Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland’s relationship has been a major storyline on Netflix’s Selling the OC. Their dynamic shifted from a close friendship to a confusing flirtation, leaving viewers wondering what truly happened between them. While season 3 showcased their undeniable chemistry and moments of intimacy, like a shared kiss at the Oppenheim Group’s San Diego office opening, it also highlighted underlying tension and mixed signals.

One of the pivotal moments that characterized their complicated relationship was the Nashville trip debacle.

Adding another layer to their complex dynamic was Hall’s revelation that she was dating another man and considering a trip to Italy with him. This prompted a confession from Stanaland in the season 3 finale, admitting he didn’t want her to go because he didn’t want to lose her. However, the episode concluded with Hall contemplating her trip, leaving the future of their relationship uncertain.
