At this point, it seems unlikely that Dawson and the gang will return to the creek after twelve years.

With the buzz around reunion seasons of completed shows like FULL HOUSE, former DAWSON'S CREEK star Katie Holmes said she does not think her cast will follow suit.

"I don't want them to grow up," said Holmes. "You know, it's kind of like your parents -- they never get out of their 50s, that's where they are."

In response to a question about a possible revamped, modern version with a whole new cast, Holmes said,

"I don't know, does it work today? We just did it, we all enjoyed it. It was of a certain time, it was pre-Internet. There was an INNOCENCE there."

Katie Holmes is an American actress and model who first achieved fame for her role as Joey Potter on The WB television teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003. She appeared in 1998's Disturbing Behavior, a thriller, which won her an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance. In 2000 Holmes featured in Wonder Boys which got positive attention from many leading critics. Holmes hosted Saturday Night Live on February 24, 2001.

Holmes had a starring role in 2003's Pieces of April, a gritty comedy about a dysfunctional family on Thanksgiving. Many critics and audiences agreed that Holmes had given her best performance in the film as April. In the 2005 film Batman Begins, the most successful film of her career to date, she played Rachel Dawes, an attorney in the Gotham City district attorney's office and the childhood sweetheart of the title character. She also appeared in art house films such as The Ice Storm, horror films such as Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and thrillers including Abandon. She has also played on Broadway in a production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons and had numerous guest roles on television programs such as How I Met Your Mother. Holmes will next appear in Showtime's RAY DONOVAN, premiering July 12.

Dawson's Creek is an American teen drama television series about the fictional lives of a close-knit group of friends beginning in HIGH SCHOOL and continuing in college.

The series stars James Van Der Beek as Dawson Leery, Katie Holmes as his best friend and love interest Joey Potter, and Joshua Jackson as their fellow best friend Pacey Witter. Michelle Williams plays Jen Lindley, who moves from New York to Capeside.

The show was created by Kevin Williamson and debuted on The WB on January 20, 1998 and was produced by Columbia TriStar Television (which was renamed Sony Pictures Television before the sixth and final season).

The series was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Part of a new craze for teen-themed movies and television shows in America in the late 1990s, it catapulted its leads to stardom and became a defining show for The WB. The series ended on May 14, 2003.

The show placed #90 on Entertainment Weekly‍‍ 's "New TV Classics" list.
