Ask Karen

Hey there happy campers and welcome to another of my columns. I'm so excited, cuz this week I actually have some questions to answer from you guys about the new season.

I can tell you that exec producer Peter, has just returned from a trip and that he is by now, I am sure, feeling refreshed and ready for the new challenge of writing the new season.

I do have one teeny tiny gripe about Peter's being on his holibags. What you ask? He never even sent me a postcard! *sniff*

I believe that at least the first 6 episodes have been mapped out. I know for a fact that the first one has been written, ah the perks of the job. *chants* I know what happens, cuz I have um.... *thinks* am I allowed to divulge what I know. Not even for the greater good. Hmm, how to change the subject??

So anyone else new in town? Nah, that was lame. Hmm, what else... so you guys wanna know what I know? I'll give you a few juicy little tidbits.

Kitty Bear: Any chances for some more of Peter's famous crossovers? You know, like Spike dropping by en route to LA and pounding Pacey's ass? Or Rory Gilmore visiting Harvard one more time and bumping into Joey in Boston and telling her that picking the bad boy is a terrible TERRRRRIBLE idea and pounding her ass? Or Dr. Brown attempting to correct the damage done from Joey's self-inflicted lobotomy, and Colin going on another Hulk-like angry rage and accidentally pounding Pacey's ass? Or Clark Kent deciding that Pacey must be destroyed and pounding his ass (are you sensing a trend?)? Did I give you guys any ideas? ;) Kitty bear

My preference for a crossover would most definitely involve delving into movies and having Jonathon Moxon and Sean Bateman coming to town. That would be great! I can tell you that breaking new on the grapevine is that there could be some sort of cross over, and believe it or not, it will be with someone you mentioned. guess who?

Maria: Can you tell us when the new season will be airing and the names of some of the episodes? thanks Maria.

hey Maria! I can tell you that the season premiere has been moved back by one week. It is now the 17th of September :( And some ep titles, # 701- There's Something About Joey, # 702- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, # 703- Animal House and # 704- Three's A Crowd

Leery's Lover: Hi there! My name is Leery´s lover and I would like to know if there’s going to be some new characters in this season, and what their role will be in the main story.

Hi there, Leery's Lover! With it being a new season and the way the show ended last season with the departure of Jen, Jack and Grams, you can probably tell that there would be quite a gap so for the show to continue it is vital that we see new characters, otherwise it'd more than likely get a tad boring. This season sees the core gang totally revamped. The core four, will more than likely now be considered as Dawson, Joey, Pacey and everyone's favourite LA gal, Audrey Liddell. So far the only confirmed newbie in the pack is going to be Derek. I hear he has so far only been written in for two or three episodes. I'm sure all of you PJ and DJ fans out there aren't gonna like him, cuz he's Joey's love interest. but as you well know, most times things aren't what they seem to be.

DiditheDCfan: James Van Der Beek and Hal Ozsan were terrific onscreen together. Will we see Dawson and Todd working together again this season? DiditheDCfan.

Hey there, Didi. I hope you don't mind if I call you Didi. I thought these two were great together too. As far as I am aware there has been talk of the character of Todd coming back. I believe said appearance has been pencilled in for episode 2, but if he will become a major fixture for the season has yet to be revealed. I hear that this season will see many old characters, both loved and hated come back to the creek, even if they won't be seeing the creek Expect the return of a certain faculty member in '704 ;)

Frances: Any chance for an Andie appearance and possibly P/Andie reunion? Also, are Dawson & Joey EVER gonna "christen" his bed? ;)

Some people are so sneaky with sending in two questions, but I'm being kind. Ya know, when I first got this gig I was told that one of the most asked about pieces of furniture was Dawson's bed. I hadn't believed it. But I have already had a few questions like this. Gone are the days when people wanted to know if Dawson and Joey would 'consummate their ultimate desires' now we're all about wondering if they'll ever do the deed on his bed. *shakes head* what's the world coming too? I can tell you that I don't know about the bed getting action. But why should that be restricted to Dawson's bed for that question? As for Pacey and Andie, I can tell you that anything is possible on the show and from what I know, there is a good chance of a smidgen of something happening. I'll try and keep you posted on that.

Kat: I'll keep this short and simple, Karen. Dawson. Joey. Getting down with their bad selves. WHEN? ;)

See, what is with this obsession some people have with Dawson and Joey 'getting down with their bad selves'? All I can tell you right now is that I have not managed to pinpoint an exact date for any event of this kind. I have heard through the grapevine, that there is talk of something or other happening on the Dawson and Joey front in 706. Keep in mind I am still trying out my 'transforming into a fly and getting to the writers room' gig. When I am successful, I'll let ya know.

Nora: Hey Karen! Will the triangle ever be resolved? Nora

I can say that without a doubt the triangle will be resolved, yet at the same time I can tell you it won't. Hehe, not giving much away but I'll let ya all stew over what that means!

Well I think that this is us for one week. Be sure and drop me a line with more questions for my next column, till next time.

hugs
