Reliving my teen years over on Netflix and I’ve decided to crown Pacey Witter king of all teen crushes. 100% still in love with him, and no other love interest type characters compare.
AIBU?

@EdinaMonsoon

YANBU. Not only is he handsome, he's also mature and grounded. Which seems like a rarity in that show! Dawson was such a whining little toad, borderline narcissist Grin.

And Joshua Jackson continues to be an utterly fine man too Wink I'll watch him in anything.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with Dawson. The actor James Van whatever his name is comes across as a knob too.

Joshua Jackson seems like a very fine man 😍

Littlebelina · 05/12/2020 18:31

@BornInAThunderstorm, yes not sure I can cope with too much Dawson. I suspect I might find him rather tiresome now I'm, umm, a little bit older (Nothing against James Van der Beek who always comes across as lovely).

Currently watching all the chappy netflix Xmas films so might tackle Dawson's creek next

I loved JVDB in dont trust the B in apartment 23...he took the piss out of himself and went up in my estimations a bit

Cba78 · 05/12/2020 18:33

He was a lovely character, but a bit safe and possibly in the friend zone.
‘My so called life’ with Jordan Catelano on the other hand 🔥

SinkGirl · 05/12/2020 18:35

Never appealed to me at all. Can anyone really top Jordan Catalano though? I think not.

youvegottenminuteslynn · 05/12/2020 18:36

Totally agree re Pacey.

Also Seth from The OC.

Womencanlift · 05/12/2020 18:36

Joshua has just taken over the lead in a new series called Dr Death that Jamie Dornan had just started filming when lockdown happened. Now it’s started again and Jamie can’t do it do it so Joshua has taken over the part

DesperatelySeekingSunshine · 05/12/2020 18:37

I bloody loved Pacey, and thought Dawson was always so emotionally manipulative.
He didn’t want Joey, but didn’t want anybody else to either.
I love the final episode when they’re all grown up living happily in their apartment together.

DSsnmum · 05/12/2020 18:37

I love Pacey/Joshua Jackson. I never understood why Joey was hung up on Dawson for so long when Pacey was right there. Joshua Jackson was my massive teen crush, along with Milo Ventimiglia in Gilmore Girls. Both crushes still going strong!

DSsnmum · 05/12/2020 18:38

And yes the the pp, I loved Seth too !

Cba78 · 05/12/2020 18:39

@SinkGirl Jinx lol..he was so 🔥

BornInAThunderstorm · 05/12/2020 18:40

Nothing safe about this guy @Cba78 Grin

Ooh yes lovely pacey! Big crush here too. He was great in fringe as well

Cba78 · 05/12/2020 18:42

@Borninathunderstorm 😂

Agree about Dawson though, massive drip. He often pops up in cheesy Xmas films

ChickensForTheHound · 05/12/2020 19:02

Fringe was great!

britnay · 05/12/2020 19:21

Ah, Dawson's Creek I was always Team Jen! :o

Buffy - Team Giles! :D

MrsRockAndRoll · 05/12/2020 19:31

Loved him. Rewatched it not so long ago & still find him utterly charming.

He bought Joey a wall 😍

CheshireDing · 05/12/2020 19:43

Always loved Joshua Jackson since I saw Dawson’s creek many moons ago. His Wife has just had a baby, lucky lady getting to shag him 😂.

Yes OP you need to watch

The Affair
Little Fires Everywhere
Shutter

He is gorgeous

DesperatelySeekingSunshine · 05/12/2020 19:43

I’d have definitely run off and jumped on the boat with him...

HugeAckmansWife · 05/12/2020 19:46

Pacey and Spike all the way. If anyone has never seen the one off finale of DC, it's one if the only things that has ever made me cry (tv/film wise obvs)

Littlebelina · 09/12/2020 19:36

Right, so I've started rewatching. Remember being very pro Joey, anti Jen initially but watching the first episode and Joey was horrible to Jen and Jen seems lovely if a little pretentious. Weird how perceptions change. Hasn't aged that badly as series go

SebastianTheCrab · 09/12/2020 19:40

Oh wow this brings back some memories (of teen crushes).

But no one could top Ryan Phillipe in Cruel Intentions. I was obsessed.

Also Paul Walker (RIP).

But otherwise Pacey - yes, Angel - yes, Seth - yes (gd I loved the OC).

polkadotpixie · 09/12/2020 19:40

Loved Pacey! ❤️ (still do actually!)

Offtothedogs · 09/12/2020 19:41

I read recently that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were a real life couple for a while when they were making DC, she describes him as her first love. Makes me feel sad given all the Tom Cruise madness that came after.

Lolololololol · 09/12/2020 19:48

I'm re watching it on Netflix, and I am 100% team Pacey! Dawson was so self involved, and borderline abusive to Joey, its like she walks around on eggshells so he doesn't get upset and throw a tantrum! I never watched it all the way to the end first time round, so looking forward to seeing how it ends, fingers crossed J&P make it 😀
