[edit] Life Before Season 1

Kirsten dated Jimmy Cooper during Highschool, but broke up with him when she was admitted to Berkeley University - at least that's her reason for the break-up. The truth was that she was pregnant, but didn't have the child.

[edit] Season 1

During the first season, Kirsten had to deal with suddenly having another child, Ryan Atwood. She also played a large role in her father's business. She was very successful and on numerous occasions this caused Sandy to feel a little insecure.

[edit] Season 2

The problems began for her during the second season when she feared that her husband was cheating on her with an old girlfriend, Rebecca Bloom. Sandy and Kirsten's marriage began to deteriorate, and she turned to alcohol to compensate. Her alcoholism was fueled by working closely with Carter Buckley, whom she had a crush on. While Sandy is away with the boys in Miami she invites Carter over and they share a passionate kiss before he decides to leave town. After Carter left her drinking problem became worse. She ended up drunk driving and getting into a severe car accident, which left her undamaged. When her father, Caleb, tries to talk to her about her drinking issue Kirsten says extremely rude things. This is the last time she will see her father. At the funeral Kirsten makes a scene by drinking far too much and screaming at Sandy in the middle of the reception. After an intervention from her family and friends she goes to rehab.

[edit] Season 3

There, she met Charlotte Morgan, a con artist who claimed to be interested in her, but in reality was only after her for money. She has since returned home to Newport and is now in the process of creating a high-class dating service with Julie Cooper.

[edit] Season 4

Kirsten continues working at New Match. Later in the Season, on her 40th birthday she finds out that she's pregnant. This reminds her of the time when she still dated Jimmy Cooper. During the big earthquake she's hurt, but her little daughter isn't harmed.
