To want to reminisce about Dawson’s Creek (and the fine specimen they call Joshua Jackson)

Just seen some snippets of the Dawsons Creek reunion on Instagram. It’s giving me all the feels. Jen and Joey hugging! Joey and Pacey back together! Loved seeing all the cast but so sad that Dawson was too ill to attend. I wish him all the luck in the world.

Joshua Jackson is one of my crushes. Loved him in Fringe.

Twirlsdippedinahotcuppalover · 23/09/2025 20:09

I love him in anything! He is aging like a fine wine .

Watch the latest karate kid film. I got very overexcited when he popped up in that!!

He remains a remarkably attractive man. I highly recommend Little Fires Everywhere if you haven't seen it.

James VDB looks so very ill now doesn’t he? Very sad indeed - only 48.

but yes to the reminiscing about Joshua Jackson…such a fine delicious specimen of a man! Team Pacey all the way ❤️

Loved Pacey from the opening episode. Have always crushed on JJ - he is aging so nicely!

Also v sad to see JVDB. Got a bit teary seeing his wife and kids coming onstage.

Am going to get my 16 yr old daughter to start watching dawsons - will be interesting to see what she thinks!

Such an emotional reunion. Especially his children singing the theme turn.
Just rewatched the first two Dawnson's Creek episodes on ITV. The video shop is making me feel old!

Always Team Pacey. Dawson was such a whiney little man baby. V sad for JVDB though. I had a friend who always stopped watching after Pacey and Joey sail off in the boat. I loved the episode in Boston where they get locked in a store and spend the night. She shaves his beard off. And the finale obvs..

When I read your thread title, I actually sighed nostalgically!!!🥰 I absolutely adore Joshua Jackson!! As many others have said, he has aged so well. Point of correction, it was "Pacey's Creek"! ☺️

I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole watching Pacey and Joey clips not too long ago! I wish they'd put all the series back on Netflix! I had such a big Pacey crush when I watched it as a teen.

I saw the Internet pics of Katie and Joshua filming something together and am so looking forward to pretending it's Pacey and Joey back together again! 😁

Pacey/JJ all the way!

I've seen lots of TikTok clips of the reunion and it looked incredible. So very sad to see how ill JVDB is though, and very emotional for his family I imagine.

A commenter pointed out that it might also have been quite emotional for Michelle Williams whose daughter also lost her father at a young age with the death of Heath Ledger, and although JVDB is obviously still with us and we all very much hope he makes it through, it's still so sad to think of the worst case.

Yes I thought it was quite sad and I hope he recovers but there did seem to be that bittersweet undercurrent of it not just being a reunion and those who love him wanting him to know just how much he means to them

Yes, it was certainly emotional to see James Van Der Beek looking so frail. Hopefully he will recover. His wife and children seem to be lovely.

The whole cast come across as thoroughly decent people tbh. Probably one of the rare teen shows where half of the cast didn't end up going off the rails completely.

The four main stars have all had successful careers to varying degrees and seem to be very sensible and together individuals.

I know this has probably been commented on, but is there something going on between Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes? They barely let go of each other's hands the whole way through the reunion and left together in the same car with his child. I know that they are close friends but that seems to be very close...

Nice to see that the cast all seem to very fond of each other. The press always seemed keen to create drama between Michelle Williams and Katie Holmes, but it always seemed that although they weren't best friends there was no particular bad feeling between them.

I absolutely loved it! I remember buying the soundtrack on cd. Joshua was also fine in The Affair.
