I agree, and I thought that Bianca Lawson and James Van Der Beek had a lot of chemistry. Dawson and Gretchen were so fabricated, and they retconned a history where she was Dawson's first crush, and Gretchen seemed almost maternal with Dawson. Sasha Alexander was and is a beautiful woman, but she looked too old to be a 20 year old college student and a love interest for Dawson. Granted, almost all the actors on the show were older than the age of their characters, but Sasha looked like a woman instead of a college-aged girl, and her and James had no chemistry together in my opinion.
