Mischa Barton is glad that her character in The O.C. was killed off instead of doing some kind of "lame farewell".
Barton's character, Marissa Cooper, dies in the arms of her boyfriend Ryan Atwood after he drives his sports utility vehicle off the road. The third season's closer aired in America earlier this week.
Be nice to your kids, they choose your nursing home!
I think it will be better- It will be interesting to see how everyone copes with her death and it will hopefully get rid of the whole boring makeup/breakup dynamic of the show!
