Tense

Can't have dates and the past tense used to describe portrayal of Marissa - too much of a spoiler to those outside North America who won't have seen the end of Season 3 yet. Gunray

Already says it in the article at the very bottom. Already says it in Barton's profile in detail. Already makes multiple references in the OC article and subarticles. It's more confusing to viewers who haven't seen the show yet to see this article out of tense with the rest of the articles. I vote to change to past tense, if it needs to be altered back then it at least must be altered back in all articles to maintain clarity and flow. The article should be changed at the very latest by the end of the week. Mattbwn 23:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a problem saying it at the end, after the spoiler warning, but it is very unfair to have it prior to such an alert. As for the other articles, I suspsect most will have the information a long way after the spoiler warnings (as it was right at the end of season 3, and people would have to sift through three seasons worth of spoilers to get there.) Gunray

I'm so sad that she died :'( ! --DragonWR12LB 07:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC

When should we finally change this to the past tense? The episode aired in early May. Its June now. And we know she's dead...it says so at the end of the final episode recap on the official homepage Mattbwn 22:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as the episode airs in the U.K, as season 3 is just drawing to a close there. It's only about 3 weeks away.

I say wait till there's a complaint from someone in the UK. I think we should add on the bottom of this section a save marissa section and about the massive online community effort to save her. Its not hard, a doctor with a defribilator can just happen to drive by and save her life.

Once we do update the page do you think we should give her a born/died tag? For instance "born 1988 (presumably), died 2006". I've noticed other tv characters on here have them, especially the 'Buffy' and 'Angel' ones... Poor Marissa, I'll miss her. :( Ross Nolan 10:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been aired now, in the English-speaking world, so I think we can finally change it to the past tense. Gunray

alias

is 'coope' really an alias or just a nickname? Ohcl

No i guess not, more a nickname. (Changed alias to nickname) :-) Matthew Fenton (contribs) 07:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did Mischa Barton jump or was she pushed?

I was just wondering if the character of Marissa was killed off because Mischa Barton wanted to leave the series, or because she was written out. Has there been anything to suggest one or the other? 195.137.79.247 23:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Last Appearance consensus

i OPPOSE using the last episode. the OC is not a supernatural show. her 'ghost' was not even explicitly her. a flashback does not qualify for the last appearance of a character. by that logic, credits would count, re-runs, and advertisements would have to count. seeing as the OC is somewhat based on a real world, the characters last appearance would have to be either her death or funeral. flashback: when is the last time you saw your next-door neighbor? if you flashback to a time when you last saw your neighbor, does that count as the last appearance of your neighbor? flashbacks are defined as in the past, therefore could not possibly be a last appearance. The undertow 22:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Precisely. The person making these edits isn't even a member. I agree about the ghost not necessarily being Marissa. And technically, Luke, Jimmy, Johnny, and Trey have all appeared in flashback sequences, however it doesn't necessarily mean it was their last canonical appearance. Sillygostly 01:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)\[reply]

And it's getting ridiculous anyway. I've reverted the Marissa article at least 8 times now. :P Sillygostly 01:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it vandalism if anons keep inserting this? If so I'd say there's a pretty strong case for getting semi-protection on this article, since it's constantly being added by IPs who aren't contributing to discussions on the talk page. I know it says SP is not for content disputes, but there doesn't seem to be much input from the IPs other than re-insertion of material. I'll put a hidden HTML note in the infobox, not that I believe it will do much good. QmunkE 16:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The article should be protected as there are no longer any other noteworthy contributions being made to this article. Sillygostly 01:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marissa's ghost

The last canonical appearance of marissa is infact in the Avengers as on the official site it says that the ghost shown, is hers. Furthermore, i have included the last episode as a last appearance as this has been done for other tv characters, see example, Conrad Gates. *Bree113

That was not Marissa's ghost, that was just a figment of Summer's imagination, as she mentally visualised Marissa in the room across her's. If Marissa appeared in say, the flashback sequences in the episode The Case of the Franks, then the last appearance could have been amended. A number of TV shows still keep photographs in the background of deceased or absent characters in order to create realism, although it does not count as a last appearance canonically. Sillygostly 01:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection

I have semi-protected the article to stop people from removing the display image constantly. Bree113 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 12:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relationships

I'm not completely sure exactly when she gets back together, breaks up with Ryan circa later s1, and then late 2, and then when they break up in s3. Plus, I don't know the time of her relationship with Volchok, so I figured someone else would know and could finish it, thanks.EverythingFan

Bullet point Relationships sections are discouraged by Wikipedia; really not wanted (per Wikipedia's polices). The character infobox is where romances should be listed. Flyer22 (talk) 06:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lgbt category

I have removed the lgbt category. blps are not put in lgbt categories unless the figure has been shown in sources to identify as such so similar should apply in fiction and only be categorised as such if canon /reliable sources identify it as such.RafikiSykes (talk) 20:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind that you removed the category, since she's not a heavy LGBT figure and I doubt that there are any reliable sources out there calling her most assuredly bisexual. But we shouldn't be applying the standards of WP:BLP to fictional character articles.

Note to others, RafikiSykes and I discussed placing Marissa in the bisexual or LGBT category [at RafikiSykes's talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RafikiSykes&diff=prev&oldid=475407728.] 23.20.59.196 (talk) 15:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
