Tell you a lovely girl I caught up with late last week (After the Stella’s that were poured on the weekend, it’s a wonder anyone here remembers last week)… Meredith Monroe, you might remember her as ‘Andie’ from “Dawson’s Creek”. What a doll. Anyone else think that show went downhill after Monroe left? (Which by the way, was a mutual thing, she wasn’t ‘pushed’), her and Pacey seemed to have something good going on there, don’t you think? She did actually return for the final episode of “Dawsons” but her scenes were cut. You can check out her return on the DVD though. Anyway, keep an eye on the tube over the next twelve months, here’s betting you catch the charming lass on there. Anyway, time for the bits…and did I mention, the Spidey trailer is live?
