Tate Donovan Talks "The Family Ties"

Rachel Bilson, Melinda Clarke, and Tate Donovan are all discussing (S2 Ep7) “The Family Ties,” and it’s FANTASTIC! There are always laughs when Tate is around, and in this episode, the three of them crack up when they chat about all of Jimmy and Julie’s makeout scenes! Melinda even has a theory on why their makeouts just work.

In this episode, where we say goodbye to Jimmy, Tate has some commentary and thoughts on his performance. He also highlights a “classic OC moment,” when the show glosses over some serious stuff with Summer’s mom. And, he chimes in about that sweatshirt he wears in his emotional beach scene with Marissa.

Hear about what it took to dress Adam Brody as a “bad boy,” and the quote from this episode that Melinda uses in her everyday life. Stay until the end to learn more about Tate Donovan when the hosts throw some rapid-fire questions his way!
