Abby’s death on Dawson’s Creek still kinda haunts me. I started watching the show probably too early as a kid (grade 5 so like 10 years old?) and always thought it was so shockingly tragic.

It was very tragic, I wasn't expecting it all bc even the most ~controversial DC moments were still pretty sanitized/palatable, whereas Abby's dead was as brutal and depressingly realistic as it could've been.

IA and I missed Abby, she was a fun villain. she begged to leave the show lol

I was VERY invested on Dawson's Creek back then, but I did not care for Abby at all, so I did not have any particular feelings about her death

I only remember hating Jen's haircut during that season

[headcaseheidi]

that haircut should’ve died instead of my girl

i loved abby’s instigating ass (iirc her episodes were usually written by mike white, so no wonder) and i liked all the stuff with her and jen

then they flattened my other fav sociopath, doug, into some gilmore girls advice guru for pacey. smh i hate how that show lost all its weird darkness after williamson left

omg Mike White writing Abby makes perfect sense. No wonder I loved her so much.

[bellwetherr]

it is STILL so weird that they put doug and jack together in the end

i vividly remember her death from watching when i was a child! i was shook!
