'Dawson's Creek' Full Reunion ft James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes & More | Entertainment Weekly

There's no need to redo the whole show but instead turn pages from where they left off. The show was about life that's where I could get back into it.

he would have been fine, they were not afraid they know it would hurt him but that different but they were coward and they were the bad freind. dawson would never do that, he told pacey about his sister, proven once again he a better freind. and what pacey did was worse he then talk mad shit about dawson and then tried to set his sister up with her EX cheating boyfreind.

[@slvrangel22]

@@stevemyopinion423 Dawson would have been hurt and upset regardless because he loved Joey and Pacey was his best friend. However, Pacey should have talked with him before he even pursued Joey. He did this in season 1 at that carnival when Dawson wasn't even into Joey yet. Yet when it actually mattered to discuss it with him because him and Joey not only dated at that point but had dated fairly recently, Pacey who normally has balls doesn't. Even after his brother tells him to do this. Everyone acts like Dawson was a dick in how he handled it but he had seriously matured at this point. And people excuse Pacey's choice because they like Joey and Pacey together. Yet Pacey sleeps with a teacher. He gets a pass. Pacey is told by Andy her fantasy for losing her virginity, he wastes no time executing it, and when they finally do it writes her a note about it, and he gets a pass. Pacey goes after his best friend's ex (a major ex) and he gets a pass. Pacey is a dick to Joey at prom. He gets a pass. Pacey sleeps with married woman. He gets a pass. Dawson's screws up, he is a spoiled and immature brat. Dawson was immature when he dated Jen. After that he did mature. He had a few bratty moments, but overall matured. Watch it again. Joey was the immature one all along. Total nightmare to Jen. She finally gets Dawson then does a 180 on him. He gets really mad and upset about his mom for cheating on his father and Joey ridicules him for it. Uhmm really? The boy had every right to be upset. She dates Jack. Then crawls back to Dawson. Her dad screws up and Dawson gets blamed. Dawson starts looking at Eve and Joey can't stand Dawson isn't paying attention to her again so she throws herself at him. I like Pacey and Joey together. Dawson deserved better than Joey who was nothing but manipulative towards him. I always say, "you can't help who you fall for, but you can help what you do about it." Joey and Pacey spent a lot of time together so I don't blame them for falling for one another. They couldn't help that. How they handled it... regardless of how people think Dawson would have reacted was still wrong.

[@stevemyopinion423]

a few thinks, people forget that joey told dawson at the END of season 2 she never wanted to see him again then he back for a few days she never really tries to see him, ONLY when she see him with eve does she break into his room. he even tell her how hurt he is, he told pacey how hurt he is. but he still loves her. people also for get jen and pacey, they had a sex pact, pacey BREAK into dawson room to have sex with jen, NEVER told him. Then he find out pacey dating joey, again never tell him, and people act like dawson was in the wrong, to dawson since he does not see what see, he assume this is just pacey looking for sex or a fling. but dawson seem to get blame for everyone, on reddit a guy just said dawson a loser becouse he cried over joey. that sad that people think like that. ps i been downvoted like a 100 time for saying anything bad about pacey.

Some drugs can trigger psychotics episodes with visual and auditory hallucinations even if you don't have an underlying condition and are not on other meds, ask my clone I had a very pleasant conversation with in high school. Her dad and brother knew of her illness and she was on meds, so she was most likely diagnosed: some Freudian trained psychs/psychotherapists prefer to avoid giving the condition a name, as they consider it only an approximative tool for doctors and detrimental to the patient's journey, but that approach is not common in the States I believe.

I always wonder how many stories like this are out there (thank God they are) because of movies and TV.

[@stevemyopinion423]

no she was willing to lose pacey to keep dawson friendship, so that is just not true. and pacey put a lot of boundaries on her. he was alwasy jealous.

[@slvrangel22]

Her and Dawson were toxic together and if you rewatch, it's more her than Dawson that makes it that way. She pines over Dawson, meanwhile insulting and degrading him for being in a relationship with Jen. And we all know how she repeatedly treated Jen. Then Dawson finally "sees her" and she constantly critiques everything she says. He calls her new interest a hobby and she lashes out like he should know that something she never expressed interest in before is more than a hobby. He makes effort constantly and she pushes back. Then breaks up with him. He is not allowed to screw up. He is never allowed to be upset. In Season 1 he learns his mom is cheating and she makes him feel like sh*t for being upset at his mom. They get back together at the end of Season 2 and her dad screws up, Dawson is somehow the bad guy. She is awful towards him. He leaves town, comes back, starts paying attention to Eve and now Joey is throwing herself at him. He turns her down and again is made to be the bad guy. She is in a vulnerable state so he asks Pacey to keep an eye out for her because he can't. Which the way she treats him, he was right. Pacey knows what Joey means to Dawson and she knows. Yet instead of being up front with Dawson like any good friend should have been they choose not. Yes he would have still been hurt, but he couldn't have felt so betrayed. And he has a right to be hurt and angry. But once again Dawson is made to be the bad guy because Joey and Pacey screwed up. Dawson has some moments that are irritable. But if you go back and watch Joey has a lot to do with it. And she is actually pretty awful. As for Pacey... he makes some pretty crappy choices. Sleeps with teacher. Bullies brother for being gay. Calls Dawson an Oompa Loompa even after Dawson tells him how those words make him feel. Yet somehow it gets turned around on Dawson for being a jerk. He isn't allowed to have insecurities. He goes to a dance with Andy, refuses to dance with her then ends up dancing with someone else. Andy tells him her fantasy for losing her virginity and he immediately makes arrangements. Throws a party with dancers at Dawson's house. Encourages Dawson to get some with Eve. Treats Joey like trash at prom. Sleeps with married woman. Yet for whatever reason people always throw Dawson shade and put Joey and Pacey on pedestals.

[@stevemyopinion423]

yep i agree pacey mess up so much, what said about the andy thing is not that he tries to sleep with her, his note sex changes everything look if you sleep with a girl and it first time, i hope you at least planning to be there for her, he fight with joey more after he sleep with her to.

I would have loved to see more of the Joey and Jen friendship. It felt like it was always this fight over Dawson but I think they’re friendship could have been Moore explored. Love the show. Such memories ❤️

[@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey]

I agree!

[@aliceeve6421]

I've researched it and I think the friendship really bloomed from late season 4 to early season 5 before the whole charlie thing

[@kari6231]

I was in love with Pacey. He was the best cast member for sure. His personality was amazing! 😊😍

[@gavinkaufmanworld]

Brings back sooooo many great memories of my teen years!! "I don't wanna wait, for our lives to be over" 😌❤️

[@smilesam]

I love that EW does these reunions. They've done this with a number of shows I've loved and I always enjoy both the pictures and the interviews. it's just nice to see old friends again.

[@carlb7855]

I miss when Katie Holmes was the adorable girl next door every teenage boy loved. And then Tom Cruise happened...

[@doublefeature]

i will never get over the pure disappointment i felt when i found this out. i was so in love with her and i just couldn't believe she married him.

[@siobanethier]

Did you know that Katie wrote in her diary that she wanted to marry Tom Cruise?! She said that on the famous couch jumping episode of Oprah.

[@doublefeature]

@@siobanethier yeah she told some publication back in the day that her celeb crush was tom cruise. they ran with that for a while when they got married.

[@doublefeature]

@Pink Diamond she has some responsibility in it even if she was manipulated and kind of chosen to be his wife. i'm sure she was brain washed w/ Scientology bs tho. i'm just glad she got out and removed her child from the situation. i do think he kind of killed her career for a bit.

[@yokaigypsy]

Wow! Jen's grandma looks younger. It's cool to see that she's still alive and smiling.

[@ОлесяПроцина]

The creators story is awesome, love to see people make their dreams come true especially when you come from a struggle, so inspiring.

[@alexxisdelapena24]

I remember my mom watching this when I was a kid. Once it was on Netflix I watched and got hooked. I keep rewatching it. It’s my comfort show 🤍

[@DrFroyd123]

I was so mad when Joey broke up with Pacey the first time! Dawson as a character started great, but lost its greatness during the seasons. I was so into Pacey, I even started wearing his short pants (bermudas). Katie Holmes was so beautiful, watching her as Joey makes my heart tick even now, twenty years later. Thanks EW for this video and the dose of nostalgia, for days long gone

[@Precious_Diamondss]

Didn’t he dump her first tho cause he thought she wasn’t good enough for him and even though she tried to tell him that she loved him he kept pushing her away???

[@destinychild4659]

@@Precious_Diamondss Pacey dumped Joey, because of his insecutities. And thought Joey deserved better than him.

[@jonathanhughes8679]

I remember James at 15. Dang I have not thought of that in forever. Joshua is a good actor and really imo made the show. He was great in Fringe too. Jen’s story was just so heartbreaking and really is truly a bittersweet story. The show just breaks your heart with that. Grams was truly a wonderful character. She also gave that group a good grounding to grow up.

[@TeacherJupith]

My childhood memories. I always watched this every monday. This makes my teenager life excited.

[@elliesapphire6823]

My mum actually shown me this show when I was about 13-14 myself in 2014. I was so in love with it even then and was so happy that my mum introduced me to such an old treasure

I think it’s over done. They don’t look comfortable

[@reynaldiplg]

Totally agree, al look gorgeous with beautiful clothing and styling….

[@VLVR4]

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, EW 💜 I was 15 years old when that show came out and I felt like it was telling my story- I was Joey, through and through! This put a huge smile on my face just reminiscing about my teenage years and how Dawson’s Creek helped me get through some of the most awkward years of my life 😊

[@jennifergrady5972]

I absolutely love the way Joshua Jackson still looks at Katie Holmes. 😍

[@bradb9370]

I love this show. I watched it when I was a teenager and re-watched it again last year. It was even better than what I remembered. The fantastic acting makes you so attached to the characters. I love that it was filmed in Wilmington which is only 45min from where I am from(Surf City). My wife and I went and explored the filming locations last year as I was watching the show. I was overwhelmed with a sadness when I finished the show because of the realization that the period in time depicted is no more. This show is such a staple of the late 90's early 2000's.

[@lennysvibe]

This was really good...I never watched this show...but I'm familiar with all the actors...and the way they presented this reunion makes me feel like I watched the whole show...great job!

[@keenansummers]

I was a teenager that period of time and I'm glad for that. Made me stronger. And the soundtrack helped alot.

[@claramerchant9210]

The characters of Dawson, joey and pacey were played impectably Its as if they were those characters The rest were icing on the cake

This is my favorite show of all time. This cast has made it in a big way n season 3 pacey n Joey was my favorite! I was obsessed with this show!!!! 97 I use to get with my sister n friends every Wednesday nite to watch this. My so called life needs to comeback too!

[@PixieLavender]

Is it me or did anyone feel underwhelmed by this? I thought it was going to be the cast talking a majority of the time but that part was minor. It was similar to a True E Hollywood story like documentary lol

I watched the whole series once again after 20 years, I cried like hell in the final episode, also in between some other episodes, young me had had a great taste of series as I see :)

[@luisalbertojimenez7319]

I cried the last episode 😭

[@wilson-omusodaniella4404]

The 90s and early 2000 had the best shows, no doubt. All my fave shows are from that era, organic storyline, authentic and they all had depth.

[@michaelaspiro8160]

I love Dawson’s creek . I discovered it later In life and was always drawn to its authentic message about the bonds of friendship . Some friends relationships change over time , some people come thru your life and just pass thru leaving traces footprints and others remain forever as constants your true friends . In a very authentic and real way besides it’s many romantic relationships within the show it was truly a love story of a group of friends in the end and that was what I loved about it that was why the ending of the show even though it was so heartbreaking was so powerful . Don’t get me wrong I love PJ I feel grateful we got to see that relationship because it was truly special due to josh and Kate’s natural chemistry and love for one another but it was just a piece of the show . I loved the show because it was so easy to love so many of the relationships not just one .

[@patriciajones4343]

Joshua Jackson is my absolute favorite, perfection 😍❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s truly timeless .... such great memories as I re-watched it just recently at age 40. I was in high school the first time around watching it at age 16 and it’s part of my young Life that I cherish now as even as an adult . Wonderfully written and reminiscent of better times . Truly appreciative of this memory.

I love Andy, do you notice that almost every character meshes with their individual personalities

[@tbird4u1]

Thank god it didn’t end with Joey and Dawson. Pacey deserved the ending he got. Throughout the series he loved Joey like crazy, even back to season 1. And he went through hell and back with his family, with Joey, and with feeling empty in his life. Dawson never seemed to care for her the way he did. Although he did love her but I always felt like it was more of a friend bond. Plus Katie and Josh’s chemistry helped propel that relationship.

[@karismalovesglitter]

Even as friends he cared about her so much 🧡

[@ClauEyT7]

Yes! I think at the begining they where so younge so they didnt knew that kind of strong love was a friends love, so that confuse dawson and joey to the point they thought they were in love when they didnt

[@jenniferwhite2945]

Katie and Josh dated in real life in the earlier seasons of the show. There was a true chemistry there.

[@tbird4u1]

@@karismalovesglitter yes! And the fact that when they broke up or she was going in a different direction he didn’t pull the crap Dawson always did (getting angry, kicking the ladder off his roof, resorting to “competition” tendencies, and giving her ultimatums) instead he stayed supportive and rational and pushed her to be the best person she could. And he also accepted that she should be happy... no matter who it was with. That was important to him. He always put her first, and it was completely selfless. That’s why he was always better.

[@amandaredd3057]

I never really noticed it before but I can actually see a lot of Kevin Williamson in Kerr Smith! Even physically... well, in Jack - dang it, you know what I mean!!

[@3SecondsOfHope]

Great reunion interviews! My only complaint is that they didn't talk about Andy and her depression. That was such a huge part for me when I first watched it, cause growing up it wasn't something that was talked about or acknowledged in our home. This show was therapy for me in that area and Andy was a big part of that.

[@karenconnor6682]

Dawson’s Creek was a show with huge heart and I love the nostalgic feel of the Creek - it will endure 😊

[@eloisebrynlee]

Love this! I’m currently binge watching this on Netflix because I’ve never seen every episode. I saw more of the earlier ones. One of the reasons I love this (still) now is they were the last generation to come of age without cell phones and the Internet. It reminds me of my own childhood as well although I am slightly older. Now on with this reunion watch!
