James Van Der Beek Cast in “Football Wives”
March 10, 2007 by Kath Skerry
I’m not sure how this one escaped my attention, but my boy Ducky is reporting that James Van Der Beek has been cast in Football Wives, the US remake of the UK hit Footballers Wive$. The idea of seeing The Beek back in weekly television just makes me thrilled. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think The Beek is the next Brando, but he’s a Creeker and I always support my Creekers.
I have a theory on why James got this show. See I think the Gods were taking a much needed coffee break and while they were adding the Splenda, Xenu snuck in and snatched up Katie Holmes. Ever since Xenu delivered Katie to Tom, the Gods have been feeling all kinds of guilty and they have been giving the kids of The Creek some pretty good breaks. Nothing major – I mean they don’t want to be obvious out it. It all started with Michelle Williams and that Academy Award nomination. Knowing that Josh Jackson will make it big on his own sometime in the near future, the Gods blessed him with a really hot girlfriend and some interesting stage roles that let him let go of “Pacey”. The Beek has this new show coming out. Hell even Jack and Andie have dabbled in their own shows.
Xenu, you might have Joey Potter but that’s all you’re going to get. Back off or we’re going to send Deputy Doug after you.

I actually never saw “Dawson’s Creek” when it originally aired but my best friend and I, during high school summer breaks, would watch the repeats on TBS… that being said, I’m really interested on how far most of the actors have come from the Creek. Yay for James! I’ve seen some of the original Football Wive$ so I’m just wondering how his character is going to be (like).
Really strange comment and sorry for those who haven’t seen the finale, Doug and Jack… priceless! BTW, if you watched the extended version, Andie returned. 😉
Haha, Xenu!
Is it weird that almost everyday I still watch Dawson’s Creek on TBS and I still get way into it? I think I have seen every ep atleast 20 (or way more) times and I can recite every word in every show. I am 28 people!! But man oh man I love my Creek. Glad to see The Beek in a new show although he will always be Dawson to me.
Also, Deputy Doug is going to be on a new show on Lifetime about a woman who is a cop by day and at night she sleeps with a vampire. Anyway, he is her partner at work.
I agree with Becky. I still get wicked into it, its almost as unhealthy as my obsession with The Office, which is a scary thing.
Good for James, I am so happy for him, and can’t wait to see his return to television!
