Villains, Part 3

28 06 2009

THE O.C.
1. Julie Cooper Nichol (played by Melinda Clarke)

The first teen drama to have an adult villain, Julie’s preoccupation with money and the superficial caused her to beytray her closest friends, as well as her husband and daughter.  Among her worst acts: running a gigolo business and sleeping with her daughter’s ex-boyfriend.

2. Kevin Volchok (played by Cam Gigandet)

The sins don’t get any worse than this: killing someone!  The someone being Marissa (Mischa Barton).  Between that and constantly fighting with Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie), he’s a pretty hateable character.

Part Four tomorrow will highlight the one villian who keeps escaping death.
