Jimmy Cooper is coming back to “The O.C.”
Tate Donovan, who left the FOX show halfway through this season, is returning as a special guest on the season finale, the network says. The episode is scheduled for Thursday, May 19.
Donovan’s last appearance on the show came in January, when Jimmy took off for Hawaii after his daughter Marissa (Mischa Barton) caught him in a compromising situation with his ex-wife, Julie (Melinda Clarke).
Since leaving the show, Donovan has been seen in the comedy “The Pacifier” and has worked on the George Clooney-directed “Goodnight, and Good Luck,” about CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow’s battle against Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
“The O.C.” has five episodes remaining in the season.
