Nearly two decades after Mischa Barton exited the hit teen drama in the shocking Season 3 finale, fans are still debating whether killing off Marissa was one of television’s biggest mistakes.
In later interviews, Barton explained that the pressures of fame, an exhausting shooting schedule and behind-the-scenes struggles contributed to her decision to walk away from the show.
Producers ultimately decided to kill Marissa off rather than simply write her out of Newport Beach. Years later, creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage admitted they regretted the decision and wished they had found another solution.
On Reddit, however, some fans can't get over the character death.
"Her death devastated me the first time I saw the show back when it first aired on TV," another fan of the show agreed in the thread.
Others who are just discovering The O.C. are "genuinely shocked" about Marissa's passing.
"I was ABSOLUTELY shocked just now," another chimed in. "I didn’t think she was actually going to die."
And while Season 4 developed a loyal fan base of its own, many viewers continue to associate The O.C. most strongly with Ryan and Marissa’s tragic love story.
Stream The O.C. on Hulu and HBO Max.
