Katie Holmes Says She ‘Wasn’t Aware’ There Is a Dawson’s Creek WhatsApp Group Chat: ‘I Never Check It’

Holmes starred in ‘Dawson’s Creek as Joey Potter from 1998 to 2003

Katie Holmes has some catching up to do with her former Dawson’s Creek costars.

In a new interview with U.K. outlet The Times, Holmes, 45, said that although she likes to keep in touch with many of her former castmates, Whatsapp proves a bit “too much” for her.

In response to a comment about there being a long-running Dawson’s Creek WhatsApp group chat (according to costar Joshua Jackson), Holmes joked with fake outrage: “Really?”

“All of us text every now and then, but I wasn’t aware of the WhatsApp,” she said. “But you know what? I’m really bad at WhatsApp. I never check it because it’s a little too much.”

Holmes — who played main character Dawson Leery’s best friend Joey Potter in the 1990s teen series — said that she keeps in touch with Jackson, lead James Van Der Beek and costar Michelle Williams “every now and then.”

“Everyone’s grown up and is busy, but the bond will forever be there,” she told the outlet.

Elsewhere in her interview with The Times, the actress revealed that her time on the series helped inspire her fashion sensibilities.

“I feel my education in clothes and their meaning came out of working in television and movies, working with great costume designers and having it explained to me what it means if a character has a cable-knit sweater over a plain sweater, and how that reveals a part of them,” she said.

“I fell in love with thinking like that, and letting the clothes really dictate a certain part of someone’s essence,” she added.

Dawson’s Creek aired on the WB (now the CW) from 1998 to 2003. Holmes has been candid about how the drama series shaped her career in the past. Just last year, she spoke with Glamour about how it helped her put her teenage feelings into words.
