Fox has recruited Bob DeLaurentis as executive producer/showrunner of its newly picked-up drama series The O.C., from Warner Bros. TV. Meanwhile, Jeff Melvoin has joined Rod Lurie and Marc Frydman as an executive producer on another of this year's crop of pilots that have been given early series orders -- ABC's drama Lines of Duty, from DreamWorks TV and Touchstone TV. The O.C., co-starring Peter Gallagher, focuses on a street-smart teen who winds up in the affluent world of Orange County, Calif. DeLaurentis will executive produce the series alongside McG, Josh Schwartz and Joseph Dougherty. DeLaurentis executive produced NBC's drama Providence and the network's pilot Chestnut Hill. Lines of Duty, starring Leslie Bibb, Leslie Hope and David Paymer, centers on a regional FBI office's fight against organized crime. Melvoin will help series creator Lurie, who has a busy feature schedule, execute the show on a day-to-day basis. Melvoin won an Emmy in 1992 as part of the producing team of CBS' Northern Exposure. He most recently was a co-executive producer on NBC's midseason drama Mister Sterling.
