The O.C. castmates (from left) Benjamin McKenzie, 26; Mischa Barton, 19; Adam Brody, 25; and Rachel Bilson, 24, hit the beach recently in Torrance, Calif., to film a scene for the third season of their FOX show. "I was so excited when we got back; it was like a big reunion," says Barton of returning to the show in July. Adds Bilson: "It's hard to say it's work. You have a good time with your friends."
