| Character name: Seth Cohen Seth Cohen is the awkward Jewish son of lawyer, Sandy Cohen, and business woman, Kirsten Cohen. Before Ryan Atwood was adopted by the Cohens, Seth was an awkward outcast that had no friends and was insulted and bullied by his haughty, preppy peers. He also was in love with Summer Roberts who didn't even know he existed. Seth named a boat after her called the "Summer Breeze".
When Ryan Atwood came into Seth's life, this awkward comic book loving skateboarder's life was changed forever and for the better. Seth grew confident under the wing on Ryan and was even able to eventually woo the likes of Summer Roberts and other girls (Anna Stern and Alex Kelly), but Summer turned out to be the great love of his life even though he had to let her go try her hand at saving the world.
In the end, after graduating high school and failing to gain entrance into his chosen school with his girlfriend, Summer, Seth finally got his life together and married his beautiful rage blackout prone girlfriend, Summer. | | Character Quotes & Catchphrases |
