LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Dennis Hopper, "The O.C.'s" Chris Carmack and a bunch of Pontiac cars will star in a movie about to begin production for the USA Network.
The film, called "The Last Ride," focuses on the conflict between three generations of men in a family of gearheads. USA is producing the film in partnership with General Motors. The movie will prominently feature new and classic versions of the Pontiac GTO.

Executive producer Rob Cohen, the director of "The Fast and the Furious" and "XXX," says he conceived the idea while directing commercials for the new GTO. He pitched it to USA, which quickly snapped it up.

"We're thrilled to be working with Rob Cohen, a terrific filmmaker whose passion for cars and penchant for action come together beautifully in this project," says Laurette Hayden, who oversees movies and miniseries for the network.

"The Last Ride" is set in motion when Ronnie (Hopper) gets out of prison after serving a 30-year sentence. He hits the streets seeking vengeance against Darryl (Fred Ward, "The Right Stuff"), the cop who arrested him. Complicating matters is the fact that Darryl adopted Ronnie's son Aaron (Will Patton, "Remember the Titans"), who's now a cop as well.

Carmack plays Aaron's son Matt, who idolizes his grandfather and wants to help Ronnie carry out his plan.

Pontiac has been involved in the project's development and will give the movie a big marketing push when it airs later this year. "Pontiac and GM will concentrate on making this a 'must-see' event through creative marketing and promotion," GM's Steve Tihanyi says. "... This level of collaboration is exactly the type of commitment we like to bring to the table."

Production is scheduled to begin later this month in San Diego. Guy Norman Bee ("Las Vegas," "Alias") will direct the film from Ron McGee's ("Atomic Twister") script.

Thank you Jess for this information:

Samaire Amstrong is going to be on Hanson's new video Penny and Me in the role of Penny. "Samaire truly embodies the essence of the character we always envisioned for Penny when we first wrote the song," Taylor Hanson said in a statement. Hanson's new album 'Underneath' is released on April 20th.

The video has not premiered yet but be on the look-out!!

So everyone who is lucky enough not to have Echostar, watch any and all music television programs and look throughout the site for a few pics that Jess sent in with Samaire & Hanson. Also, if you are in dire need of more info, check out hanson.net!

Is anyone noticing a trend with the ladies from The O.C.? Rachel was in a music video, then Micha and now Samaire. Micha promotes Neutragena, Rachel promotes Bongo and Samaire promotes her own clothing line. Are these some incredible young women on the show or what!
____________________

I contacted our friend Ruby in Australia for news on The O.C. on Channel Nine. So far, there has been no word from Channel Nine or anywhere else. They are keeping to there rhetoric that it will be back soon and that's all the network is willing to say.

So please, keep signing any and all petitions you can find, including this one.

Ryan, Marissa, and Seth are thrown out of the club. Summer is also there with someone named Grady. Something doesn't go as planned, and Summer asks Seth to go back to New Port. Ryan and Marissa sneak back in the club to get Hailey. They get intro trouble and the manager and bouncer are about to hit Ryan when... Jimmy saves the day! Will they hit a kid in front of paparazzi?

Seth and Summer talk about room design. Summer comments on the fact that Seth doesn't like Home Depot, cries during chick flicks... what next... walking in on Ryan changing?

Sandy inquires why the restaurant's liquor license has been re-neged. Sandy says he can't open the restaurant if he can't serve liquor because New Port residents are borderline alcoholics and that is where profit is made. They did indeed provide all the required paperwork but the newly appointed commissioner, a man named Steve Peiser, was one of the men Jimmy was giving financial advice to and stole a quarter of a million from...

stogster:

I don't think this has been mentioned...Episode 124 is titled "The Shower." Julie & Caleb have a wedding shower. In what I have read so far it does not mention her being pregnant but that would make almost make sense, since a wedding seems to be happening fast.

Also Eddie apparently hits Theresa and Ryan confronts him about it.

these r true

Ryan and Marrisa get back together in the proposal
caleb proposes to julie (thats all i am going to say ;D)
we find out that kirsten is pregnant

scene from the proposal

***Ryan sits on the couch, watching TV. Marissa comes up behind him, leans over the couch… Kissing him…

MARISSA: So what do you want for lunch? I can do mac and cheese or … mac and cheese…

RYAN: Tough choice…

MARISSA: (smiles, kissing him) I forgot how… fun this was …**

22. The L.A.

INT. MERMAID INN - FRONT OFFICE -- CONTINUOUS (D1)

A MANAGER, male (60's), sitting behind the front desk, looks up.

RYAN: Hi. I called earlier. About a watch that was left here --

The Manager nods. Ambles off. None too friendly.

SETH: I guess the seventy-nine dollars a night doesn't include warmth and good cheer. (off Ryan -- still off) Dammit. I'm in a spiral. What if I can't get back... on.

RYAN: It's impossible. You? C'mon.

SETH: Dude. Mock if you like. But you need me. I'm all you got.

The Manager returns. Watch in hand.

MANAGER: Room two-one-two right? (Ryan nods) Such a nice girl that was staying there. Beautiful, too. Your girlfriend?

OFF RYAN -- salt in the wounds...

SETH: And? Now we're both in a spiral.

RYAN: (takes the watch) No. She's not. Thanks.

MANAGER: A girl like that... You would be a lucky man if you could --

SETH: (jumping in) Okay! Thanks for your time. [crossed out]Or his time. Time piece that is --[/crossed out]

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

INT. DEEP -- NIGHT (N2)

Ryan and Hailey remain almost nose to nose.

RYAN: What are you --

HAILEY: What are you --

A club manager, JESSE (30's), comes by. Nice Armani suit. Wanted to be an actor, never worked out, now he just acts like an asshole.

JESSE: Keep it moving, Hailey. Couples pay extra...

Hailey nods. Forces a nervous smile. Turns to Ryan.

HAILEY: Gotta go...

She straightens -- moves on... Takes a look back at Ryan. Ryan turns to Marissa.

MARISSA: Do you know her or --

RYAN: That's Kirsten's sister.

MARISSA: Hailey?

Hailey disappears into the crowd. They look at each other.

MARISSA: (CONT'D) What do we do?

RYAN: I'm not sure... Where's Seth?

As they head off into the club --

INT. DEEP - V.I.P. AREA -- CONTINUOUS (N2)

Another part of the club. Summer with Grady. Hi-fiving everyone around him... Grady scopes Summer out...

*

SETH: Dude. You got a clean slate. I'd procure yourself with a little private dance with -- (suddenly horrified) Omigod. It's Hailey!

Hailey has turned. Sees Seth. This just got worse...

RYAN: That's what I wanted to tell you.

Seth crosses to Hailey. Ryan and Marissa follow.

SETH: What are you doing?

HAILEY: What are you doing? Does your mom know you're here?

SETH: Does she know you're here?

HAILEY: She doesn't care. That's why she cut me off and threw me out.

RYAN: Look -- I'm sure if she knew what you were doing, she'd change her mind --

HAILEY: What's wrong with what I'm doing? I make good money. I'm on my own --

SETH: You can't be a stripper. You're someone's aunt. Mine! Look. Let me just grab my girlfriend, we'll figure it out --

Jesse appears. Not happy.

JESSE: Get out of here. What, are you tired? You didn't do enough coke today?

He takes her arm. Rough. The kids are thrown by this...

HAILEY: (embarrassed) Jesse, lay off. Come on.

SETH: That's a relative of mine.

JESSE: Move it, Hailey. Back to work.

RYAN: Why don't you quit telling her what to do --

JESSE: Excuse me? You gotta problem?

RYAN: Yeah. I do.

SETH: No. He doesn't. We just need to grab my girlfriend, grab my aunt -- more gently than say, you -- and we're leaving --

JESSE: No. You're leaving. Right now.

EXT. DEEP -- NIGHT (N2)

Jesse FORCES the kids out the front door. A BOUNCER by the velvet rope.

JESSE: I don't want to see these guys back in my club.

Jesse goes back. THE DOOR SLAMS SHUT. The BOUNCER looming before them. OFF THREE KIDS -- what now?

END OF ACT THREE

JULIE: This bottle is empty. I'll get another.

Caleb turns away. Julie spins. Nose to nose (through glass) with Luke. She head nods to her right -- crosses off --

INT. COHEN HOUSE - KITCHEN -- CONTINOUS (N2)

Julie strides quickly through the kitchen to the family room. Bypassing Marco and his Prep Cooks. Lands at the door by the family room table. Luke lands with her. Her shadow, indeed. She opens the door -- whispering --

JULIE: What the hell are you doing here?

LUKE: We need to talk.

JULIE: Wait outside my house. Hide in the bushes or something. Go.

She slams the door shut. Looks at Marco. Smiles. Calm.

EXT. DEEP - V.I.P. ENTRANCE -- NIGHT (N2)

Marissa with a BOUNCER (ED). A few other hipsters want in.

ED: (to Marissa) I told you. V.I.P.'s only --

Ryan approaches. Unsure of what's next. Marissa sees him.

MARISSA: Omigod. OH. MY. GOD. (hugs Ryan) I love you so much. You're my favorite character -- (to Ed) Do you watch The Valley?

ED: No. I have a job.

MARISSA: He is the best. You are -- (takes him in) A little shorter than I imagined. But still. So hot.

RYAN: Thanks...

ED: You here for the party?

Ryan nods. As Ed unclips the rope --

MARISSA: It would mean so much if I could come with you -- I love your show --

Ryan looks at Ed. Ed smiles. Leans in to Ryan.

ED: Take advantage, kid. You're only a teen idol once.

Ed waves them both in. Marissa giddy. As they enter.

INT. ESCALADE/EXT. DEEP - PARING LOT - NIGHT (N2)

Summer, now bored, sits next to Grady. Watching the TV.

SUMMER: I can't believe we're watching dailies...

GRADY: Which take do you like? I think my performance was better in that one. But my lighting wasn't as good --

SUMMER: I don't know. And we should get back to the party. This is boring.

GRADY: We could listen to some music --

Grady punches some buttons on the backseat radio. Awful garage rock comes blaring out --

SUMMER: What's this?

GRADY: My band. This is our first CD. (slides close to her) I like you, Summer. I'm a big fan of yours --

As he leans in to kiss her -- on Summer -- ew! Pushes him.

SUMMER: What are you doing?

GRADY: What do you --

Suddenly the back door opens. Seth stands there.

SUMMER: Seth!

SETH: Summer! I heard some awful music. Figured it must be the toilings of self-indulgent actors with instruments. (beat) What are you doing?

SUMMER: Leaving.

Suddenly the other back door opens. Reveals a cute girl, APRIL, (20s). Actress.

APRIL: Grady. There you are!

GRADY: April. Hi!

SUMMER: Omigod. You're on the show. You are so rad.

APRIL: What are you doing with her?

Grady begins to stammer an apology. Caught --

SUMMER: Wait. You two are dating? (off their looks) Isn't that a bad idea? I mean, what if things don't work out and you guys break up? Won't that be bad for the show?

APRIL: I guess we're about to find out!

She storms off --

GRADY: April. Wait!

He jumps out of the truck. Chases after her. Summer looks at Seth. She takes his hand.

SUMMER: I'm sorry. Let's go home, Seth. Someplace with real people...

SETH: You think we're gonna find those at home? We live in Newport Beach... (off her look) Let's just get out of L.A.

INT. DEEP -- NIGHT (N2)

Ryan and Marissa navigate the club -- see Hailey come out of the bathroom. In jeans and a tank top. Sees them.

HAILEY: What are you guys doing?

RYAN: We came back to get you.

HAILEY: You guys are really sweet with this whole, "Save the Stripper" campaign. But I'm fine -- (sees Jesse) Go. Quick. Before he sees you --

MARISSA: Not without you --

Jesse clocks them. Bee-lines.

JESSE: What the hell are you doing back here? Huh?

HAILEY: Jesse. C'mon --

He shoves Ryan. Ryan shoves Jesse back.

JESSE: Okay, we're gonna have a problem --

EXT. DEEP -- NIGHT (N2)

Jesse tosses Ryan out. As Ryan steps up to him -- the big Bouncer steps in. Marissa and Hailey follow.

JESSE: What are you gonna do now -- ?

Ryan's head is chest level with the bouncer. He's not going to do much.

JIMMY: (O.C.) What are you gonna do? Hit a kid?

Ryan, Marissa and Hailey turn to see Jimmy approach.

JIMMY: (CONT'D) In front of all these paparazzi? Wouldn't be such a good idea.

MARISSA: Dad.

Jimmy walks up. Puts his arm around her.

JESSE: What are you, the dad?

JIMMY: What are you? The guy who's my age and still thinks he's 25?

Jesse fumes. Clearly this has hit home.

JESSE: Keep your kids out of my club.

JUDE'S "OUT OF L.A."

Jesse skulks off. Seth and Summer come around the corner of the club --

SUMMER: Omigod! You guys!

JIMMY: Why don't you guys head back? I'll give Hailey a lift...

Marissa and Ryan nod. As they walk towards Seth and Summer -- they turn back to see -- JIMMY and HAILEY hug. Marissa and Ryan share a look... Huh... On JIMMY and HAILEY --

boogaru02: 24. The Proposal

SETH: (surveys room) If you did put a mirror against that opposing wall, it would help the energy flow. I see where you're going with this –

SUMMER: Yeah. To Home Depot

SETH: (ech) Home Depot? With like the grouting, and bolts and skill saws?

SUMMER: Doesn't like Home Depot. Cries during chick flicks. What – next you're gonna tell me you're walking in on Ryan changing?

SETH: (forced laughter) What? That is crazy Summer. (beat, serious) Home Depot. Let's do this …

INT. BALBOA LIGHTHOUSE – LATER (D2)

Sandy helps hang a GRAND OPENING banner as other WAIT STAFF sets up, when PETER JOHNSON, in a suit, enters.

SANDY: Hey. Peter Johnson, right? From the Liquor Board –

PETER: (dry as always) Hello, Mr. Cohen.

SANDY: I knew you looked familiar from when you came by a month ago, inspected the place, and granted us a liquor license.

PETER: I'm late for a scheduled appointment.

SANDY: No small talk. Got it. (beat) Craziest thing. Opened my mail and it said liquor license had been reneged.

PETER: Yes.

SANDY: Yes – that's crazy?

PETER: Yes. Your license has been re-neged

SANDY: My restaurant opens tomorrow, and if we can't serve liquor, there's no way this place will turn a profit. This is Newport Beach. You know everyone here is borderline alcoholic.

PETER: I'm sorry, Mr. Cohen.

SANDY: I don't understand. We did everything we were supposed to. Handed in bank statements. Filled out all the paperwork. Even got fingerprinted –

PETER: That's before your file landed in front of the newly appointed Commisioner. (off Sandy – and?) The name Steve Peiser mean anything to you?

SANDY: No.

PETER: Well, it might to Jimmy Cooper. Turns out Cooper was Commissioner Peiser's financial advisor. Before he stole a quarter of million dollars from him.

SANDY: You're kidding.

PETER: It was that financial loss that drove my boss out of retirement and back to work. He saw Cooper's name on the file and said no way.

SANDY: Well. We'll fight it –

PETER: Go ahead. But legally, no convicted felon is allowed to be granted a liquor license

SANDY: Jimmy's never been convicted –

PETER: Because he made partial restitution before anyone could press charges. You press your luck? Mr. Cooper will find himself in a courtroom. (off Sandy) You want my advice? Have Mr. Cooper step down.

SANDY: I can't do that.

PETER: Well then, there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry.

Peter exits. OFF SANDY -- reeling…

INT. JIMMY COOPER'S APARTMENT – DAY (D2)

Ryan sits on the couch. Watching TV. Marissa comes up behind him, leans over the couch… Kissing him…

MARISSA: So what do you want for lunch? I can do mac and cheese or … mac and cheese…

RYAN: Tough choice…

MARISSA: (smiles, kissing him) I forgot how… fun this was …

boogaru02: 25. The Shower

JIMMY (CONT'D): And hey. Think about it. All that meatloaf you'd be making? Off your hands. Now you got time. For work.
SANDY: Exactly what I was trying to get away from.
JIMMY: I mean, real work. The stuff you love. Rescuing kids. Or down-and-out guys millions of dollars in debt. Come on, there's probably a stray out there right now -- just waiting for you to swoop in and save the day.

Jimmy smiles at Sandy. Who's lost in thought -- undoubtedly thinking of Theresa...

INT. YACHT CLUB - DINING ROOM -- DAY (D2)
Seth, Summer, and NEIL ROBERTS (Summer's dad, good-looking, 50's) are seated at a table. Seth nervously chews on ROLL.

SETH: And so, basically? I decided I wanted to celebrate both holidays. So I combined them to make...Chrismukkah.

A few awkward beats pass... Seth's story flopped.

SUMMER: Like Christmas and Hanukkah. Chrismukkah.
NEIL: Chrismukkah. Well, that must be a lot of fun for you.

Another painfully long beat... Seth sweats.

SETH: But I don't want you to think I'm all about holiday cheer. I have hobbies. Interests.
NEIL: (didn't ask) Do you...
SETH: Yes. Comic books for one.
NEIL: Comic books?
SETH: I hear the skepticism in your tone, sir, but I consider the comic book to be a legitimate art form. (Summer wants to die) Frank Miller's Sin City? Powers by Brian Bendis -- arguably the best writer in comics today. Combines the storytelling panache of Stan Lee with the lyrical sophistication of Alan Moore.

Neil regards Seth as if he's a lunatic. Summer is under the table. Seth tries to save things...

SETH (CONT'D): Probably a little obscure. Okay. But I'm sure you're a fan of Superman? No? Batman? Iceman? He can freeze things. Can be very handy if your... (dying) ...refrigerator breaks.

Seth forces a laugh. The only sound in the room other than his heartbeat. Neil takes a beat. And then turns to Summer.

NEIL: So, Summer -- how's school treating you?
SETH: Summer's the best, isn't she? A real force of nature. A live wire.
NEIL: (smiles) Yes, she is.
SETH: (encouraged) I mean. Look at her. With the vim. And the vigor. What do you think, more vim or more vigor? In your opinion?
SUMMER: Cohen, what are you talking about?
SETH: I'm saying you've been extraordinarily blessed with vim. (losing faith) And vigor. Too.
NEIL: (no idea how to respond) Why don't we order?

Neil motions for the waiter. OFF SETH -- uneasy...

*

INT. COHEN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- DAY (D2)
Shower preparations in full swing. Kirsten and AUNT CINDY (sassy, attractive, 30's) are writing place-cards.

CINDY: ...but remember, we're off-our-asses wasted and totally lost in the woods. And I gotta go like nobody's business. So I ended up dropping trou right there. Sure enough? Poison oak. Everywhere. Julie tells the whole school. What a bitch, right?
KIRSTEN: Yes. And what a... charming story.
CINDY: Good times... (pulls out a cigarette) Mind if I smoke?
KIRSTEN: Actually I kinda --

But it's too late. Cindy's already lit up.

CINDY: Sorry. I tried to quit once but I ended up putting on thirty pounds, and who wants to have sex with that?

Kirsten doesn't know quite how to respond. And then Ryan and Marissa arrive.

MARISSA: Aunt Cindy!
CINDY: My, oh my. Look at you.
MARISSA: This is my boyfriend, Ryan.
RYAN: Hey.
KIRSTEN: Cindy's been helping me with the shower. And sharing some priceless stories about your mom.
CINDY: I was just telling her about Julie's Def Leppard phase.
MARISSA: (chuckling) My mom was into Def Leppard?
CINDY: Sure. Used to always drag me to Anaheim to help scalp tickets.
RYAN: I can't believe your mom was into heavy metal.
KIRSTEN: I can't believe your mom went to Anaheim.
CINDY: So where is the belle of the ball? Doing Yoga? Gettin' botox?

Kirsten attempts a look at Marissa, who avoids eye contact.

KIRSTEN: So you and Julie -- you talk often?
CINDY: Sure. If you call once every seven years often. (big laugh) I'll hand it to you straight -- I was shocked she wanted me here.
KIRSTEN: (looking at Marissa) You were?
CINDY: Sure. Last time I saw her -- and memory's a little foggy thanks to Senor Cuervo -- I'm pretty sure she told me to get lost. For good.
KIRSTEN: (realizes something's off) Marissa? Could I see you in the --
JULIE: (O.C) What the hell are you doing here?

Julie stands in the doorway. Furious. Kirsten realizes her hunch was right -- Cindy was not a welcome guest here. She looks at Marissa -- who smiles to herself.

CINDY: Nice to see you, too. I'm here because I was invited. By Marissa.
JULIE: Marissa. Is this true?
MARISSA: Um, I gotta -- we're late.
RYAN: For the bakery. The cake.

Marissa and Ryan make a hasty exit, leaving Cindy, Julie and Kirsten staring at each other.

KIRSTEN: You guys want some alone time? To catch up?

EXT. COHEN HOUSE - FRONT DOOR -- DAY (D2)
Hailey and Jimmy walk up to the front step. Hand in hand. Hailey stops -- turns to Jimmy to rehearse one last time.

HAILEY: So, we just say, we're very happy together.
JIMMY: And we hope you can be happy for us.
HAILEY: Easy.

Hailey stops again.

JIMMY: Hailey -- door's right there.
HAILEY: I know. I hate sneaking around. And the sooner we tell my sister, the sooner I can stop feeling guilty.
JIMMY: So...door?

ACT FOUR
FADE IN:

EXT. EDDIE'S HOUSE -- DAY (D3)

RYAN pounds on Eddie's door. Eddie opens it. Before he can react -- Ryan GRABS him by the collar. Pulls him outside. SLAMS him up against the wall.

RYAN: You touch her ever again -- and I will kill you? You hear me?
EDDIE: (freaked) Calm down, man. Come on. (another shove from Ryan) Please. Just let me explain...
RYAN: What excuse could you have?

Eddie pushes past Ryan. Collapses onto the front stoop. His face crumples. Ryan, realizes -- he's crying... OFF RYAN -- what to do now...?

INT. YACHT CLUB -- DAY (D3)
As the shower continues...the guests have gathered to watch Julie and Caleb open GIFTS. Kirsten and Cindy stand in back.

JULIE: (pulling it out of the box) Look Cal, it's a juicer.

Yawns all around. Kirsten surveys the dozens of gifts waiting to be opened. This could be a real party killer.

KIRSTEN: (to Cindy) Is it me, or is this party a --
CINDY: A snoozefest? Yeah. I feel like a cow -- I've learned to sleep standing up. How 'bout a game? (to the crowd) Okay folks -- anyone here ever "How Well Do You Know Them?"
JULIE: (freaking out) Cindy, I think everyone here knows us. It wouldn't be any fun.
CINDY: Okay. I'm gonna be Chuck Woolery. Now, I'm going to ask a question. And whoever shouts out the most right answers, wins.

The crowd murmurs enthusiastically. Relieved for a break.

JULIE: Cal -- make her stop this.
CALEB: JuJu, have a sense of humor. She's your sister.
CINDY: Okay. Question one. What is Julie's favorite meal?
JOAN: I know this -- chilean sea bass and roasted baby carrots.
CINDY: No. The answer is the number three Super Valu-Meal at Burger King. Double Whopper, medium fries, Dr. Pepper. Next question -- growing up, who was Julie's first love?
LYNN: Rick Springfield!

The room chuckles.

CINDY: Close. The defensive line of our eighth grade football team!

This silences the crowd. Julie's had enoguh. She rises.

JULIE: I refuse to sit here and be humiliated.

As Julie blows out of there, she passes Marissa...

JULIE: (CONT'D) I hope you got what you wanted...
MARISSA: You always do.

Julie stung, marches out.

CINDY: (a touch of guilt) Julie, wait.

Caleb follows Julie out. Guests look at each other. Guess this shower's over... OFF MARISSA -- on a day of feeling bad, she now feels worse...

EXT. EDDIE'S HOUSE -- DAY (D3)
Ryan and Eddie sit side by side on the stoop.

EDDIE: ...and they fired me for no reason, you know. And I cashed out my last check at the bar... I felt like such a loser... failure... and I took it out on the one person I love...
RYAN: What about the other times?
EDDIE: It was just once, man.. and I know... there's no excuse. I let everyone down. Theresa, you, everyone. Sometimes I just get so scared and I...lose it...

Ryan softens a bit. Hard to see his friend like this. Sandy's BMW pulls up. Sandy and Theresa climb out. Worried that Ryan's already handled this with his fists...

EDDIE: (CONT'D) Theresa. You're back.

He tries to give her a hug. Ryan steps between them.

THERESA: I'm not back. I'm here for Ryan.
SANDY: (to Ryan) You're in a hell of a lot of trouble. We'll talk about it on the way home.

Ryan gets it. As Sandy motions -- it's time to go.

RYAN: (to Eddie) I meant what I said.

Eddie nods at him -- knows he's serious. Then shifts his attention to Theresa.

*

KIRSTEN: Is that so hard to believe? She's been competing with me since we were kids.
JIMMY: (gently) Kirsten... it's not about you. Hailey and me. It's real.

ON KIRSTEN -- she hadn't considered this.

KIRSTEN: You're doing so well. I don't want to see you --
JIMMY: (gently) Happy? Because that's what I am. I don't fall easily. You know that.
KIRSTEN: And you...are? Falling?
JIMMY: (smiles, realizing) Yeah.

OFF KIRSTEN -- confused, wishes she could be happier for him...

INT. YACHT CLUB - LOBBY -- DAY (D3)
Cindy looks through the lobby until she finds Julie.

JULIE: How much do you want?
CINDY: How much what?
JULIE: How much money? That's what you came here for, isn't it?
CINDY: It's always about money with you, Jules. Always has been.
JULIE: You resent me because I got out. And you're right where I left you.
CINDY: I resent you because you checked out on me as soon as you got rich.
JULIE: So, what do you want from me, Cindy?
CINDY: I want you to remember you had a life before all this. You have a family. And a past. You had big hair. You wore tight jeans. And you drank too much SoCo in Jr. High. Deal with it.
JULIE: I have worked too hard and have been through too much to let your jealousy get in my way.
CINDY: I don't want your life. I want my sister back. Invite me to the wedding. Stop being ashamed of who you are.
CALEB: (O.C.) Of course you're invited to the wedding.

Caleb comes forward. Julie's horrified. How long was he listening? He hands Cindy her COAT.

CALEB: (CONT'D) We wouldn't have it any other way.
CINDY: Thanks. (sees she's intruding) I'll be outside.

Cindy and Julie share a glance. Cindy exits.

JULIE: Well, I'm sure you found Cindy's visit... revealing.
CALEB: Julie. There's nothing I could find out about you that could make me walk away. (off Julie -- nervous) Believe it or not, I have a past, too. (helping her with her coat) Wasn't into monster trucks, but I had my gulity pleasures.

stogster:

Marissa does introduce Ryan as her boyfriend to her Aunt Cindy.

That's the only indication I've seen that they are back together. But there are spoilers from people who have access to more than sides.

slidingkat:
Why should Julie care ifCaleb knows she had sex with Luke who is 18. Caleb is much older than Julie and was having sex with someone who was 24 in The Girlfriend. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black. The thing about the O.C. is they have done numerous age gap couples: Caleb & girlfirend, girlfriend & Ryan, Caleb & Julie, Julie & Luke, and now we have Demi Moore coming to gueststar. Maybe Luke can get her too...

boogaru02 :
Ryan & Marissa and Seth & Summer go to a sad sad movie.
The three are being super nice to Marissa because she knows that Luke is hooking up with her mother.
They go to Jamba Juice and see Luke & Julie meeting there. Marissa turns and leaves, followed by Ryan, then Seth & Summer.
Julie is humiliated and leaves, and Luke is alone. Then Ryan and Marissa are in her Jeep, trying to call Luke, who is now parked at a baseball field drinking and listening to Bob Seger.
After Luke & Ryan talk, a drunk Luke starts kicking his truck; then crying, exhausted, & frustrated.
He gets into the truck & calls Julie. He says she owes him a goodbye, that he's leaving tomorrow, and that she's all he has left.
Marissa tries calling Luke again, just as they see red flashing lights and an ambulance.
It's Luke's truck, plowed into a telephone pole...Luke's head has hit the windshield...

Marissa father is revealed to be.... DRUMROLL PLEASE
Sandy. Per the new edition of TV Guide, Seth will find out that Marissa is his half sister on the April 28 episode of the series. He will tell Summer and only Summer. Marissa won't know for some time, and Sandy has no idea that he fathered her. It makes sense now why we saw that fatherly/daughter scene on the Valentine's episode.

boogaru02
Don't shoot the messenger. I'm only reporting what I read. It is possible that Sandy doesn't like Julie BECAUSE they have a past together and maybe she drugged him into sleeping with her or something. I'm sure they had that scene where Sandy comforts Marissa for a reason. They wanted to show that he has fatherly feelings for her even if he isn't aware of them yet. It also provides great drama for Marissa as usual. The man she always loved as her father is not her father. How will she and Jimmy react to this news? And it makes even more sense if you believe the rumor that Marissa will get leukemia. Maybe she'll need a bone marrow donor and only her real father can help her? Wouldn't that be a juicy way for the truth to get out. Anyway, the only thing we know for sure is that TV Guide is reporting that Seth will find out Sandy is Marissa's real father. Any speculation about how that's possible is just that-speculation.

boogaru02
Episode 26 is called "The Beginning"
~A baby is born
~Ryan and Marissa fight when ryan is seen with teresa, when ryan only claims he was helping her.
~Seth and Summer are still mad over the fight in episode 25
~Kirsten finds out a deadly secret about her dad

slidingkat
So if Sandy is Marissa's father...

Marissa has to move back next door.

Julie is shown as more of the "bad guy" because she didn't know who the father was and married the one with the most money.

But than Seth can never get with Marissa. Plus TV Guide has mis-reported things before in regards to Friends spoilers

slidingkat
~a baby is born?

Sorry but none of the women on the show are large enough to conceal a 34 week pregnancy.

The Sandy / Marissa thing is in the TV Guide!!!!!
Go to the store and look for yourself. I didn't read it online. Its the TV Guidefor March 6-12 2004. It has The "New" Sopranos on the cover

ZBarbi
OOMMMMIIIIIIIGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD,
I just read that in the TV Guide, that is so...ewww! I don't know how this could happen, Sandy is too good of a guy. Only It wasnt in the New Issue (for those of you that want to know) It'sin the one with RY and Coop on the cover and Itsays The OC gets even Hotter!

slidingkat
TV guide has a habit of saying things that get mis-interpreted. They take a little four or five word part of the script and report it out of context...which leads views to think something else. If you've ever followed TV Guide spoilers for Friends you'll see this happened several times.

More than likely Sandy will be Marissa's partner at a Father-Daughter dance. Or Sandy will have a father talk with Marissa. Or Seth will say "It is like you're her father"...

boogaru02
Samiares new show will determine whether or not she will return to the OC. She is still under contract for a few more episodes so, she's not completely gone yet. Her new show is called Gramercy Park, and it starts in September. If it does not do well with the ratings and gets cancelled then Samaire will come back to The OC permenently. She was offered a starring role already, but declined it to do Gramercy Park.

INT. COHEN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- DAY (D3)
A stunned Seth sits on the sofa holding his cell phone in one hand. Summer enters.

SUMMER: Cohen, what the heck happened in the hall today? You totally embarrassed me in front of my friends. I don't know if I can ever face them again.
SETH: Sorry, Spring.
SUMMER: What?
SETH: Fall, Winter, Summer. Sorry, Summer. Actually I kinda --

Summer sits beside Seth on the sofa. She grabs the cell phone from his hand.

SUMMER: Who are you calling? Because if you were calling Anna --

Seth shakes his head no. He grabs his cell phone back from her and slides onto the floor in one confused heap. He doesn't speak for several seconds. Summer opens her mouth to say something. And then Ryan and Marissa arrive.

MARISSA: Hey.
SUMMER: Hey.
RYAN: What happened today? Everything alright?

Seth jumps up and slips his cell phone into his back pocket.

SETH: Everything is great. You know me. I'm terrified of principals. It's a Jim Belushi kind of thing.

Marissa, Summer and Ryan exchange amused looks and look at Seth, who avoids eye contact with Marissa.

MARISSA: Well we were heading back to school now to work on the posters but if you're too --
SETH: No. I'm game. I'll meet you outside. I've just got to get some magic markers out of my room.
RYAN: You sure you're alright?
SETH: Positive. I've been working on campaign slogans already. How's this: With a little COOP-eration, we can turn this school around.
MARISSA: (forces a polite laugh) I like it.
RYAN: We'll be out in the car.

Summer stays behind with Seth.

SUMMER: Cohen, if you don't tell what's going on right now --
SETH: (stares after Marissa and Ryan) I lied.
SUMMER: You called Anna?
SETH: No. I called Mrs. Pierce.
