Well O.C. fans, here you were comforting yourself with the thought that Seth and Summer lived happily ever after, and Adam Brody had to rip your heart out, slice it up and feast on it.
Brody, who played the Jewish and adorkable Seth Cohen, told Nylon that his character probably would have died in the seven years since “The O.C” breathed its last.
“If I had to predict, I’d say Seth Cohen is dead,” Brody said. “I think he’d be going down to Mexico and probably had a bad car accident. It wasn’t any fault of his own, but yeah, knowing what I know now about Seth and his poor decision-making, that’s my guess.”
As the A.V. Club points out, that wouldn’t be too far off the “O.C.” plot path, whose ditches were strewn with bad decisions, drug overdoses in Tijuana, and yes, death by car crash (RIP Marissa).
But don’t bust out the Sandy Cohen bagel and schmear of self-pity just yet. Brody added that even in death, there’s an upside for Seth.
“I mean, he’s probably hanging out in heaven watching Jimi Hendrix and Lou Reed live,” he mused. “He’s probably getting the best concert ever!”

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
