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.

Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Is Jennie Garth going to appear in any episodes of 90210 next season? –Emil
Ausiello:
There’s nothing on the books yet, but a rep for the show says “the intention is to have Jennie back next season.” In other 90210 news, former Law & Order ADA Elisabeth Rohm will guest star as a robot bitchy socialite who locks horns with Naomi in at least one episode.

Question: Here’s a question: What the heck has the awesome Melinda Clarke been up to? –Tammy
Ausiello:
Big scoop: She’s starring in a new TV series as a housewife by day and a spy by night. Unfortunately, the show isn’t real; it’s part of an upcoming Entourage subplot.

**Note: Clarke played Julie on The O.C.
