Yesss. I can't wait for the Rooney concert. One of my favorite Luke episodes even though it was mostly about the Oliver triangle. I love that Chris seems just as cool as his character - a big warm hearted kid.
The O.C. had a real problem with important "side" characters just disappearing, never to be heard from again. Luke at least got a reason and a season 2 guest spot.
His character development was probably one of the best on the series. He went from the absolute worst to super likeable. Wasn’t fond of his Julie relationship, but it sorta worked. Was bummed when he left.
Rachel mentions that Adam Brody was in a band called "Big Japan". Now...I'm guessing that was the inspiration for Summer going to prom with a guy from a band called "Big Korea" 😆
Yes and in an episode in season 3 where Marissa is at Newport Union public school, when Ryan joins them for lunch, Chili is wearing a Big Japan T shirt . It’s the episode where they all go to get yoghurt and leave Ryan and Johnny to talk at the table by themselves.
@@_NPJ speaking of Chili, I totally forgot the actor and the super suuper strange circumstances of his death... i wonder if they mention it once they get to the episodes with him. i mean it would be weird if they do, but also weird if they don't i guess?
He was! I saw his band play I think about 3 or 4 times. Rachel and Mischa went to a show and I got to meet Rachel and Adam there. Jonah Hill was in his band for a bit too :)
@@NELLISZ1 yeah that will be interesting. It’s crazy that his name in real life was Johnny and he died from a fall.... similar to his friend Johnny in the show!
The ending was peak O.C. 🏆 Luke-"Maybe I can just blow the whole thing off...go hit the beach, give everyone time to get it out of their systems." 🏖️ Ryan-"It doesn't work like that. It's been months-I'm still the kid from Chino who burned a house down." 🔥🏠 Marissa-"And I'm still the girl who tried to kill herself in Mexico." 💊🥃 Seth-"I'm still...the...I'm still Seth Cohen." 🤓 Luke-"Man, this is gonna suck!" Seth-"Yep, well...welcome to my world."
Favorite episode by far! Chris is so humorous and down to earth. Wish they would have kept Luke around longer and hope Chris will be back especially during the episodes where he gets together with Julie.
@@shaunduquette5992 there's still PLENTY of episodes left for them to possibly mend the bridge enough.. I mean I definitely don't think we should get our hopes up, but who knows?
I want Morena jajajaja she supposedly do 1-2 episodes and the funny part is that she and ben doesn't remember it (I saw it in a interview). They came in love when both doing Gotham xD
Probably the best episode of the podcast so far! Chris seems like such a happy, positive guy and we definitely need more of people like this in our lives! It really was such a pleasure to hear him talk about the show, and the chemistry of all three of you is just on point. Hope he'll be back soon! Also...we needed more of Luke!!!
Oh my gosh, he is the loveliest person. Would love if you had him back again. I like how he dove into what he may have been thinking within the scene as far as his choices went as an actor. Overall just a great person, you can tell.
Luke being portrayed as this very surface level, superficial dude and then Chris being the complete opposite of that, very talented, educated and cultured, just shows these actors are amazing.
Omg i totally agree! He is a fantastic actor! Honestly his personality just make him look completely different if you know what I mean. Such a pure soul.
It was super ironic that during the "Oliver saga", Luke was only other one to see through Oliver ("Dude, he was NOT joking") and stood by Ryan when everyone else deserted him, Seth included.
@@prathameshrane5841 yes! the show focused wayyyy to much on the respective relationships and stupid triangles that the friendships were super underdeveloped
I was a regular extra on the second season of the show, and these two are so right, those hours were gruesome. I can only imagine what the actual cast had to be doing on top of that. BTW... Love you two on this. So glad you're doing it!
Wow Chris Carmack, is so nice. He is funny just a great person. I love his energy. I always felt Luke, should have been a mainstay on the show. Loved this episode. Just smiled for the whole hour with you guys!
I loved Luke and this episode 💙 and I really enjoyed Chris reminiscing about Nashville and Will Lexington 🎸 My absolute favorite role! ❤ Chris Carmack, thank you for joining the OC podcast and making me smile for over an hour. You made my day during quarantine 🙏🏻
Funniest part about this show was the Water Polo team was a central theme in the first season, yet not one scene in any episode showed the game being played
"WELCOME TO HEAVEN, BITCH" omg Chris is just so delightful. And man, did time stop still for him? I mean, you guys all look great, but he looks like he just walked off a scene from the show!
PLEASE HAVE CHRIS BACK!! especially for the episode where Julie & Luke become a thing 😎. Chris seems like such a sweet guy I loved hearing his perspective & thoughts ❤
Dear Melinda! I'm so glad you two made the podcast! I always loved Summer/Rachel Bilson - but I will confess.. I hated Julie ☺ But now I see how good you were acting because I TOTALLY LOVE YOU!! 😍 You're so funny 😅 You ask so interesting questions in every podcast. I really enjoy listening to you! 🥰 LOVE from Europe 💗
Luke deserved so much more! He was pulled out so quickly that every time I rewatch THE OC, it still makes me a little sad. But nevertheless, Chris Carmack is such a sweet and humble person and IT SHOWS!
Chris Carmack is fantastic!!! I’ve loved watching him on Greys & completely forgot he was Luke on The OC until I started rewatching the series!!!! Such a great episode of the podcast!
How can anyone give a thumbs down to this episode or any of their episodes. Just goes to show you how many people just love to hate on the internet. You guys who hate should be 5% like Chris Carmack, the guy is clearly a great human being! So grounded, and funny.
I love this podcast. This episode does indeed set up the foundations for a new friendship circle for Luke and in fact, we see how good a friend he can be since he is the only one who believes Ryan's trepidations about Oliver and goes further to actively support him by investigating Oliver, did Seth? Nope.
I said that a little ways up. Ryan stands by Luke in this episode and takes a beating with him. Luke respected that and returned the favor through the Oliver saga.
This podcast episode was brilliant!❤️Chris was a lovely guest, he's got such a wonderful, positive, charming personality that shines through in this podcast (and he's gorgeous! The man doesn't age!). I hope he comes back to do some more episodes!❤️
Another favourite episode of the podcast, Chris is such a sweetheart and seemed so genuinely happy to be there…I loved it! Really hope he comes back for another episode 🙂 the beginning of this episode was hilarious with Seth dancing and then the Cohens in the kitchen lol. Yogalates!!!!! Really cool scene at the end too with Luke, Ryan, Marissa & Seth walking into school. And that iconic line “Welcome to the O.C b*tch!! Love The O.C and love this podcast! ♥️
We need to vote that season 4 was a dream Marissa had. She never died, but the car crash did happened, and SHE was put in a coma from it. She wakes up and sees Ryan. Ryan sees that Marissa wake, Ryan turns, looks at Marissa and starts tearing up… he tells Marissa that he’s been coming to see her for the past 15 years. He’s married (very troubled marriage) but still visits her, especially when he has marital fights (he doesn’t tell her that. The audience finds out later.) Ryan recounts his memory of the crash, tells Marissa that she’s been in a coma for 15 years, and he immediately calls Julie to tell her the news. “Marissa’s awake…” “What?…” “Your daughter. is. awake.” Season 5 Episode 1: The Awakening
This may be my favorite episode of the podcast so far! It might have been the first "interview" I've watched with Chris Carmack too and I absolutely love him! He seems so genuinely sweet and down to earth. I've been a HUGE Grey's Anatomy fan since it first aired (around the same time The O.C. was on and I was watching that every week) and when Chris first appeared on Grey's I was so freaking excited to see a cast member from The O.C. and he has turned in to one of my favorite characters on Grey's. I'll definitely be checking out the music that he and his wife have created because I need more of his personality and sweetness in my life! I hope he'll make another (or multiple!!) appearance(s) on the podcast!
Like someone else said this is also the first interview I watch of him. He truly seems like a nice guy and even they don't exactly look alike, he has a similar smile and kind of the same enthusiastic/happy energy of Peter Gallagher (at least in these podcast appereances (from the zoom angle, looking straight at the camera and being seemingly and genuinally happy to be sharing with Mindy and Rachel).
Hi Luke... Chris that is! HE is so humble and kind and down to earth.. He doesn't even have an ego.. He has such a sweet heart and is talented and cute. Where are guys like this?
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
He should have stayed on the series for longer. Loved his character development!

i was about to write the same thing
@@TheMoviePlanet That was Schwartz. He has admitted his lack of experience as a showrunner led to those bad decisions.
Ikr? He and Ana should have stayed longer.
Oh what a lovely, genuine guy. He is so down to earth. The way he takes compliments is just adorable. Love this podcast.
Love 💘 him!💕💕💕💕
His character development was probably one of the best on the series. He went from the absolute worst to super likeable. Wasn’t fond of his Julie relationship, but it sorta worked. Was bummed when he left.
ik, julie was definitely a predator in that relationship. luke really did have character development.
Rachel mentions that Adam Brody was in a band called "Big Japan". Now...I'm guessing that was the inspiration for Summer going to prom with a guy from a band called "Big Korea" 😆
Yeah total inside joke.. I actually have a big Japan ep somewhere .. they weren’t that bad!

The ending was peak O.C. 🏆
Luke-"Maybe I can just blow the whole thing off...go hit the beach, give everyone time to get it out of their systems." 🏖️
Ryan-"It doesn't work like that. It's been months-I'm still the kid from Chino who burned a house down." 🔥🏠

Yes, remember this episode well…😊
Best scene ever
How does Chris Carmack look younger 18 years later?
:D
He’s taken some good Anna-biotics 🤪
Not younger, the same
He had a chin implant XD.
right damn lol
Favorite episode by far! Chris is so humorous and down to earth. Wish they would have kept Luke around longer and hope Chris will be back especially during the episodes where he gets together with Julie.
Does anyone know why he left the show so early?
Hopefully Ben McKenzie, Adam Brody, and Mischa Barton will come to the podcast, too.
Doubt Mischa will,her costars don't even know what's going on with her.
@@shaunduquette5992 there's still PLENTY of episodes left for them to possibly mend the bridge enough.. I mean I definitely don't think we should get our hopes up, but who knows?
Ben and Adam for sure will. Mischa let’s hope 🤞🏻
I want Morena jajajaja she supposedly do 1-2 episodes and the funny part is that she and ben doesn't remember it (I saw it in a interview). They came in love when both doing Gotham xD
Mischa has disavowed the show, certainly her onetime castmates ~ 😒
Probably the best episode of the podcast so far! Chris seems like such a happy, positive guy and we definitely need more of people like this in our lives! It really was such a pleasure to hear him talk about the show, and the chemistry of all three of you is just on point. Hope he'll be back soon!

One of my fondest Luke moments was backstage at the Rooney concert singing and playing the guitar :)
Mine too! Makes me laugh every single time.
Mine is when he is screaming the Rooney song 😂 Sh-sh-shake it up!
@@julia3061 Loved that too!
Love how Oliver was not having any of that and Luke didn’t even realize. Hope Oliver will be in an episode.
HAHA YES!!
“Luke, do you know who sings this song?”
“ROONEY!!!”
“Yeah, let’s keep it that way”
Luke being portrayed as this very surface level, superficial dude and then Chris being the complete opposite of that, very talented, educated and cultured, just shows these actors are amazing.
💯 Early Luke is one of my most hated characters while I’m totally crushing on Chris rn
@@AWEinAwake his character development was great
@@AWEinAwake right!
Omg i totally agree! He is a fantastic actor! Honestly his personality just make him look completely different if you know what I mean. Such a pure soul.

Whenever I see Chris' face I think of the Rooney episode "SH SH SHAKIN SH SHAKIN" 🤘😂
this episode has one of the true BEST opening AND ending scene, hands down 💯 ❤️
It was 𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑘 (like the Summer Flu) how good they were! 🤪
Also, I posted the quotes for ending scene here as a comment. 🤓
A subtle moment at the end-Marissa playfully pushes Seth on his skateboard.
💜 their friendship.
love their friendship! wish they explored this more
@@riss11able 💯 Totally agree with you
@@riss11able I feel similarly about Ryan and Summer
@@prathameshrane5841 yes! the show focused wayyyy to much on the respective relationships and stupid triangles that the friendships were super underdeveloped
Love Chris and Luke's character. Very excited for this podcast. Awesome
OMG Chris didn't age at all. He's so handsome.
Chris is such a gentleman. A total sweetheart, so beautiful inside and out.
The absolute JOY of hearing Luke from the OC talking about Joe Orton and Tennessee Williams.
I was a regular extra on the second season of the show, and these two are so right, those hours were gruesome. I can only imagine what the actual cast had to be doing on top of that. BTW... Love you two on this. So glad you're doing it!
I love hearing about the little stories about the production of the show. 17 hr days is hard work.
Melinda is amazing for this podcast. She does her research, and executes her words so beautifully. I love how much she loves the show too ❤️
Jimmy’s apartment is THE coolest name for a band!
Ryan’s Pool House? 😜
Wow Chris Carmack, is so nice. He is funny just a great person. I love his energy. I always felt Luke, should have been a mainstay on the show. Loved this episode. Just smiled for the whole hour with you guys!
I loved Luke and this episode 💙 and I really enjoyed Chris reminiscing about Nashville and Will Lexington 🎸 My absolute favorite role! ❤
Chris Carmack, thank you for joining the OC podcast and making me smile for over an hour. You made my day during quarantine 🙏🏻
This was such an important episode. Lukes becomes one of Ryan’s loyal friend on this point on.
Pleaaaaaaase Chris come back!!!! 🙌🏻😍✔️
Yeah, I think he's the only one who had Ryan's back during the Oliver arc.
@@jaymaledic5730 Yes!
Funniest part about this show was the Water Polo team was a central theme in the first season, yet not one scene in any episode showed the game being played
I like that Rachel did her makeup for Chris coming on 😂👍🏼🌟
I noticed that too 🥰😆
Gotta meet the standards set!
does she normally not do her makeup?
I honestly noticed that too
"WELCOME TO HEAVEN, BITCH"
omg Chris is just so delightful. And man, did time stop still for him? I mean, you guys all look great, but he looks like he just walked off a scene from the show!
Just finished rewatching all seasons. Reliving the "so sad it's over" feeling all over again.
What a sweetheart Chris is! Can he come again and talk a little Grey’s next time? Full circle moment!
He really is like golden retriever 😜
PLEASE HAVE CHRIS BACK!! especially for the episode where Julie & Luke become a thing 😎. Chris seems like such a sweet guy I loved hearing his perspective & thoughts ❤
Josh basically made The OC filled with Easter Eggs about the cast & crew 😁
How do they all look exactly the same and all aged amazing even though it's been almost 20 years !! What's their secret? Love this show
The actor for Luke was only 10 years old at the time but he was playing a 16 year old. That makes him about 28 now
Dear Melinda! I'm so glad you two made the podcast! I always loved Summer/Rachel Bilson - but I will confess.. I hated Julie ☺ But now I see how good you were acting because I TOTALLY LOVE YOU!! 😍 You're so funny 😅 You ask so interesting questions in every podcast. I really enjoy listening to you! 🥰 LOVE from Europe 💗

Chris Carmack is fantastic!!! I’ve loved watching him on Greys & completely forgot he was Luke on The OC until I started rewatching the series!!!! Such a great episode of the podcast!
I liked how he and Ryan became friends.
My favorite opening scene EVER... Seth dancing down the passage.
Best
Flossing
Friends
Chris, you're a legend! 😂👍
Yes Luke!
It would be cool to see more scene pics! Especially when you’re talking about wardrobe ❤️
Best podcast EVER!
HE HASN'T AGED AT ALL!!!!! Living for this episode >>>>
I have ended up loving every character I have see Chris play. He is an absolute icon 🫶🏻

every time I hear “to all of you” song, I see your face Rachel and I dont know why. I guess I still love you.
love to see our guy!!
I wish Carmack would come back for S1 Ep15 - "The Third Wheel". Luke really managed to steal the scene in that one!
“COHEN THAT CONCERT DID NOT SUCK AT ALL MAN!”
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE IT OFF SHA-SHA SHAKE IT OFF.... ROOOONEYYY!!!
"hey man you know who sings this song?" "RoOoOoOoNeEeYyY" "...we should keep it that way..."
I only wish Chris was on more episodes/seasons. Sad how it kinda ended when he left to Portland :(
This podcast episode was brilliant!❤️Chris was a lovely guest, he's got such a wonderful, positive, charming personality that shines through in this podcast (and he's gorgeous! The man doesn't age!). I hope he comes back to do some more episodes!❤️

I love the whole idea of the podcast…literally can’t get enough…..we need to get Ben and mischa now !!
Been waiting all morning for this
i love this series it is the best ! i have watched in 4 times,waiting for the oc 18 years later to come out >
Chris “Charismatic” Carmack 🤩
After watching this, I think I have a crush on Chris now haha
Chris needs to be back! So many intresting details, i didn't want this podcast to end.
Love love love this!!! Keep up the good work!! Love u guys xxx
As a sax player (who hasn't played in years), I am even more attracted to him knowing he is also a sax player.
this was so amazing🤩🤩
Been waiting for this moment for so long. Love my fav 🥰

Haha! I snapchatted that flossing clip to my dentist a couple days ago! 😂
Seething Sandy = 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Luuuuke 🙌 i love that so many cast members join their podcast!
how is this not the most watched episode! Luke turned into one of the best characters, and they just cut him out, it was so sad :(
Ok Chris was already pretty during the OC but jeez he sure is aging like a fine wine haha. Looks so good!
LOVE THISSSS!!!!
Oh shit it's Luke!! 💙💙💙
WOW he actually looks MORE attractive now 🤯
YESSSS THIS MADE MY WEEK
Who remembers when Chris Carmack was on an episode of Strangers With Candy? He was hilarious!
Fun fact. Both Chris and Adam (Brody) have been in an episode of Smallville.
Hi Luke... Chris that is! HE is so humble and kind and down to earth.. He doesn't even have an ego.. He has such a sweet heart and is talented and cute. Where are guys like this?
Watching the bloopers is the funniest!
Omg so true every time I’ve flossed over the years I’ve always thought of this scene !! 🤣
I have to rewatch all the episodes again, but I might actually get too emotional & cry while I watch them. 😅
“It was a shirt on campaign; I was too old by then” LMAOOOO AJAHHAHAHA
“The summer flu and the anti biotics” I DIED LAUGHING IT WAS SOOOOO FUNNYYY
Dang that cast is well preserved, as Bullit puts it
