Dawson Gives Us Deja Vu On "One Tree Hill"

Last night's episode of One Tree Hill featured a guest appearance from former Willmington, NC resident, James Van Der Beek as a coke-snorting film director named Dixon. It's like One Tree Hill suddenly became an episode of Extras...

You know how Eva Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold" was on Dawson's Creek for like a second and then it was on six other shows? Or the time last year when Ugly Betty used KT Turnstall's Suddenly I See in the season finale and suddenly we were seeing it EVERYWHERE? That's how we feel about Erin McCarley -- it seems like we can't get through an episode of anything without hearing her voice in the background. Last night, she performed on David Letterman, so we're pretty sure we'll be seeing more of her.

Here's her song featured on One Tree Hill...

...and a link to her interview with the LAist about the release of her debut album.

OMG Dawson, Is That You?

That’s our reaction every time we see a photo of James Van Der Beek. Then we wonder what he’s up to these days. Do you?

Well wonder no more. James is coming back to television. And we’re not talking about his guest roles on Ugly Betty and How I Met Your Mother, or his upcoming spot on One Tree Hill.

Dawson’s got himself a full time gig . . .

James Van Der Beek will be starring in Fox’s pilot Eva Adams. The Hollywood Reporte r says:

The hourlong project, from writer/executive producer Kevin Falls and Sony TV, is set at a sports agency and centers on Adam, an egotistic sexist agent who, under a witch's spell, turns into a beautiful woman so he can endure the harassment he's been dishing out.

Van Der Beek will play Connor, a former frat boy who is a good friend of Adam's and an agent at the firm. Denman will play another agent, Paul, a single dad reeling from a devastating divorce.

If you just can’t wait for Eva Adams, you can get your Van Der Beek fix when he appears on One Tree Hill this season. Or rent Varsity Blues, and watch Dawson do Texas while you surreptitiously stare at Paul Walker, wondering how you could get him to play your field. No? Just us?

Bizarre Comeback of the Week: James Van Der Beek On "One Tree Hill"

Okay, so when we first heard James Van Der Beek was dropping by One Tree Hill this season, our reaction was like: "What? Who? Don't be ridiculous." We really thought we'd seen the last of James Van Der Beek somewhere around 2003, and we always figured if we did it wouldn't be on the EXACT SAME SET as Dawson's Creek -- did he not get enough of that town during his tenure in North Carolina? Does he not feel totally creeped out watching a new batch of kids watching the stars (or whatever they do) on his former roof? One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn might have told Entertainment Weekly: "The specter of Dawson's Creek is always around us...So I thought it would be cool to get James," but our theory is, he just thought it would be funny.

Whatever, it kind of is. Do what you've got to do, James. We're not going to judge, but let us ask you this: are you going to challenge Chad Michael Murray to a "pensive expression" contest? Because that guy's a tool -- you've totally got it in the bag.
