Contents

Throughout its run, the series was generally led by four primary cast members (three in season 5), who were credited by their first names. Their storylines were largely developed by a number of supporting cast members. It originally focused on Lauren Conrad, who appeared in its predecessor, as she pursued a career in the fashion industry. It additionally placed emphasis on her housemate Heidi Montag and their friends Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port. Conrad's friend Lo Bosworth and Montag's boyfriend Spencer Pratt developed major positions as part of the supporting cast in the second season, while his sister Stephanie Pratt was added in the third. After moving to New York City, Port left the series upon the conclusion of the fourth season to launch her own spin-off The City . [5]

Looking to pursue other career opportunities, Conrad left the series halfway through the fifth season, and was subsequently replaced by fellow Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County cast member Kristin Cavallari. [6] Bosworth and the female Pratt joined Cavallari and Patridge as primary cast members in the sixth and final season, while Montag and her husband Pratt were removed from the show after four episodes.
