The 28-year-old actress - who rose to fame playing Summer Roberts in the American teen drama series -had a "phenomenal" time working on the show, which ran for four seasons until February 2007, and misses working with her co-stars Mischa Barton, Adam Brody and Benjamin McKenzie.
She said: "I do miss Summer terribly. 'The O.C.' was the most phenomenal time. I saw Mischa at Cannes, but I honestly miss everyone from the show. "
The actress believes she has been able to avoid Hollywood trouble because she was 21 when she first appeared in the show - whereas her co-star Mischa was just a teenager.
