If there’s two things you can count on teen dramas for, it’s love and anguish. This week I’ll be counting down the 10 saddest moments in teen drama history. In some cases it will be a single scene and in others it will be a montage or culmination of events. Either way, get the tissues ready; the tragedies will get worse as the week goes on…
10. Dawson feels guilty for fighting with his father before his death (Dawson’s Creek, Episode 5.4: The Long Goodbye)
9. Joey confronts her father in prison (Dawson’s Creek, Episode 1.13: Decisions)
Some exciting news just came out!
TVShowsonDVD.com is reporting that Dawson’s Creek: The Complete Series box set will be available in November.
They don’t have any more information but I’ve always found this site to be very reputable!
That means we can look forward to all six seasons (totaling more than 100 episodes), including the pilot and series finale, and hopefully some amazing special features.

3. Joey and Pacey (Dawson’s Creek)
When the show began and even through its first two or so seasons, you never would’ve imagined Pacey and Joey paired up together. Though Pacey once contemplated the idea (in an early season one episode), the idea of them together not only seemed unlikely but also just not…right. But then season 3 comes along and everything changes: the characters, the storylines, the show. The season marked a turning point for the series, and the turning point in who my preferred couple was. As Pacey slowly fell for Joey, longed for her, ached for her, I did too. I felt Pacey’s urge to be with her, his growing love and loneliness. For anyone who has ever experienced unrequited love–or impossible love–it was impossible not to be touched by the path this storyline took. Though they broke up at the end of season 4, the bond was unbreakable, the memories unforgettable and the destiny sealed. With the maturity that only time can bring, Joey and Pacey grew enough to be able to commit to each other once and for all. While that realization in the series finale was a little rushed, it is satisfying to know that the show did end with them together and I can forever think of them that way.
Chad Michael Murray is one of just two actors in the teen drama genre with a special distinction: he’s had a significant role on two series! CMM appeared on 12 episodes of Dawson’s Creek circa 2001-2002. His character, Charlie Todd, wooed both Jen and Joey.
Just a year-and-a-half later he made his debut as Lucas, one of the lead characters on One Tree Hill.
Here’s a look at CMM’s appearances on DC.
CMM was the only one to hold this distinction until a few months ago when James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek) began appearing on One Tree Hill as Dixon. Now both CMM and James have appeared on each other’s shows and acted in scenes together!
Coincidentally, CMM and Hilarie Burton (Peyton) shared one scene on Dawson’s Creek as well, when she guest-starred as herself. This was, obviously, pre-OTH.
