The recent release of Dawson’s Creek on Netflix Canada is conveniently timed, since 2020 marks two decades since the show’s groundbreaking embrace between gay characters Jack McPhee (Kerr Smith) and Ethan Brody (Adam Kaufman). The show’s season 3 finale, “True Love,” which aired in May 2000, saw Jack traveling to Ethan’s college in Boton to profess his love to him. Struggling to find the right words, Jack declares “I want to display you that I can, and that I’m not afraid to… oh hell… this,” before kissing Ethan.

This kiss is significant because it is often referred to as the first “passionate” embrace between men on primetime TV, and is celebrated as a major step forward for lgbtq+ representation. Jack’s importance, however, extends beyond simply his kiss existence a “first.” His character and storylines served as a meaningful exploration of issues and struggles faced by gay men – and queer communities more broadly – many of which are still relevant now.

Jack McPhee - Played by Kerr Smith

Jack and his sister Andie McPhee moved to Capeside to abscond the rumors that were spreading around them because of their unstable mother. Andie and Jack had also lost their older brother Tim some age ago in a tragic car accident which also made Andie a bit unstable as when Jack was still strong and trying to keep the family up as adv as he could.
In the start when Andie and Jack came in the show there was actually some sort of mix-up with them because in the beginning Andie and Jack were twins, but for some odd reason suddenly Jack was 17-years-old and Andie was 16-years-old! I'd appreciate if somebody knew what was going on in the heads of the writers because this is just not some small mix-up.
Well anyways as Jack became a Capeside resident he first laid his eyes on the pretty Josephine "Joey" Potter, their relationship grew and it lead to a touch and it obviously destroyed the happy relationship of Dawson and Joey. Jack was close to Joey for a while until, Pacey and he did a small crime and the their teacher made Jack read a poem they had to document for their class aloud in the class. Jack fell apart mentally at that po
