“The O.C.” alum Mischa Barton guest starring on a reboot of long-running Australian soap opera “Neighbours” was probably not on anybody’s 2023 bingo card. The show was cancelled last spring, but &#…
The reboot has given the show a new lease of life, and as well as welcoming back many of the old cast members it has also embraced some new ones – including Barton.to discuss how she wound up joining the show, her next project and whether a reboot of “The O.C.” could also ever be in the cards.Over the years they’ve asked me a couple of times and tried to get me for different roles.
It was intriguing. Obviously, this is different, it’s a reboot, so it makes a lot more sense. I probably should have been even more cautious going into something that had been running for so long but everybody was so nice to me. And it was actually really heartwarming and really moving to get to watch these people get back together when they were so convinced that this was completely over — to the point where a lot of them had moved, sold their houses.
Stefan [Dennis, a longtime “Neighbours” cast member] has been a guiding light through all of this and I found out about his pop music career far too late into filming. I wish I had known right off the bat. But he really helped me and guided me through what the experience is like and what to expect and what’s changed now in terms of the way that they film it. Alan Davies [who played Mischa’s grandfather Caleb on “The OC”] was also on “Neighbours” and Stefan worked very closely with him for years.
We did the [“Welcome to the OC, Bitches!”] podcast finally for everybody and that seemed to make people happy. And it’s sweet [the cast] have been out picketing. I wish I could be there with the whole fam. It’s a tricky one with “The OC” because it’s just not that easy to revive. But I mean, I finally agreed to participate in the book [“Welcome to the O.C.: The Oral History,” which comes out in November]. So there have been quite a few things going on marking the 20th anniversary of it.
