In the new book Welcome to The O.C.: The Oral History (https://www.amazon.com/Welcome-C-History-Josh-Schwartz/dp/0063342790), released today, The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz and executive producer Stephanie Savage team up with TV critic Alan Sepinwall to look back at the Fox drama series, including the re-casting of an older Kaitlin Cooper after she was originally played by Shailene Woodley. "We saw quite a few people for that," Savage recalls, according to EW. "We saw Hayden Panettiere, we saw Britt Robertson. Lily Collins." Schwartz adds: "We had a meeting with Emma Stone," who Savage says looked like Melinda Clarke, who played Julie Cooper. But ultimately, Schwartz says Stone "felt green in that moment."
