Who’s the ultimate “older sibling” on the teen dramas? It just might be Bessie Potter, who was played by Nina Repeta in nearly 90 episodes of “Dawson’s Creek.”
I was honored to recently connect with Nina on Zoom to chat about everything from “Dawson’s Creek” to living in Wilmington, North Carolina, to her son’s blossoming acting career. We discussed:
How she knew Kevin Williamson long before he created “Dawson’s Creek”
The first time she met Katie Holmes
Where she falls on the Dawson vs. Pacey debate
Her husband Mike Repeta’s work as a camera operator on both “Dawson’s Creek” and “One Tree Hill”
Her son Banks Repeta appearing in TV shows and movies like, “The Outsider,” “Lovecraft Country,” and The Devil All the Time
…and much more! Watch the full video below!

Really interesting interview. You can tell Nina is good people. Well done, Shari!
Wow! This was a fabulous interview Shari and Nina! First of all Nina your closet looked like a fun place to be. I wish my closet looked that cool. Haha 😜
Nina, I loved all your work on Dawson’s Creek. I loved that scene with you putting lipstick on Katie Holmes. I loved your relationship as sisters... it always came across as so authentic. You guys played being annoyed and irritated with each other one minute and the next minute loving sisters so well - you guys had great chemistry together! I also loved when you gave birth... great acting in that episode. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Shari, please interview Nina’s husband Mike! You know I absolutely love and adore One Tree Hill! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m looking forward to seeing everything Banks does in Hollywood! 😁😁😁
Great job Shari! 😍
