Michelle Williams wants to star in a 'Dawson's Creek' reunion.

The 31-year-old actress played Jen Lindley in the teen drama - which was broadcast from 1998 to 2003 – and she would "very happily" reprise her role again, although she admits it would have to be as a ghost or in a series of flashbacks after her alter-ego died in the series.

Speaking at Comic-Con, she said: "I would very happily do a reunion show, I don't know what it would be. My character died in the end, so there are certain limitations for me. It's either I come back as a ghost or I'm shot through a lot of gauzy, hazy light as my nineteen-year-old self."

Michelle believes a 'Dawson's Creek' reunion would be a great way to "honour" the show – which followed four friends, Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), Joey Potter (Katie Holmes), Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) and Jen in the fictional seaside town of Capeside, Massachusetts – for both its stars and fans.

She added: "I've always said that I would really love to and I think independently, we've all been saying that. So at some point I hope that it does happen [as] ... a way to honour the past and what a big deal it was for the four or five of us and what a big deal it was for the people who watched it."
