18 Things True ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Fans Should Already Know

15. Dawson’s dad was killed off because the actor wasn’t happy

John Wesley Shipp who played Dawson’s dad stopped being happy with the direction that the show was going and ultimately negotiated to get written off the show (via a car accident after buying an ice cream cone). He explained: “At the end of the four seasons and the kids were going to be going to college, I saw the handwriting on the wall. We would be standing in the background with Lily and waving at Parents Day and I really had no interest in doing that. So when they wanted to renegotiate our contact, I set my price really high.”
