Spike ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.
ALEX, the freewheeling character on "The O.C." played by Olivia Wilde, will embark on a lesbian relationship with Marissa (Mischa Barton (news)), says show creator Josh Schwartz.
Why do I think this will be a pandering, fem-on-fem, male fantasy kind of thing?
Yeah, 'cos Marissa's the gay one.
Projecting, much?

Because, uhm, it's on FOX?

According to his interview in either Out or the Advocate recently, that's not the creator's intent. If it goes well (and by the way, OC watchers, did you all see Drew Z.'s name attached to the show? when did that happen?), it could be pretty cool.
The Alex part was the only part that was new to me. I blinked.

Me too. I like that.
They're both so bony and brittle-looking, though ... but if it makes Marissa less boring, I'm all for it.
For Marissa to be less boring, she'd have to be recast. But I'm looking forward to Seth's reaction.

Hmmm. I'll hold my judgment until she cuts her hair, starts wearing DMs and performing at Drag King shows. Not that she needs to hit all the stereotypical markers, but a few cultural signifiers might be nice.
Yeah, that'll be entertaining. But I'm sort of over Seth at this point =-- he's almost *too* woobie-esque. I watch for Summer, Ryan and the grownups this season.
So the producers doing this means there will never be anything overt on the Seth/Ryan front, right? One more reason to hate Marissa.
