Twitter'O.C.' characters Kirsten & Jimmy to pop up on 'Gossip Girl' spin off?
The "Gossip Girl" spin off, centering on Serena's mom Lily circa 1980s Los Angeles (Brittany Snow landed the role) will debut on May 11 as an actual "Gossip Girl" episode, but executive producer Josh Schwartz's first TV series "The O.C." may play just as big a part in the new project.
The CW confirms that, as EW.com first reported, Schwartz and producing partner Stephanie Savage are seriously considering casting actors to play the parts of "O.C." characters like Kirsten Nichol (originally portrayed Kelly Rowan) and Jimmy Cooper (Tate Donovan) ...as 1980s teenagers of course.
Could young Lily have crossed paths with those peeps back in the day? Yeah, that's definitely believable and a damn good idea.
So, if Schwartz and Savage make this happen (please do), anyone in particular you'd want them to cast as young Kirsten and Jimmy?

OMGoodness! I love this idea...and now I have to put on my casting/thinking cap and get back to you!
Wait, how about Laura Vandervoort for young Kirsten?! She's a hot, blonde Canadian too so that just might work!
Now a young Jimmy Cooper...hmmm...
What about Justin Baldoni for young Jimmy?!
i love Justin, but i don't think he's waspy looking enough to play Jimmy Cooper.
Good point katee. Any suggestions?
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA !!!! it will bring fans of the OC that dont like GG into watching the spinnoff !
And if anyone mentions Willa Holland playing two different characters on both shows, who cares its just one character and everybody has a "lookalike" out derr
I think i have fallen in love with Josh and Stephanie all over again because of this
that would be amazing
I love B Snow she's fab.
a young kirsten..and jimmy.. I wonder who would work...
Please, please, please, please do this. I NEED an OC fix!
