‘I Think She’s Very…’: Here’s What Rachel Bilson Feels About Her O.C. Character Summer Roberts Would Be Upto Today

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for delving into the lives of beloved characters, I find Rachel Bilson’s vision of Summer Roberts‘ life post-“The O.C.” to be an enchanting exploration of character development and growth. With her extensive experience as a mother herself, Bilson’s portrayal of Summer as an involved, dedicated parent resonates deeply, underscoring the importance of family and community in our lives.


At a recent event for “Serving Summer” campaign by The O.C. x 21Seeds in Los Angeles, Rachel Bilson shared her imaginative take on where her iconic character, Summer Roberts, might be nowadays. Since the show initially aired over two decades ago, fans have been eager to learn about the future of their beloved characters.

Now, Bilson’s perspective on how Summer might spend her life offers an entertaining glimpse into what activities she might engage in today. Bilson portrays Summer Roberts as a highly engaged and committed mother. In her view, it’s likely that Summer would play a significant role within her child’s school environment, perhaps even holding the position of PTA president.

As someone who has spent years studying character development in television shows, I wholeheartedly believe that Summer, as portrayed by Rachel Bilson, is a role model for young adults. Her strong commitment to her family and community resonates deeply with me, having seen similar values embodied in the lives of people around me. The way Bilson brings Summer to life on screen as a proactive and engaged parent underscores the idea that these traits will continue to shape Summer’s character into adulthood. As someone who values the importance of family and community, I can’t help but be inspired by Summer’s portrayal and see myself reflected in her character.

It seems that Bilson thought it possible that Summer could work in education while also being a mom. Yet, Bilson envisioned Summer utilizing her remarkable intellectual talents in a job other than teaching science or drama.

It was noted that Summer possesses robust academic background and has potential across various subjects, as indicated by her impressive SAT scores from the show. However, Bilson chose to leave open the specifics about Summer’s teaching role, focusing more on the idea that Summer could excel in an educational setting.

She primarily guides pupils, with students from multiple grade levels and different schools in attendance. She serves as a teacher in all these educational institutions.

Besides this, Bilson (the mother of a 9-year-old girl named Briar Rose, who shares custody with her former husband Hayden Christensen) also clarified her reasons for thinking that she and Summer might not have a harmonious parenting relationship.

In addition, Bilson discussed her recent partnership with the tequila brand 21Seeds, which happened during the 21st anniversary of The O.C. She expressed that teaming up with 21Seeds seemed perfectly fitting, and the timing couldn’t have been better for such a collaboration.

Through this chance, she got to rekindle relationships with the show’s makers, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and she relished every moment of it. She expressed delight in working with them once more, noting that their deep insights into her character made the collaboration a pleasant one.

Bilson expressed how seamless it felt for her to resume her role following collaborations with Schwartz and Savage, mentioning that the transition seemed almost eerily straightforward for everyone involved. She delightfully revisited her iconic lines as Summer Roberts and appreciated the inventive journey that facilitated this continuation. Her ease in reprising the role suggested a deep and natural connection with Summer Roberts.

Furthermore, Bilson voiced her enthusiasm for a potential O.C. reboot, stating her readiness to participate in any sequel projects related to the series. Her comments hinted at her continuing affection for the role and her eagerness to contribute to preserving the show’s legacy in innovative ways.
