It\'s not about getting it right... It\'s about knowing when it\'s wrong and doing something about it”

Andie McPhee is a fictional character on WB teen drama Dawson\'s Creek. She is portrayed by Meredith Monroe.

Andie McPhee is introduced as a somewhat high strung, but sweet and intelligent girl, with great academic ambitions and a very sociable nature. She is an enthusiastic and passionate person, and also possesses an innocent nature, although this innocence could also be a stuborn determination to keep some childhood joy in the face of the immense responsibility her parents have left her and Jack with. Her drive can, at times, take on a \'tunnel vision\' intensity and she can be a bit ruthless to the people around her. This is more likely due to the immense pressure she and Jack are under from 1997-2000, after their brother Tim dies and the effect it has on the McPhee family.

After her brother dies and her father moves the family to Capeside, Andie, in spite of great odds, is determined to maintain her academic status and sunny demeanor, refusing to let her mother\'s condition weigh on her outlook on the world. She has trouble reconciling with Jack\'s attitude toward their situation, as he faces the seriousness of it head on

. Meeting Pacey is a light for Andie, and she soon becomes friends with Joey, Jen

too. Andie quickly finds herself having feelings for Pacey, though she feels they may be unrequited.

But Pacey starts to feel the same way and they begin a romance, in spite of Andie\'s wariness with letting Pacey become a part of her increasingly difficult home life

. Ever the ambitious student, Andie decides to run for student body president, inspiring Pacey to be her campaign manager and convincing Joey to be her running mate

. Abby Morgan\'s bullying and revealing Andie and Jack\'s family tragedy to the entire school has a great impact on Andie, as she\'s becoming more and more unravelled. At the behest of her brother, she begins taking medication again, despite not wanting to.

Feeling better following this episode, Andie and Pacey draw ever closer and Andie begins to consider sex. Even though she\'s nervous about experiencing her first time, she\'s also open to and excited about the experience

. Her insecurities following such a vulnerable moment get to her when she thinks everyone at the school knows and accuses Pacey of gossiping. This is mostly due to Pacey withdrawing from Andie, but she finds out it\'s because of how intense and strong his feelings for her are

Andie was a fan favorite on the series, appearing first in the Season 2 premiere The Kiss, and quickly became a love interest for Pacey Witter.

Her character exited the show early in Season 4 in the episode You Had Me at Goodbye – the character had eventually run its course, producers and Monroe commenting that the only story arc left for Andie would have been a relationship with Dawson Leery.

The character was brought back for two guest appearances in order to provide closure for her character and to support the ongoing storylines at the time:

In Season 6, to say goodbye to Jen and to show where Andie was in 2008.
