Charlotte Morgan is a con-artist, posing as a recovering alcoholic. She met Kirsten in rehab and tried to get money from her. However, this failed and she moved on to Julie. The two planned to throw a fund-raiser, a ploy by Charlotte to steal all the donations, but she gets found out when Julie goes into her handbag at a restaurant and finds numerous credit cards in different names. Charlotte gets Julie in on the scam, however Julie does the right thing and asks people to write checks to the charity so Charlotte could not steal the money. With her plan foiled, she departed from Newport.
In July 2005 it was reported that Jeri Ryan was joining The O.C. in a seven-episode arc as "a mysterious woman Kirsten Cohen (Kelly Rowan) befriends in rehab". Later on Josh Schwartz said that "We were told to add this Jeri Ryan character to the show that we had no idea what to do with. We were just told we had to add an adult female character. It went nowhere, and we had no plan for it, and it just didn’t fit the show." Rob Lineberger of DVD Verdict "thought Jeri Ryan made a compelling bad girl". Derek Hanson said that Ryan's addition was meant to get the "14–24 demographic excited", but stated that Charlotte Morgan had "a terrible storyline, that just didn't sit quite right."

Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
