Kaitlin Cooper
Encyclopedia : K : KA : KAI : Kaitlin Cooper
Kaitlin Cooper is a fictional character on the FOX television series The O.C.. Similar to Trey Atwood, the character is the second in the series to be played by two performers — Shailene Woodley in the first season, and Willa Holland from the third season onward.
Seasons 1 & 2
Kaitlin is the younger sister of Marissa Cooper and the younger daughter of Jimmy and Julie Cooper. Occasionally seen during the first season, her greatest interest is in horseback riding on her pony, China. Kaitlin's life is eventually disrupted due to her father's embezzlement of clients' funds and the subsequent unraveling of her parents' marriage.Shortly after her mother marries Caleb Nichol, Kaitlin is sent to a boarding school (later revealed to be in Montecito, California). As a result, she is an unseen character throughout the second season.
Season 3
Kaitlin continues life at boarding school until the mid-winter break, when she comes back to Newport. The house of her childhood, however, is no longer her home but that of a man of Persian descent. Mail for the Coopers has been redirected to the Cohens' house next door. Kaitlin, now 14 follows the lead in search of answers, meeting Ryan Atwood at the door. At first, Ryan does not recognize the visitor — a possible nod to the fact that a different actress now plays the role.The circumstances of Kaitlin's arrival are questionable, as a former acquaintance of hers searches for Kaitlin and money she apparently stole. Though removed from the struggles of the rest of her family for some time (and mostly unaware, due to their lack of communication with Kaitlin), Kaitlin seems to be no stranger to cover-ups. She is shown to have some of the same personality tendencies as her famously scheming mother, but the extent of Kaitlin's plotting is less certain.
After resolving the above issues, she returns home again, this time claiming she wants to see her sister's graduation (Episode 76; The Graduates). Soon again however, she's shown to have other motives. Claiming that her sister's reign as the ruler of Harbor is over, she is staying home for good.
