Former Dawson's Creek stars James Van Der Beek and Kerr Smith recently reunited at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut to reminisce about their time on the iconic teen drama series. The actors engaged in a conversation about their experiences behind the scenes of Dawson's Creek, which was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Smith shared anecdotes about the camaraderie among the cast and crew, revealing that they often spent weekends on boats, enjoying activities like crab-eating and barbecuing on islands. He humorously recalled the risks involved in their water adventures, particularly with jetskis, joking about his near-misses and high-speed mishaps.
Van Der Beek added to the tales, mentioning how they would brave hurricane waves on jetskis, creating thrilling yet sometimes troublesome moments. The actors' water escapades were not without challenges, as Smith mentioned incidents where jetskis needed towing due to propeller damage.
Dawson's Creek, created by Kevin Williamson, aired from 1998 to 2003 for six successful seasons on The WB (now The CW). The series followed the lives of two best friends navigating the complexities of adolescence and relationships.
The show's ensemble cast, including Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, and others, contributed to its enduring popularity. Holmes recently expressed uncertainty about the possibility of a Dawson's Creek revival, citing concerns about preserving the show's original essence in today's digital age.
90s Con, where Van Der Beek and Smith reunited, is taking place at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Connecticut, offering fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane with their favorite 90s stars.
