They will keep Marissa alive (paramedics came rushing after someone called 911 because they heard a crash and saw the fire/smoke and rush her to the hospital) she will be on life support so some of the storyline revolves around her. Then later on down the season she just wakes up changed! Key word being changed. Enough of the drugs sex and rock n roll.
I think it might all depend on what Mischa wants. I mean, isn't she locked into a contract with the OC for 5 seasons? I thought all the cast was? The OC will not be the same without Marissa. And seriously, its not like Mischa's movie career is just taking off. I'll give the OC until episode 1 of season 4 to redeem themselves cuz this is just very upsetting and there is no OC without Marissa and Ryan!

Not like Marissa dying was such a huge secret –Mischa Barton already confirmed the rumours on Wednesday’s Assess Hollywood with the statement, “It’s true, it’s true. My character dies.” She also adds:
“I think the show is moving in a new direction. This was a great opportunity for everyone. I was just really excited about giving everybody a good finale. You know, they needed a big season finale at the end of this year and we've had three great years and my character has been through so, so much and there's really nothing more left for her to do. So I hope this fulfills everything that the fans want and everything that the people wanted for our characters."
