Someone Just Reminded Me About ‘Summerland’ & Now I’m In A YouTube Hole

I did not expect to come to work today and spend eight hours in a Jesse McCartney hole, but here we are, you guys. Because I have just been reminded Summerland existed.

Summerland was “like a shit OC” as my sister Kate puts it. It ran for just two seasons, with a mere 26 episodes… and yet featured such a host of talent I can’t even deal with it.

First, the premise. The show was about this fashion designer Ava Gregory (played by Lori Loughlin, who is now at the centre of the College Scandal – amazing). After a tragic accident, Ava ends up as guardian for her niece and two nephews, and they live in this weird bohemian situation with three of her mates in California.

One of those mates is her ex-boyfriend Johnny, which seems like a weird flex but sure. The other is her bestie, and the last is *our* Ryan Kwanten.

The eldest nephew Bradin is played by Jesse McCartney, and the niece Nikki is played by Kay Pannabaker who looked super familiar but actually only did a few shit things, like that Fame reboot and Phil Of The Future.

FAR more importantly, Nikki’s adorable boyfriend was played by none other than ZAC FUCKEN EFRON.

There’s also Sara Paxton, who plays Bradin’s troubled weed-addicted love interest Sarah (you’d remember her from Aquamarine and Sydney White, btw).

Although Bradin moved on to Callie (played by Danielle Savre, who went on to star in the BEST MTV SERIES Kaya) and then his surf instruction Erika… who also used to date the Ryan Kwanten character? It was so weird.

Anyway this whole bit in Summerland where Bradin and Sarah were gonna bone that was iconic:

Also I just love couple compilation videos soooo:

And prepare to DIE over baby Taylor Lautner‘s Summerland cameo:

I told you I was in a k-hole.
