Rumours of a so-called 'Dawson's Creek Curse' have resurfaced as former stars Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson navigate turbulent times in their personal and professional lives.
From Small-Town Fame to Big-City Struggles
The beloved 90s teen drama launched its young cast into stardom, but two decades later, Holmes and Jackson appear to be facing their share of challenges. Holmes, who played Joey Potter, has reportedly been struggling to reignite her acting career following her high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise.
Joshua Jackson's Career Crossroads
Meanwhile, Jackson (who portrayed Pacey Witter) has seen his recent projects fail to capture the same magic as his breakout role. Industry insiders suggest he's struggling to shake off his teen heartthrob image.
A Pattern of Misfortune?
The concept of a 'curse' gained traction when fans noted:
- Michelle Williams' personal tragedies
- James Van Der Beek's career fluctuations
- The show's other stars failing to maintain their early success
However, some analysts argue this is simply the natural ebb and flow of Hollywood careers rather than anything supernatural.
Looking to the Future
Both actors have projects in development, with Holmes focusing on directing and Jackson exploring more mature roles. Whether this marks a turnaround or confirms the 'curse' theory remains to be seen.
