American actress Busy Philipps was present at the ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Class Reunion charity event in September, along with co-star Joshua Jackson and other cast members. While acting out a scene from the pilot episode of the show, she and Jackson kissed on stage as part of the act. Following the performance, Philipps spoke candidly in an interview about her former onscreen boyfriend and whether their chemistry ever extended beyond the script.
Busy Philipps on if she ever ‘made out’ with Dawson’s Creek co-star Joshua Jackson in real life
Busy Philipps and Joshua Jackson worked together on Dawson’s Creek during Seasons 5 and 6. Philipps played Audrey Liddell, who briefly became the girlfriend of Jackson’s Pacey Witter on the show. Recently, during the Dawson’s Creek Reunion charity event on September 22, Philipps and Jackson, along with other members of the cast, performed the 1998 pilot episode of Dawson’s Creek.
However, Phillips did not appear as Audrey, but instead played the role of Tamara Jacobs, the 36-year-old teacher whose storyline involves a controversial relationship with her 15-year-old student, Pacey Witter. During their scene together, Jackson and Phillips recreate a kissing scene between Tamara and Pacey, surprising the crowd in attendance.
After the performance, in an interview with PEOPLE, Phillips opened up about the kiss. Speaking about planning it with Jackson, she shared, “We had run through the whole thing the day before. And so we were just doing sound cues and lighting cues onstage the day of. That’s all we had time to do.” Further, she revealed, “That was when Josh and I sat down, and I looked at him and I was like, ‘I mean, we could really kiss.’ “
She then mentioned how Jackson approved of the idea, saying, “I’m in. I think we got to give the people what they want.” Then playfully teasing their make-out scenes in the past on Dawson’s Creek, she joked, “Josh is hilarious and cracks me up. And yeah, we spent a lot of time making out when we were on that show — only for the show. We never made out in real life.”
