[QUOTE="Presea, post: 80199, member: 24"] I should have explained it better. In fanfiction, the term OC, which stands for "original character", refers to a character that the writer has made up (like Jennifer Nelson or these Marchetta relatives) on their own and did not appear in the canon (actual storyline for a TV show, book, video game, etc.) universe of whatever TV show, book, etc. the writer is writing a story about. The term is confusing because the word original would sound more like it is referring to characters such Sue Ellen, JR, etc. Anyway, while I don't mind a couple random OCs thrown into Dallas who mostly serve more minor roles like secretaries or something, I think it gets tiresome when made-up family members start to take center stage in Dallas like the Ramos and Ryland families did in the TNT version.
