YouTube Video of the Week

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.

Love Triangles Pt. 2: Dawson’s Creek

27 01 2009

YESTERDAY: BEVERLY HILLS, 90210

TODAY: DAWSON’S CREEK

JEN-DAWSON-JOEY

How It Started: Best friends since they were little kids, Joey and Dawson’s friendship begins to fracture when Dawson becomes infatuated with the new girl in town, Jen.  Though Joey is harboring secret romantic feelings for Dawson, he begins seeing Jen.

How It Ended: Dawson’s relationship with Jen doesn’t last long and he soon realizes he has feelings for Joey, too.  They are together off and on throughout the series (they end off; see below) but Dawson and Jen also get back together for a short time in season 5.

Key Episodes: 1.1, 1.7, 1.10, 1.12-1.13, 2.1, 2.3, 2.10-2.11, 4.23, 5.8, 5.10, 5.17, 5.23, 6.1-6.2

DAWSON-JOEY-PACEY

How It Started: In season 3, Pacey begins to develop feelings for Joey.  Much to Joey’s surprise, she does as well.  They hesitantly pursue a relationship in secret but Joey calls things off after Dawson finds out and reacts negatively.  By the end of the season, though, Dawson realizes he cannot stand in the way of their love and so Joey and Pacey begin a relationship.

How It Ended: The memories of her relationship with Dawson hang like a cloud over both Joey and Pacey during their relationship.  They break up towards the end of the season 4, and Joey and Dawson share a kiss in that season’s finale.  Throughout seasons 5 and 6, Joey and Dawson struggle with the idea of being together again.  In season 6, Joey and Pacey do get back together before a short time before Joey calls it off.  In the series finale, which takes place 5 years after the end of season 6, Joey is again torn by Dawson and Pacey.  Ultimately, though, she chooses to spend her life with Pacey.

Key Episodes: 3.1, 3.9, 3.12-3.14, 3.17-3.23, 4.1, 4.3, 4.7, 4.14, 4.16, 4.21, 4.23, 5.3, 5.23, 6.1-6.2, 6.15, 6.18, 6.21-6.24
