finale aired in America.

[claire_louise]

It sounds terrible.

Well series 4 is only going for 16 episodes anyway and may probably be the last.

That's it. If there won't be any more Summer, I'll be turning off the OC completly.
