Bradley Stryker makes two appearances in the first season as Trey Atwood. The first, is in the cold open of the pilot episode when he steals a Chevrolet Camaro, crashing it when trying to evade the police. He is arrested and his whereabouts are summarized in a conversation between his brother Ryan and Sandy Cohen.

Stryker's only other appearance was in the eleventh episode when, at Thanksgiving, Trey calls Ryan from prison. Trey receives a visit from Ryan, and explains that he needs a favour, as people on the inside were reminding him that he owed $6,000 when he was arrested. Trey asks Ryan to deliver a stolen car to clear the debt, which he does as a last favour, and afterwards tells Ryan "you gotta leave me behind".cite episode|title=Premiere|episodelink=Premiere (The O.C.)|series=The O.C.|serieslink=The O.C.|credits=|network=FOX|airdate=2003-08-05|season=1|number=11|transcripturl=http://dmca.free.fr/scripts/theoc/season1/theoc-111.htm]

eason 2

In the latter half of the second season, Trey was released from prison. With nowhere else to go, he moved in with Ryan and the Cohens, during which time he also met and became friendly with Marissa Cooper, who attempted to help him settle in Newport Beach.

With his brother's support, Trey tried to make a fresh start in his new surroundings. However he struggled to adjust and resorted to stealing at an auction in order to obtain the down payment for an apartment before becoming involved with drugs when he met Jess Sathers, a student at Ryan and Marissa's school. Jess overdosed at Trey's 21st birthday party and Trey claimed he had given her the drugs in order to save Marissa from getting arrested for supplying the drugs, as the party was at her house. Sandy Cohen managed to get the charges dropped after Marissa and Ryan helped find the real identity of the drug dealer at Death Cab. In the meantime, Trey pursued a casual relationship with Jess, and as a result started using drugs. While high, he attempted to rape Marissa, who had gotten back together with Ryan. Trey regretted it afterwards, and apologized to Marissa but then warned her against telling Ryan. Ryan began to suspect something was wrong as the tension between Trey and Marissa grew. Initially, he suspected them of having an affair, and Jess attempted to cause further trouble by reinforcing his suspicions. Ryan confronted Marissa about her relationship with Trey, but she denied his accusations of an affair, although she still did not tell him about the rape attempt.

Trey and Jess then tried to pull off a drug deal together which went badly wrong, almost injuring Marissa in the process. Ryan told Trey he wanted him to leave Newport and Trey and Jess planned to leave town together. In the season two finale, Ryan found out about Trey's attempted rape of Marissa from Seth. Seth had been told about the attack by Summer, Marissa's best friend, whom Marissa had finally told about the attack after Summer questioned her about the scratch marks on her neck. Enraged, Ryan went to Trey's apartment to confront him and the two began to fight. Seth and Summer called Marissa to warn her that Ryan knew about the rape attempt and she too raced to Trey's apartment to try and stop the confrontation. As she burst in on Trey and Ryan, she found Trey strangling Ryan and seemingly about to kill him. Marissa begged the enraged Trey to stop, but he threw her off. To save Ryan, she grabbed Trey's gun and shot him in the back. As the episode ended, it was unclear as to whether or not he would survive.

eason 3

As the third season opened, Trey was revealed to have been in a coma for several months due to his gunshot wound. When he awoke, he was blackmailed by Julie Cooper into telling the authorities that it was Ryan who shot him and not Marissa. Marissa found out what her mother was up to and prevented Trey from doing this. Facing a broken relationship with Ryan and believing Ryan would be better off without him, Trey was last seen on a bus leaving Newport for Las Vegas. His ex-girlfriend Jess later re-appeared, begging Ryan to help her with some boyfriend troubles and told Ryan that Trey was working as a Blackjack Dealer. While Ryan was at Jess' house, Trey called on the phone, but Ryan refused to speak to him. Later, Trey sent him a birthday gift of a toy Chevrolet Camaro like the one they stole in the first episode.
