“The Beek” Goes On…UGLY BETTY

James Van Der Beek, who much to his dismay will always be fondly remembered as the one and only Dawson Leery, will be making a rare TV appearance this season on UGLY BETTY.  According to E!, James will play the owner of Atlantic Attire, a fashion house who has dealings with the Mode Magazine.  But when Van Der Beek’s character finds out that Mode’s Editor, Alexis Meade (played by Rebecca Romijn) is a transsexual, the business dealings may turn sour.

My love for Dawson’s Creek (at least the early years) knows no end, and so to hear that a Creek alum will be returning to TV,  even if for a brief stint, makes me happy.  Not as happy as if Josh Jackson got his own lead role on a lead drama series (um, yeah Shonda Rhimes, I’m STILL talking to you), but this will do.

No word yet as to when The Beek’s appearance will be, but when I know…you’ll know.
