Katie Holmes has marked a Dawson’s Creek milestone by sharing a series of photos from the set.
The teen drama ran for six seasons between 1998 to 2003, with Katie playing Joey Potter, who was known as the idealistic voice of reason within her group of friends.
Still in high school when she secured the role, Katie, now 44, became an instant star and was soon appearing on the covers of magazines such as Seventeen, TV Guide, and Rolling Stone.
The show also starred James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson.
Now, on the show’s 25th anniversary, Katie has shared several throwback photos of the cast.
‘Happy 25th. I loved growing up with everyone and experiencing some really beautiful times. Thank you to all of the fans of Dawson’s Creek,’ she wrote.

Initially posted by Mary-Margaret Humes, who played Dawson’s mother Gail, the photos included a group behind-the-scenes shot on set, one of her with Katie and another with the core cast.
Also marking the occasion, James, 45, shared an old character portrait and a heartfelt message about the show’s impact on him.
He started by writing: ‘25 years ago today… my life changed. Not gradually, not day-by-day… instantly.’
‘It was the culmination of 5 years of auditioning, hundreds of hours on stage, thousands of hours traveling, preparing, dreaming, hoping, hearing “no”, and making up reasons to keep going. But the shift was overnight.’
He went on to share how fame was not everything he had expected it to be, but that he did have ‘pinch myself’ moments.
