The season ends with Pacey at sea again, and Joey and Dawson kissing. It also ends with Berlanti’s resignation; he left to create his first show, Everwood, but. The first season of the HBO television series Boardwalk Empire premiered on September 19, 2010 and concluded on December 5, 2010, consisting of 12 episodes.

This year's festival featured a handful, including Queer as Folk, Journeyman and Gilmore Girls. But Saturday's Dawson's Creek panel marked a first for the festival, which staged its first- ever writers' room reunion. The teen angst drama made stars of James Van Der Beek (Dawson), Katie Holmes (Joey), Josh Jackson (Pacey) and Michelle Williams (Jen). The drama helped put the then- WB Network on the map and establish a tone for the eventual CW. Writers on the series who reunited Saturday at the ATX Television Festival in Austin included creator/showrunner Williamson, Anna Fricke (who started as a PA on Dawson's and whose credits include creating Being Human), Gina Fattore (Gilmore Girls), Jenny Bicks (Sex and the City, The Big C), Paul Stupin (who helped develop Dawson's and is now on Switched at Birth) and Rob Thomas (who got his first job on the show and went on to create Veronica Mars, i. Zombie). The panel was moderated by frequent Williamson collaborator/friend Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries).

It followed an amusing and emotional session in which the longtime friends and frequent collaborators were quizzed about their longstanding relationship and more during which Williamson, who at the time was emotionally reeling after a friend's passing, revealed he almost didn't do The CW vampire drama because it was too much like Twilight. Dawson's Creek was originally sold to Fox before they dumped it. Stupin, who had a deal with Sony Pictures Television at the time, said no one was selling feature writers to television at the time and saw Scream (then called Scary Movie) in the trades. It was Stupin who eventually came up with Pacey, with the idea that Dawson and Joey needed a Jim Belushi- like friend. Stupin took the finished script to Fox, and around the Christmas break learned that Dawson's wasn't going to go to pilot because the network was struggling with Party of Five.

The exec, he recalled, said Dawson's felt like . The original script took place the week before school started, and after landing at WB Network, had to show more of what high school would look like at the network's request.

Stupin and Williamson removed a lot of Jen's relationship with her grandmother from the pilot. He later learned about . Added Williamson: .

The Joey- Dawson kiss in the season one finale was done because Williamson wanted to defy all the standard teen shows at the time. Jen's grandfather — seen almost exclusively on a vent in a coma, was going to come back to life in season one, with Jen ultimately being pushed toward Dawson. Mike White (School of Rock, Enlightened) was a consulting producer early on and wanted everyone to pretend they were Scientologists for the new writer who was coming in, Bicks recalled of the writers' room jokes. Williamson gave Stupin a lot of credit for his work as a nonwriting producer/showrunner (Dawson's was Stupin's first show as well).

It was Stupin who helped assemble the show's impressive writing staff — including Tom Kapinos (Californication) and Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Arrow) who had his first TV writing job ever on Dawson's Creek. Plec, who also was a writer on Dawson's, recalled Stupin auditioning potential writers by assigning them to write the short teasers. The network and studio eventually hired a showrunner to work over self- professed . As for story points that they're most proud of, Fatore pointed to season three's Thanksgiving episode, which she called a real low point. On the flipside, the 2. Rashomon style hour in which Dawson finds out that Joey and Pacey are together — stands out.

Bicks pointed to Jack's (Kerr Smith) coming out storyline in season two, with Williamson and Plec noting that at the time, the show needed to expand the universe. He was terrified to discuss the story with the network. As for the poem that Jack reads that ultimately leads to his coming out, Williamson said that was partially inspired by events in Berlanti's life. It led to the first- ever gay kiss on TV. Fatore recalls the network note was to film the scene from a distance but having Berlanti insist that the landmark kiss . Williamson said he knew early on that Joey and Pacey would explore a romantic relationship. On the series finale, Stupin recalled the penultimate episode of the show originally planned as the .

On having Joey ultimately end up with Pacey, Williamson said that wasn't always how he envisioned the conclusion. Halfway through, Kevin calls me and says, 'I changed my mind.' . Maybe that's where it started but it evolved and it ended up as something else.

I wanted it to be a twist on the teen genre but also wanted it to be surprising, honest and real and say something about soul mates and what soul mates can be. That's why we did it that way. There was fulfillment and they were all happy. Williamson said he opted to kill Jen off as the last piece in the show's coming of age concept. Plec was the one who insisted Andie (Meredith Monroe) return for the finale — in a scene that ended up on the cutting room floor but is included on the DVD set. She felt it was incredibly important for Pacey and his first love Andy to have some sort of a resolution.

Other things that the network didn't love was Pacey's relationship with his teacher, Mrs. Watch Reach Me Online Hoyts here. Jacobs (Leann Hunley). He noted that the network didn't hate the story but at the same time, .
