Rachel Bilson has come a long way since her breakout role as Summer Roberts on The OC.

And the six-time Teen Choice Award winner might be gearing up to return to her aughts teen soap roots.

She recently had a mini OC reunion with costar Melinda Clarke, after she said she’d be ‘open to a reboot’ of the hit Fox series, which ran for four seasons from 2003 to 2007.

The 39-year-old posed in a selfie on Instagram with Clarke, 51, as they appeared to be working on a project together, writing: ‘#FBF???? wait for it….. #eternalsummer #covidsafe’

She told E! News last month of the iconic show: ‘I would be open to a reboot. It’s such a fond memory for me and I am so grateful for it.’

Bilson starred as the popular rich girl Summer, who was best friend of troubled Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) and the object of affection for nerdy Seth Cohen (Adam Brody). 

The show starred Ben McKenzie as reformed delinquent Ryan Atwood, whose adolescence in Chino is upturned when his public defender Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) takes him in as part of his family in the upscale Orange County.

Clarke appeared on the show as Marissa’s often devious mother Julie Cooper, who doesn’t take kindly to her daughter’s blossoming romance with the boy from the wrong side of the tracks.

Bilson said of her time on the show: ‘My favorite memory filming The OC was just laughing all the time. I got to work with a lot of funny people. 

‘Adam Brody was super funny and Chris Pratt, when he was on the show, was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life.’

She recently revealed that she and her family actually celebrated Chrismukkah, the show’s Christmas/Hanukkah hybrid celebrated by the Cohens.

Bilson told TooFab: ‘I think it’s so cool. As a child growing up — my dad’s Jewish, my mom was raised Catholic — so I was a Chrismukkah household, it’s really fun. I love that The OC really resonates with people and people still watch it. I think that’s super cool.

‘My daughter’s learning about Hanukkah in kindergarten and asked if we have a menorah, so I think it’ll be fun to start teaching her that and teaching her the word Chrismukkah.’
