There was a backstory where we learned that Gretchen dropped out of college after her freshman year because she got pregnant and had a miscarriage, so there were shades of Madison there, although Dawson wasn't the father and she lost the baby.
Oh my gosh, thanks for the reminder, I remember this now. Yikes.

Dawson’s Creek also did the Mary Kay Letourneau-like story with Tamara and Pacey as well so the show was definitely obsessed with controversial relationships and pregnancies.
