Beek?
There are conflicting reports out about James Van Der Beek on OTH. Former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek, will be making a guest-appearance on an upcoming episode of One Tree Hill that's clear.
But some outlets are saying he's replacing Austin in the role as Julian Beckett, and others are saying he's playing a director interesting in Lucas' book. Austin plays an independent producer interested in making Lucas' book into a movie, but also has a past connection to Peyton. It is doubtful that Van Der Beek is replacing Austin since Austin has been seen on set and in production still for Episode 6.08. and 6.09.
The news on OTH boards is that Jame will return to Wilmington this month to shoot an episode of One Tree Hill that will air in late November.
But could there be a connection between Beek's character and Austin -
is he the one who knows about Julian's past with Peyton? Could director Dawson Leary be looking for work? Would Dawson blab about Julian and Peyton much like he did about Joey and Pacey and Jen all those years on The Creek?
And why Van Der Beek? "Says OTH creator/executive producer Mark Schwahn, 'The specter of Dawson's Creek is always around us. We're about to [complete] 128 episodes, which is what Dawson's did. So I thought it would be cool to get James.' "
