Her character, Joey Potter, is something of
a tomboy. As Holmes explains, "Joey is a
15-year-old girl that uses a tough attitude as
a guard because she's been through so
much. She's been hurt so many times that
she doesn't want to be vulnerable and put
herself out there for everyone. She has to be
tough. She lost her mom [to cancer] and her
dad's in prison. She doesn't have the best
reputation in town because she lives with her
sister, Bessie, her black boyfriend, Bodie
and their baby. Her relationship with Dawson
has been the only stable thing in her life,
and now it's beginning to change."
