Abby Morgan is a recurring character on Dawson's Creek. She is portrayed by Monica Keena.
Character[]
Abby is well known for being very nasty to people. She is adequately popular in high school and flirts with a lot of the football players, whom she seems to be friendly with. In reality, she is probably a very lonely person, who has a nice, normal family in one of the richer families in Capeside. As it turns out, although their relationship isn't exactly healthy, Jen is probably the only real friend Abby ever makes in Capeside.
Story[]
When we first meet Abby in Detention, she already has a reputation for being horrid among the gang (minus Jen, who has never met her before). She comes off as a kinda bored, instigating teen who revels in toying with other people's lives.
This perception of her is only briefly altered with Jen in the periods where she spends time with Abby (which usually coincide with Jen feeling left out of the gang).
Quotes[]
- I don’t think I’ll ever be happy. Wherever I am, I’ll always wish I’m someplace else. Whatever I have, I’ll always want something different… I just don’t want to be a cliché.
- —Abby[src]
- Andie – Your favorite pastime is making my life a living hell.
- Abby – That's not what I do. I play such a crucial role in this little circle, and you guys are just too unimaginative to notice. I'm the girl everyone loves to hate. I'm the scapegoat. The one you can take out all your anger and aggression on and never lose a moments sleep over.
- Andie – You have it mixed up, Abby. You trash us. You're mean.
- Abby – Well, being sweet is boring. I don't have family lives like you guys. My mom isn't a lunatic. My dad isn't in prison. I'm not the prodical daughter from New York. My parents' divorce is boring. My house is boring. There's no intrigue, no drama. So you know what? I create drama. And I think it's a valid extraccurricular activity.

Trivia[]
- Kevin Williamson on why Abby Morgan was killed off:
- "She (Monica Keena) didn’t want to be there. She did not want to be in Wilmington, N.C. She was a young actress...and she wanted to be killed off. She was, like, begging to be killed off. Unlike the other actors on the show, I think that she wasn't as excited to be there. I loved her and I think she's awesome. I thought, "Okay, well if you want off the show, can I kill you? Let me write to your death! You'll be the first person that dies in 'Dawson’s Creek,' and it'll be awesome." And she was like, "Okay!" She was game. I ran into her a couple years later and she loved the experience, she just didn’t want to be on the show."[1]
