Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan, who famously played parents Sandy and Kirsten Cohen on Fox's The O.C., have reunited almost two decades after the beloved teen drama went off the air.
Gallagher, 70, took to Instagram on Friday with a photo of himself alongside Rowan, 60, smiling while posing outdoors.
He referenced their characters in the caption, writing, 'Look who came to visit! Kirsten and Sandy are wishing you all a Happy Fourth! and sending you our love.'
The actor added, 'Great to see her, her lovely family and long-time pal. Here’s to the next occasion!'
Gallagher, who recently appeared in the AppleTV+ series Truth Be Told, looked fit and healthy, still sporting his famously heavy eyebrows.

It was an instant success and made the ensemble cast – including Mischa Barton, Rachael Bilson, Adam Brody, and Ben McKenzie – household names.

However, the couple called it quits right before their daughter Braelin arrived.
After the end of The O.C., the actress landed a role in the film Perception and made an appearance on the hit show Castle.
In 2016 she starred in the Hallmark Channel made-for-TV movie Tulips in Spring.
Over the years, there has been chatter about a potential O.C. reunion.
However, Brody said he didn't think it would be practical in the current cultural climate.
'I kind of don’t think it can be done because socially we’re in a different place and we’re in a more conscious place,' he said on Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke's podcast Welcome to the O.C., Bitches in 2021.
He explained, 'While The O.C. claims to be – in a similar sense as a Gossip Girl – while it would sort of say it’s a critique, it’s not. It’s a celebration... it’s a celebration of affluence in my opinion.'
