Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper)

Mischa Barton's real-life drama appears to have kept up with her on-screen mischief. In 2007, she was arrested for driving under the influence and marijuana possession. In 2009, while seeking medical attention for a tooth ache, Mischa was put into involuntary psychiatric confinement when a psychiatrist deemed her a danger to herself. She was also sued by her landlord in 2010 for refusing to pay rent.

Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood)

From 2003 to 2007, he was America's favorite bad boy! He currently stars in Fox's hit show Gotham, and previously appeared on NBC's Southland. His puppy dog eyes still make us swoon! ~sigh~

Adam Brody (Seth Cohen)

Seth Cohen's nerdy charm, luscious brunette locks, and deep brown eyes proved to America that it's not always the bad boys who steal women's hearts! While we all wanted Seth and Summer to end up together, in real life, he married Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester in 2014. The pair are expecting their first child. So we guess that makes them teen soap opera royalty…

Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts)

It's hard to believe that Summer Roberts is now a mom (to daughter Briar Rose, whom she welcomed into the world with husband Hayden Christensen in 2014). She still acts, starring on The CW show, Hart of Dixie. The actress has also tried her hand at fashion design and has partnered with brands like DKNY and Steve Madden.

Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen)

Sandy Cohen: the best nice guy and adoptive dad to troubled teenagers in the history of TV! These days, Peter Gallagher has left the TV world and is currently on Broadway starring alongside Kristen Chenoweth in the popular show, On the Twentieth Century. We still love his eyebrows.

Kelly Rowan (Kristen Cohen)

Kelly Rowan is still working in TV and has been on shows like CSI: Miami and TNT's Perception. In 2008, she gave birth to a daughter, but broke off her engagement to partner David Thomas.

Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper)

The classic troubled mother-daughter relationship was perfected by Julie and Marissa Cooper. Melinda Clarke has continued to work in TV on hit shows like Nikita, Entourage, and CSI.

8 of 10

Tate Donovan (Jimmy Cooper)

Before Tate Donovan played Jimmy Cooper, you might remember him as Rachel's boyfriend Joshua on Friends (and he actually dated Jennifer Aniston in real life!). These days, he's still working in film and TV and has made appearances in Argo and Nancy Drew.

Chris Carmack (Luke Ward)

Come on, say it with us: "Welcome to the O.C., b-tch!" While playing Luke Ward, Chris Carmack was also a model for Abercrombie & Fitch. He's continued acting since the conclusion of the show, and appeared on series such as Nashville. He told The Huffington Post that after his character was written off The O.C., he didn't keep in touch with anyone, even revealing that Ben McKenzie was mean to him!

10 of 10

Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend)

Autumn is still acting and has been on shows like HBO's Entourage. She's also appeared alongside former costar Rachel Bilson in her series, Hart of Dixie. Now, 34, she has two sons, Finneus and Dashiell.
