Mischa Barton Blames her Character's Death for End of The OC
Looks like Jack Bauer isn't the only person mystified by the death of Marissa Cooper.
Mischa Barton recently had the nerve to say that the death of her character was the reason why The OC has been canceled.
The 20-year-old star is really, really thin. She also played Marissa on the teen series and died in a car accident at the end of the last season.
When asked if she was surprised that the show had been axed she told Fox News: "No. They killed me off."
We hate to break it to Mischa, but The Hollywood Gossip staff - who were huge fans of the series before it started sucking - somehow doubt viewers cared about her character's demise.
Rachel Bilson is still on it, right? Then perhaps it was the quality of the writing, and not the death of a boring character, that actually led to cancellation.

when they killed of Marissa the whole show being axed was bound to happen the whole show was based primarily Marissa, Ryan, Seth and summer so to change it that dramatically was what ended the television show which really sucked cause it was a really good show in comparison to the crap they put on the television these days.

quite frankly i think taylor was a far better main character than marissa and the fourth series was probably my favourite out of all of them!

i don't agree with this at all. and i think the fact that a big website like this posted something like this is really low and pathetic. and i 100% agree that a big reason for the show beggining to suck was because Marissa died. Yea, she's not THE MAIN CHARACTER but she IS A MAIN CHARACTER. and her and Ryan had such chemistry and everyone wanted Marissa and Ryan together. The reason people stopped watching is because they wanted Ryan w. Marissa and when she was killed off the show it made alot of the other characters unimportant and lose meaning along with it.

Poor Writing was the main reason for the cancellation. Every season did have a crazy drama with a random guy that jus falls hard for marissa. combonation killed it

Marissa was not The OC. Ryan was if anything! For me the OC was Ryan being taking in by the Cohens, it was that he literally became family, and that is what I believe the show was primarily, it was family. Sure they had Illegitimate children, lovers, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug overdoses, Shootings, Heart Attacks, Rapes(or almost rapes), Little sedan Collision with semi(yet character only had a bump on the head), alcoholism again(this time kirsten, The perfect mother), more deaths, Car accidents, cage fights (all this in the first 3 years Surprisingly season 4 was pretty calm!)- but when it came down to it, I watched it for the calm stuff. The touching family moments.

I love the o.c., personally marissa wasn't my favorite. I loved Ryan with Taylor I think she was so much cuter and kinder, marissa was such a bitch and was always complaining. Quite frankily, I was glad to see her leave.

okay, so yeah her character got boring a bit, but she was a MAIN character...i really dont think that cutting her was a good idea on anypart. even for a different show that is a bad call. i absolutely loved this show, so so so much. season four starts out boring and kinda sad because everyone that we grew to know and love is totally different, but it catches up some speed and gets better. i hate that its over because its just not fair that fans who love the show. i just think it was the most stupid idea to kill her off!! ive seen every episode more than twice and i just hate how everything i loved about it is different.

i dont think that mischa was really all that good. Not a big fan but not a hater either. i loved her but just her character became blah when she spiraled downhill. Being bitchy and too out of control. I mean ryan was the one from chino and he was the "better kid". I know it sounds lame but ryan needed a good girl. Many might not remember lindsay because she was only on for a few episodes in season 2 but i loved them together it was a nice cute relationship, drama but not too much.

i agree it was the reason the the o.c ended i was a huge fan of the o.c and i own the seasons and i love the frist three seasons but i can not watch the fourth it is not as good marisa was a imporant charter and my friend and i cried when we saw when she died i do think that when the killed marisssa they killed the show people liked to watch to see what crazy thing she would do next and she and ryan were able to relate to each other and they were always there for weach other there romance in the show was just as good and entertaing as the romance of seath and summer i think if they had not killed her off than the show would have had a full fourth season and possibly a fith who knows the show could possibly still be on the show needed her charter for drama as well as entertainment
