I need all the nitty gritty details too because I’m a sucker for knowing what characters stick out most for people.

I’ll go first:

1. Summer - Arguably one of my fav characters of all time. I just love her attitude, spunk and sense of humor. Her character development is so admirable and I LOVE seeing all these special moments where her insecurities come out and realizing how soft and sweet she is deep down. The best.

2. Ryan - He reminds me so much of my fiancé when we were younger, both looks and personality (without the anger issues lol). Quiet, calculated, a good person, caring, etc. Also love his character development.

3. Seth - The only nerd I’ve ever been attracted to. His humor carried the entire show.

4. Jimmy Cooper - Idk what it is about Jimmy, it might be the actor himself, I just love his demeanor, the way he carries himself, and anytime he’s on screen. He plays his character so well.

5. A tie between Julie and Luke because they also have such great character development while still loving how they play their evil sides too.

Honestly love everyone on this show whether they were good or bad (even Oliver!) with the exception of Lindsay. Cannot stand Lindsay lol

Okay tell me everything.

I know so many people don’t like the Theresa storyline. I love it and am here for it. I think she represents an accurate real friend and girlfriend to Ryan in his past life and they do a really good job at showing where he came from. Having someone like her vouch for his life before Newport is really compelling for Ryan’s character development.

ALSO the scene with her and Ryan walking down the street in The O.Sea episode is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. Ryan had just found out from Trey that Marissa “came on to him” and Theresa shooting that down right away and defending Marissa is everything. That’s a ride or die friend who can see people for who they are and had Ryan’s back.

Team Theresa! She serves a big purpose in the grand scheme of Ryan’s POV.
