The TV season is winding down, and the buzz surrounding season finales is circling around the kids of "Dawson's Creek".
All the rumours point to a Pacey/Joey break-up before the show goes on hiatus, but that won't be the biggest event on The WB program.
Before the show wraps up at the end of this month, there will be an eventful prom, another same-sex kiss, a graduation, and an emotional goodbye to the Creek, TV Guide reports.
After tonight's (Wednesday's) prom episode, the show will shift gears to focus on the characters' plans for their future away from the Creek.
The graduation episode will include the return of Meredith Monroe who plays Andie, although the show's producer, Paul Stupin, promises the graduation won't be a typical caps-and-gowns occasion.
"Considering that we've been building toward this event for four years, don't expect your typical on-screen graduation," Stupin told TV Guide Online. "Expect something uniquely 'Dawson's Creek' that'll be a whole lot of fun."
There are also rumours that at least one major character on "Dawson's" won't be returning next year. Internet buzz has picked Michelle Williams (Jen) as the cast member most likely to leave.
"It's also a point where some of our characters have to say goodbye," Stupin said of the season finale.
When "Dawson's" returns next season, the show will find the main characters at university far away from the "Creek".
Executives on the teen soap aren't sure yet if the change in the characters' locale will mean that the "Dawson's" set will leave its Wilmington, N.C., home and move to an L.A. location.
"But visually, wherever 'Dawson's Creek' is, literally or figuratively," said Stupin, "it's always going to be a place where the sunlight dapples off the water and the moonlight is clear and beautiful."
