Official premier

Series premiere of “Hidden Palms,” airing at 8 p.m. on the CW. The CW makes an effort to fill the hole left by “The O.C.” with this teen drama about beautiful, wealthy Palm Beachers. Playing the role of the conflicted young male is Michael Cassidy, an O.C. alum (he played Zach, Summer’s temporary boyfriend), who is dealing with the tragic suicide of his father. Joining Cassidy is Taylor Handley, another O.C. alum (he played creepy Oliver), as well as Amber Heard, who once played an extra on “The O.C.” Could it be an attempt to hold onto a bit of O.C. stardust?
