Before Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise and entered into the wacky world of scientology, fans knew her as Joey Potter, a wide-eyed girl from the wrong side of the creek torn between Dawson and Pacey. During the six-season run of Dawson’s Creek, Katie became extremely close with her costars, James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson.
When the brunette beauty was approached about taking part in a reunion, she jumped at the idea, but was shot down by her controlling husband.
“[Producers] were begging her to sign on for a reunion movie,” a source told Us Weekly. “Tom said absolutely no way and thought going backward would be bad.”
Though Dawson’s Creek was often criticized for it’s over-the-top acting and SAT-style vocabulary, it didn’t deter Katie from wanting to reunite with her old pals. “I had so much fun working on that show and I loved everyone so much and I think about it with such fond memories,” she gushed during November 2011 appearance on Good Morning America.
Katie “didn’t care how ‘low-brow’ he [Tom] thinks Dawson’s Creek is,” added the source. “She wanted to do the movie and reconnect with her fans. And have fun — something she rarely does anymore.”
Now that Katie has filed for divorce, maybe a reunion special is finally in the works.
