An existential hero in the spirit of Holden Caulfield, Benjamin Braddock or any John Cusack character from the late '80s, Seth is socially awkward, a bit of a wise-ass and, despite his best efforts to appear otherwise, full of longing. The only child of Sandy and Kirsten Cohen, he has grown up in the "Newport Beach bubble" - good schools, a stocked fridge, his own sailboat and trips to Europe. From the outside it looks like Seth has it all but, like his father, he senses there is something else out there… and he yearns for it.
At the end of Season One, devastated by Ryan’s decision to return to Chino, Seth set sail for Tahiti… by way of Oregon. Then when Ryan decided to return to the Cohen’s, Seth came to the conclusion that the greater Northwest wasn’t for him after all. But one thing Seth hadn’t counted on was returning to discover Summer was seeing someone else – Zach -- someone surprisingly not unlike himself, only better looking and more athletic. In an attempt to distract himself from his obsession with Summer, Seth took a job at The Bait Shop and fell for Alex, the feisty, tattooed club manager. The only problem seemed to be that Alex’s Ex was still hanging around… and her Ex was a she. To make matters worse, Seth discovered Summer was leaving on a romantic trip to Tuscany with her perfect boyfriend, Zach. But his hopes were rewarded when Summer suddenly appeared at his house and gave him a superhero kiss.
