Evolution

Do we all remember Michael Pitt? Well, maybe we don't all remember the name Michael Pitt, but I'm sure we all remember Henry Parker, the younger albeit kind of creepy freshman that taught Jen Lindley how to love and trust again after her tumultuous upbringing of ecstasy and too-young-to-have-sex days in New York City before she arrived world-wise and jaded to live in a little town called Capeside, Mass with Grams and a host of others who taught a new-to-the-WB-network generation what a teen soap should be. Aaaahhhh, those were the days... And even though Henry was fairly awkward and uncomfortable to look at directly, he was kind of sweet, and no one really cared all that much about his storyline because Joey and Pacey were busy falling in love, so Henry and Jen's scenes were just meant to be tolerable to begin with, and when he did dump Jen off-screen via an e-mail to gay best pal Jack, you were kind of relieved he wouldn't be around anymore rather than getting too upset. In short, all was right with the world.
