Dawson's Creek fans sent into a frenzy as Busy Philipps has her say on former co-stars reuniting more than 20 years after the show finished

Daily Mail​6 days ago
Dawson's Creek fans were sent into a frenzy on Tuesday when Busy Philipps had her say on Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes at last reuniting.
Ohio-born Katie, 46, and Joshua, 47, beamed with delight on Monday as they were spotted on set together for the first time in 22 years as they begin filming their upcoming trilogy Happy Hours.
The pair famously portrayed Capeside High School sweethearts on Dawson's Creek for six seasons more than two decades ago.
Taking to Instagram, Katie gushed about her friendship with Joshua, writing: 'I am so very grateful to be working again with so many of my wonderful friends on this film HAPPY HOURS. And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship.'
And in the comments section, Busy - who played Pacey Witter's (Joshua Jackson) girlfriend in the teen soap, Audrey Liddell - showed that she's just as excited as supporters to see her former co-stars reunite.
The 46-year-old actress wrote: 'We are seated.'
It comes after Busy and Joshua also reunited just last month as they were pictured together at a charity event in Los Angeles.
The pair looked thrilled to see each other after arriving at the event in late-June, with both of them bursting into laughter while shared a hug on the red carpet.
And just a few short weeks later Holmes and Jackson were pictured together for the first time in years on Monday on the set of Happy Hours.
Katie (Joey Potter) and Joshua (Pacey Witter) portrayed former lovers who cross paths years later and rekindle their romances while navigating the challenges of career in Dawson's Creek, which ended after six series in 2003.
Not only did their characters strike up a romance, but so too did Katie and Joshua, with the pair dating during the first two seasons of Dawson's Creek.
Katie told Rolling Stone in 1998: 'I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year, I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable.
'I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends. It's weird, it's almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now. He's been in the business so long, and he's really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.'
And after all these years, Dawson's Creek fans were ecstatic to see some of their favourite stars together again on Monday.

Taking to Katie's comments section, they wrote: ''Joey and Pacey forever!'
'Joey and Pacey end game,' Instagram user @hapagal73 agreed.
'You know you triggered an entire generation with this post,' Instagram user @shanja12 commented. '[I] cannot wait to see the project!'
Instagram user @dani_o_catlady wrote: 'Elder millennial minds are exploding right now.'
Instagram user @sonolaniki shared a funny meme of Dawson crying.
'Well, at least we didn't have to wait for our lives to be over!' Instagram user @einheinser quoted the theme song, Paula Cole's 1997 hit I Don't Want to Wait.
'Hear me out,' Instagram user @mrsblumenfeld commented. 'You and Josh fall in love in real life.'

Both Jackson and Holmes are divorced parents-of-daughters having officially ended his five-year marriage to Jodie Turner-Smith in May.
Holmes ended her six-year marriage to Tom Cruise in 2012.
Happy Hours, their new endeavour, sees Holmes and Jackson star alongside Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson, and Jack Martin.
Sting's second wife Trudie Styler is one of the eight IMDb-credited producers on the ambitious project.
The Rare Objects director-star enlisted her Our Town castmates John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., and Sky Smith to appear in her trilogy.

Take the near-impossible quiz that was used to determine if applicants at Vogue were fit for the job

Vogue magazine is the cream of the crop in the fashion world, and many dream of working at elite publication - but could you have hacked working at Vogue during its prime? Luckily for the fashion forward amongst us there's a way to see how you'd fare working the fashion bible. The New York Times recently released an interactive quiz to determine where your strengths - and weaknesses - lie. As per the Times, to work for famed Vogue editor Anna Wintour in Vogue's glory days, you had to know a little bit of everything. The quiz, which was created by Wintour's top editors, is based on a real exam that was given to those applying for an assistant position at the publication in the '90s. It would test the applicants elite cultural literacy and quiz them on a 'declaration of what mattered to Vogue.' The original '90s exam consisted of a whopping four pages full of 178 notable people, places, books and films - all of which had to be identified on the spot by the applicant. However, The Times' quiz - which you can take here - made it a tad easier than the original, with a multiple-choice format instead. The interactive quiz uses names and cultural references on the original exam - although the publication noted that applicants in the '90s didn't have the luxury of multiple-choice. It consists of eight different sections, with each section focusing on a different area of knowledge - and the results have been mixed. Questions in the quiz are mainly New York focused, for example, you're asked to name a 'Seventh Avenue Fashion House' (DKNY) or a 'See-and-to-be seen disco popular with the fashion crowd' (Studio 54). Eager quiz-takers flocked to the comments section to share their results - with many claiming despite the quiz deeming them a great fit, they still wouldn't have stood a chance in the illustrious Vogue offices of the '90s. '32/32 but as a somewhat short person of color who won't wear heels and will never fit into a size four dress, it could have been 1000/1000 and I still would not have gotten the job,' one user commented. '32/32 so passed the test but I would not have fit in during the '90s - overweight, pimply, leftist, who wore plaid and jeans,' wrote someone else. 'In the early 2000s I was the subject of an article in Vogue for my profession. They used my words and not my picture. I think if Wintour saw what I looked like she would have cancelled the article. '32/32. I had a career In fashion. At my first interview at 23, my soon to be boss asked, "Can you lie and be deceitful?" to which I promptly answered 'yes' and got the job,' recalled someone else, jokingly adding: 'Ah the '80s.' The original '90s exam consisted of four pages full of 178 notable people, places, books and films - all of which had to be identified on the spot by the applicant. Wintour is seen in 2019 Others found the quiz difficult, admitting they 'could not have done it without multiple choice.' The results either informed the quiz taker they didn't pass if they didn't do well, their resume would be kept on file if they scored somewhere in the middle, or, for those who score high enough, they passed. Then '90s era of Vogue has long been a fascination by fashion lovers and culture critics alike, with former British editor-in-chief Edward Enninful declaring that the '90s turned the fashion industry 'upside down.' In 2024, Hulu released a six-part series titled In Vogue: The 90s, which delved into the decade's most defining moments. In 2023, a former assistant of famous editor Wintour, Lily Stav Gildor, 31, shared what it was really like to work for her. Gildor worked as one of three assistants to the Editor-in-Chief of US Vogue from January 2014 to May 2015 and has gone viral on TikTok sharing her experiences at the magazine - and what she learned. Gildor revealed London-born Wintour taught her 'connections are the most important thing.' 'I learned, so so much from her. I learned about business I learned about fashion I learned about media. And in the last year I started my own business as a textile designer and it's still use the information today,' she gushed. Questions in the quiz are mainly New York focused, for example, you have to name a 'See-and-to-be seen disco popular with the fashion crowd' (Studio 54) In her book, Anna: The Biography, author Amy Odel interviewed several of Wintour's former assistants to get the rundown on how a typical day of Wintours' looked Anna's staff reportedly started preparing for her arrival at the officer at 7:30am. One of the interns begins to respond to Anna's emails, listens to her voicemails, writes out messages for her, sets out the daily newspapers, and get Anna's coffee and breakfast, according to Back Row. One of her former assistants, who chose to remain anonymous, compared some of their actual work moments to the movie The Devil Wears Prada. 'Whenever she wasn't in the office, was when you were able to get those things done. Then she'd come into the office. It was very much like in The Devil Wears Prada when they're all like, "She's coming!" the ex-assistant said. 'I was always scrambling to get ready. You're literally putting things away, making sure everything looks great.' The book also claimed that just like in the movie, one former assistant was advised to not go to the restroom until another was present. Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine. She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today - a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally. In June, Wintour told staffers that she will be stepping down from her role as Vogue's editor-in-chief. She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report directly to her. As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure.
