The daughter of Jimmy and Julie Cooper, Marissa lived next door to the Cohen's her entire life. She had it all, great friends, a great boyfriend and the perfect family. Or so we thought… the day she met Ryan, everything in her world changed. Since then she has been forced to make tough choices and take responsibility for her life. With each new decision, she has sent a loud message to the community -- "I don't care what you think." She stood by her father, befriended Seth, left her boyfriend and found herself falling in love with the ultimate outsider.
Marissa and Ryan’s relationship was challenged every step of the way, by her jealous ex-boyfriend and over-controlling mother; but when Ryan’s ex-girlfriend, Theresa, showed up in an attempt to escape her life in Chino, everything was turned upside-down. Theresa later became pregnant; and despite the uncertainty as to whose child it was, Ryan did the right thing and returned to Chino in order to care for Theresa and the baby.
As if Ryan’s departure wasn’t enough, Marissa was given the unwelcome news that her mother was marrying Caleb Nichol. Then she learned about Caleb’s underhanded plan to force her to live with them in his mansion. Not surprisingly, Marissa returned to her out-of-control ways, engaging in as many forms of rebellion as she could come up with, including drugs, alcohol, delinquency, dating the hot yard guy, and the hot club girl.
With Lindsay and Alex out of the picture, and with a little help from Seth, Marissa and Ryan have slowly reunited. And to demonstrate her loyalty to Ryan, Marissa made an effort to help Trey find an apartment and job. Unfortunately, Trey misinterpreted Marissa’s desire to help as a desire to hook up. After a few too many drinks, he forced himself on her. She managed to escape but not without a few cuts and bruises. When Ryan finally discovered what happened, he went after Trey. Marissa arrived on the scene and just before Trey could smash Ryan’s head with a telephone, she picked up a gun and shot him in the back.
