However, Katie recently confessed she hadn't kept up with the Dawson's Creek WhatsApp group. 

"All of us text every now and then, but I wasn't aware of the WhatsApp," she told The Times. "But you know what? I'm really bad at WhatsApp. I never check it because it's a little too much."

She added: "Everyone's grown up and is busy, but the bond will forever be there." 

Katie previously spoke to Glamour about how the show helped her navigate her teenage years.

"I felt like, as a teenager, I had so many different feelings, trying to go from being a girl to a woman," she explained to the outlet. "And I felt like [showrunner Kevin Williamson] had this way of putting words to those feelings.

"For me, playing that role, I was like, 'Oh, that's what that means. Oh, I get that.' I loved doing it. It was a really fun, profound experience."

Katie has been enjoying a successful run on Broadway in recent months with the revival of Our Town.
