It’s now been 20 years since Luke (Chris Carmack) welcomed Ryan (Ben McKenzie) to a certain beachside county in profane fashion. “Welcome to the O.C., bitch!” Luke snarked, after he and his cronies trounced Ryan in a fistfight. The OC aired four seasons before getting evicted by Fox and numerous famous celebs turned up on the show. Let’s take a look!
