“We all kept in touch by working at such a heavy pace,” she said. “I love everybody, I keep in touch.”
In 2016, Katie Holmes rebuked the idea of the cast reuniting to reboot “Dawson’s Creek” and gave an update on the dynamics of the former castmates. “We did grow up, but we see each other every now and then,” she said while appearing on SiriusXM’s “Just Jenny Show,” according to People. A couple years later, however, the cast did reunite, which impacted their friendships with one another.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the WB show’s premiere, Entertainment Weekly brought Holmes together with original cast members James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams, for a photoshoot and interview. Busy Phillips, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe, and Mary Beth Peil were also involved. This led to several of the “Dawson’s Creek” alums growing closer. “James, Josh, Katie… we’re all in a group text,” Monroe told Entertainment Tonight in 2018. “We reconnected and now we have a group text going again, so that’s been nice,” she added. (Williams and Phillips were noticeably absent from the group chat.)
Five years after that reunion, Holmes once again reflected fondly about working on the series, and how it was a bootcamp of sorts for preparing for the rigors of Hollywood. “It was such a wonderful time in my life. It really taught all of us to work at such a heavy pace,” she told Access in April. “I love everybody, I keep in touch. I’m very grateful,” the “Logan Lucky” actor added. Although it appears Holmes kept close with some (but not all) of the cast.
