A star-studded cast and complicated love stories are a recipe for success for teenagers. The first episode was broadcast at the end of January 1998 and for the next 5 years viewers followed the life adventures of Joey Potter (played by ) with bated breath.
Dream Lake was a hit. The ending of the main plot divided viewers and creators
There is no denying that it was the love triangle in “Lake of Dreams” that aroused the greatest interest of viewers. The main character was constantly torn by emotions. On the one hand, she had deep feelings for Dawson (James Van Der Beek), who was her boyfriend in the past. On the other hand, Pacey (Joshua Jackson) was constantly courting her. Although she pondered the choice for a long time, she ultimately decided not to step into the same river twice and decided to continue her relationship with Pacey. The choice of the heroine divided not only the fans of the production, but also the creators.
The writers felt that the relationship between Joey and Dawson was toxic. They did not want to promote unhealthy patterns, especially since a large part of the audience were teenagers. Therefore, a decision was made to pair the heroine with Pacey. Although their relationship was correct and they had a passionate feeling, many believed that the first of the candidates was much more suitable for her. Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were of a similar opinion. They even tried to convince the creators of their idea several times, but ultimately they failed.
“The Lake of Dreams” will get a sequel? Katie Holmes dispels doubts
Some time ago, Katie Holmes gave an interview for the portal, in which she referred to the fans’ constant questions about the chances of a spin-off of the cult production. she did not hide that ideas for a sequel had appeared many times, but ultimately they never came to fruition. The reason seems to be simple.
The creators are afraid that the reboot, created in completely different times than the original, might not meet the expectations of viewers and spoil their current imagination. This show is a time capsule. Putting that in today’s world might tarnish it a bit. This was right before everyone had phones and social media and stuff, so there was an innocence between the characters that was one of the things I think people enjoyed about the show. I’m not sure that would work in today’s world,” Holmes concluded.
