James Van Der Beek on Teen Drama Characters

5 02 2010

“I was in my trailer the other day, and one of these other teen shows was on, and a lot of these characters are pretty outwardly conniving. I think our characters were pretty well-intentioned, and very smart, very precocious as teenagers are.”

  • Star News has an article on Robert Buckley (Clay, One Tree Hill) participating in a charity event with Aerpostale.
  • Kristin says Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina, Gossip Girl) will be in GG’s season finale. The quotes in the article are from a spoiler chat from January, though.
  • According to the same article, Connor Paolo (Eric, Gossip Girl) will appear on an episode of Mercy, which also stars Trachtenberg and now James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek).
  • The February 8 issue of PEOPLE has a short interview with Kerr Smith (Jack, Dawson’s Creek). When asked about his favorite DC memory, he says: “In the summer we as a cast would go to Masonboro Island, [N.C.]. We’d get out the grill and go Jet Skiing and swimming. It was the most fun I ever had in my life.” If you recall, John Wesley Shipp (Mitch, Dawson’s Creek) made a similar comment in my interview with him.
  • The headline alone of this article on Fringe, which stars Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek), makes it worth posting.
  • McG (executive producer, The O.C.) may direct the romantic comedy This Means War.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Melissa: When does voting end for the CW Awards?
Voting is open for the next week, and we’ll announce the winners of the second annual CW Awards on Monday, Feb. 8. Good luck everybody!

Emily in Tallahassee, Fla.: I’m not expecting a big makeout scene, but is there any hint of Olivia/Peter coming up in Fringe?
Ahem. Everybody must watch this week’s Fringe (but especially you Emily in Tallahassee, Fla.) even if you’ve been wavering a bit on that series. Something that we’ve been waiting to see since the pilot finally (finally!) happens. The scenes in question are totally gratifying (albeit rushed a bit, when this subplot might have been better served with a little foreplay preamble), but then what we are given is snatched away again, in totally heartbreaking and perfect TV form. Excellent work, Bad Robots. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Lamar in Dahoga, Pa.: Can you tell us anything about Leverage? It’s such an underrated series.
Luke Perry
guest stars as a clairvoyant con man on this week’s ep, and fans of the former heartthrob will not be disappointed. Most of Perry’s scenes are with Jeri Ryan, and Luke just can’t say enough about her. “Jeri Ryan and I had a great time. When you’re the guest cast, you never really know how it’ll be, but it was good,” he tells us. Obviously it’s Leverage, so they tend to catch the bad guy in the end, but might Luke be back again? Here’s what he says: “I just sort of play it as it comes. But we may get together on something down the road.” And there you have it.

Notes:

I posted about The CW Awards last week.

Peter on Fringe is played Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek). If you go to the actual webpage, they included a picture of him.

Perry played Dylan on Beverly Hills 90210 and Jeri Ryan played Charlotte on The O.C. Leverage also stars Christian Kane (Nick, Dawson’s Creek).
