Laguna Beach

Hi guys
Just discovered this on Nexflix today and have been binging on it since. I loved it back when it first aired on MTV in the early noughties.

Anyone else's opinions shifted on a few of the cast after rewatching as an adult?
Kristen and Stephen have a great newish Podcast called “back to the beach” which looks at each episode of Season 1, they had LC on the season finale. It made me rewatch with open eyes and hurt my teenage heart that it wasn’t as real as I’d thought at the time!

Oh I must check that out. I know I watched it as if it was real life at the time 🤣 the battle for Stephen who now looking back wasn't much of a prize!
 
Very Eye opening now that everyone has grown up. To think that, even before the filming. Lauren and Kristen were okay. Now to know that after it was sorted, it was bought up again for a storyline for the show. I did giggle a few times to think that Talan... was like this 'playboy' that hooked up with a lot of girls at their school :ROFLMAO:
 
Me and my friend absolutely loved this show,as well at The Hills. We always used to imagine what it would be like if we were on a similar show in our school 😂 Lauren was my absolute favourite but now I see her differently somehow. I still like her, but back then I wished I was her with her parents house and the "job" at teen Vogue. Funny how we see things through different eyes as adults 🙈

I was totally the same, wanted to be Lauren. Loved her hair, house everything.
Now I'm like she was portrayed as going after someone else's guy, how was she the one I wanted to be 🤣🤣. Superficial teenager I guess!
Been listening to the podcast today so eye opening.
 
Stephen & Kristin’s podcast made me go back and rewatch. Watching it now it’s clearly very well edited but at the time it was brand new and very much real life to me 😂

Was so excited to find this on netflix today, perfect mindless holiday watching. The guy who organises "active young america" (whatever the aim of it was) on the phone acting as if he is some kind of huge CEO :ROFLMAO:
Aww trey! He’s done so well for himself as an adult but was definitely ahead of his time on laguna

what has he done? I have just watched the scene where Christina does the "audition" for a musical, it was so cringe
 
Poor Christina! I felt for her in that episode!
I did too, but it was also a ridiculous thing for her mum to give her, you could just see the agent already hated that she had to feign interest when she walked in. I don;t get why she didn;t just go down the church singing route, god knows her dad's church made a lot of money.

Watching this all as an adult is very interesting, the scenes at prom where people are "tired" yet clearly wasted and throwing up remind me of Rich Girls (also MTV) and people who have "had too mcuh coffee" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Haha I loved that show too! Those girls were unbearable - but I couldn’t stop watching!

Aww trey, loved him. He lived in London for a while, not sure if he still does. He's done well for himself. He works in fashion and works for Vera Wang. Always pictured him being in politics from how he acted back then

Just had a nosey on Trey, fancied him like mad, just had a snoop on Insta, he’s not aged too well 🙊
Re-watching now seems so different knowing how young they were, like I’m on scene now where Kristen is shopping for bikinis and trying them on - she’s only 15, crazy! I also didn’t think how much of a main role Kristin actually was, I thought it was all LC then with occasional KCav sprinkles and that’s so not the case of the re-watch lol. I just love how they talk about where they’re from is such a tit hole 🤣 no idea lol.
 
Omg, I absolutely loved this show!! Genuinely used to think I was 'LC' when I wore my fringe swooped to the side and put a white boob tube type top on 🤣

I was so jealous of her life though, always wanted her parents big house and my dad to just buy me a white Mercedes!!

I uses to proper fancy Stephen too. Remember the girl who flirted with Jason and ended up being his girlfriend? Jess I think it was. I always remember the fashion show episode when she was dancing on his knee and I hated her for upsetting LC 😆

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who ever watched Rich Girls. I looked both girls up a few years ago and saw that Ally had Lyme disease which she blamed for the burrito fiasco on the show. She seems happy.

I just looked up Jaime because I couldn't remember where she was at and she was recently in the news for bringing a lawsuit for rape https://nypost.com/2022/12/03/rich-girls-star-jaime-gleicher-accuses-lawyer-roger-haber-of-rape/. Awful story.

Oh wow! And Living On The Edge! I remember that, it was exciting because we grew up in the next town so it ‘could’ have been us 🤣🤣
