In one shot, Jen Lindley became Dawson’s Creek Other Woman, an age-old trope in which a voluptuous outsider is pitted against the Good Girl Next Door, embodied by Joey Potter.
In the pre-woke television era, Jen Lindley spent the early seasons of Dawson’s Creek as Joey’s foil whose main purpose was to be an obstacle between the show’s pre-set soulmates.
The sophomore season of Dawson’s Creek paired Jen with Abby Morgan (Monica Keena), the show’s Mean Girl.
Jen Lindley broke her Other Woman mold to become the glue that held the group together.
