The finale of Dawson’s Creek could have gone a totally different way if the writer stuck to his original intentions.
Because instead of Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) ending up with Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) she was actually supposed to choose Dawson Leery.
As a firm supporter of Team Jacey over Team Jawson we are so glad that writer Kevin Williamson changed his mind, and here’s why.
Speaking at the ATX Television Festival Dawson’s Creek executive producer Paul Stupin said:
Originally, when Kevin [Williamson] and I started talking, it was pretty clear to both of us it would probably be she and Dawson,” executive producer Paul Stupin said. “So, the first half of that two-hour [finale], Kevin wrote with the understanding and the awareness that it was going to be, ultimately, those two people who ended up together on our show. But halfway through, Kevin calls me and says, “You know what? I changed my mind.”
