'''Charlotte Morgan''' is a [[fictional character]] from the third season of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] television series ''[[The O.C.]]'', played by [[Jeri Ryan]].

==History==
===Season 3===

Charlotte was introduced to viewers in the season 3 episode [[The Aftermath (The O.C. episode)|The Aftermath]] as a recovering alcoholic, but in later episodes, it turned out she was a con artist.

She at first tried to get money from [[Kirsten Cohen]]. However, this failed and she was forced to try [[Julie Cooper|Julie Cooper-Nichol]]. They planned to throw a fund-raiser. This was a ploy by Charlotte to steal all the donations, although she was found out by Julie when she went into her handbag at a restaurant and found numerous credit cards in different names. Charlotte gets Julie in on the scam, however in [[The Anger Management]] 6 episodes later, Julie does the right thing and asks people to write checks to the charity so Charlotte could not steal the money. With her plan foiled, she departed from Newport.
