I think, aside from being extremely attractive, the cast is really talented and can do humor and drama. I think the tone of the show surprised people.
Last year, at the beginning of the year, we couldn't get arrested, so I'll take this. Feast versus famine.
Julie and Jimmy are going to make another run at it, but you know that Jimmy Cooper ...
You have to act like a responsible professional in the industry regardless of your age.
We don't have any plans for any big stunt casting at this point. We do have four new characters who are coming on to the show, and they're all great.
We don't hold anything back. We go for broke, and if we have a good idea for a story line, we just use it because you never know and because the dynamics of the show are going to change.
For us, we've had so many cliff-hangers lately, we were really looking for the final episode before baseball to be less a traditional cliff-hanger and more a signal of the show being in a new place, ... There's a sense that the show has really moved over the course of those four episodes and set up some new dynamics.
This year is senior year and with senior year comes all that sort of angst and anxiety, all that sort of epic teen drama - who am I, where am I going, what's gonna happen to us, ... It's going to call everyone's identity into question and throw the show back on the family.
We are very excited for the opportunity to extend the style ofthe show to our fans,
We did a lot of that last year. Where that story line is going is not what people are expecting.
Finally, in the episode with the Tijuana road trip, we watched a scene between her and Seth in the diner and knew: This girl is amazing. Let's make her a series regular.
As The O.C. started up again, I started to feel myself potentially getting pulled away.
There is always drama and there will always be drama, but its the way its presented in my head that makes it so interesting. Everyone gets their time in the middle of the drama.
We just happened to come along at time where there hadn't been a new young adult drama that also could appeal to adults as well in quite some time. We sort of found a little bit of a niche.
