It’s been 27 years since Dawson’s Creek first aired on The WB in 1998, and this teen drama has been tugging at fans’ heartstrings ever since. When it comes to viewers’ love for nostalgia, it doesn’t get much better than seeing this main cast of characters all on one screen.
James Van Der Beek starred as the one and only Dawson Leery. Before she became a five-time Oscar-nominated actress, Michelle Williams played Dawson’s neighbor from New York City, Jen Lindley. And of course, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson act as Joey Potter and Pacey Witter, two characters so beloved that people still ship them in real life to this day.
In light of Van Der Beek’s cancer diagnosis, the cast recently joined together to do a table read of the show’s pilot episode to raise money for the F Cancer organization. While Van Der Beek was originally scheduled to be there, he had to drop out at the last minute because of his health and was replaced by none other than Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The reunion was an emotional moment for the actors and fans, myself included. I’ve grown up watching and loving Dawson’s Creek, so I thought, Why not get even more in my feels and go back and rewatch the first episode?
Let me tell you, the rewatch was a sentimental journey to say the least.
