After spending the entire second season in exile at boarding school, wicked little Kaitlin Cooper returns to "The O.C." this season, as played by newcomer Willa Holland.
A top child model, Willa has the look to make it big in film or on TV, and she'll bring some [much needed] fresh blood to "The O.C." Taking over the role that Shailene Woodley played in season one, fans haven't seen the Kaitlin character since May of 2004 when her manipulative mom, Julie, married Kristen's dad, Caleb.
Willa, who is 14 and the stepdaughter of film director Brian DePalma, is the right age to play the devious, twisted little sis of perfect Marissa (Mischa Barton), and even looks like Mischa. When interviewed by People magazine, she said she was living her dream.
"I was the happiest person on earth," she said of winning the role of Kaitlin. "I'm a huge, huge, huge O.C. fan. Mischa is a sweetheart. Whenever she walks into a room, she just looks phenomenal. You can't help but get a little inspiration from her."
In real life, the ninth-grader has an early curfew, but on "The O.C." Willa gets to run wild as her alter ego. "It's so much fun to play the bad girl. Everybody has that little side of them they never really get to get out."
She told Headlineplanet.com that her Kaitlin is "... trouble - she’s just pure, fun, trouble."
"She’s going to make these next few episodes guaranteed to be interesting. She’s got a lot of character to her. She brings a whole other side to the show."
