Seth, the Cohen's awkward, quirky, yet loveable son, was born and raised in the world of the privileged, and has been planning his escape from Newport ever since. Even though Seth had a seemingly perfect life, he was picked on and often left out at school. With the arrival of Ryan, that all began to change. Seth soon got the courage to ask out the girl of his dreams, Summer Roberts, who he has been pining for his entire life, and no longer felt as lost as he did before.

But when Ryan moved back to Chino, a distraught Seth ran away to Oregon, deciding to return only after hearing of Ryan’s return. But when he came home, Summer had decided to leave him and Seth spent the next year trying to win her back. After several failed attempts, Seth finally managed to win Summer back by way of a superhero kiss.

Now, Seth, with Summer by his side, continues to plot his escape from Newport by applying to Brown, an east coast college. Despite his changes in the past three years, Seth maintains his quirkiness and continues to make his trademark cultural references and smart aleck remarks.
