Andrea "Andie" McPhee is a fictional character from the WB television drama Dawson's Creek, portrayed by Meredith Monroe.
Andie first appears in the Season 2 opener "The Kiss", and quickly becomes a love interest for Pacey Witter. The character returns for two guest appearances in order to provide closure for her character (in Season 4, when Andie returned to graduate), and to support the ongoing storylines at the time (in Season 6, to say goodbye to Jen Lindley and to show where Andie was in 2008). Her character exited the show early in Season 4 in the episode "You Had Me At Good Bye" - the character had eventually run its course, producers commenting that the only story arc left for Andie would have been a relationship with Dawson Leery.
Andie crashes into the second season, literally, after she runs into the car that Pacey was driving. Knowing full well that it was his fault and that his father would "kill" him for damaging his police car, Pacey kept up with the pretense he was the police officer and it was his car. This kind of sparring would eventually define Andie and Pacey's relationship throughout Season 2. The two attended the school dance in the episode "The Dance", the episode closing with the two dancing on the docks, putting into motion the start of their relationship. However, throughout the course of the season the audience sees Andie experience mental health issues in trying to overcome the death of her brother, Tim, the reason the McPhee family moved to Capeside from Providence. It was Pacey who did not give up on Andie, coaxing her out of a locked room, eventually the two of them making the decision for Andie to be rehabilitated during summer break, and to return to Capeside in the fall, "happy, healthy, and more in love than ever". Andie left that season with her father, en route to Providence in the episode "Ch-Ch-Changes".
When Andie comes back from her summer away, Pacey is overjoyed until he finds out she has slept with another patient over the summer break. They break up for good. Andie then steals a copy of the PSATs because she is desperate to ace the test to prove that she is recovered from her medical problems. Andie gets a little too involved with her role as head of the school disciplinary committee. Jack and Andie find some common ground and Jack ends up moving back home in 'A Weekend In The Country'. She eventually confesses to stealing the PSATs to the Principal and loses her scholarship. She then starts to have feelings for Pacey again and confesses them to Joey, who has been in a secret relationship with Pacey unbeknownst to Andie. Andie then must deal with these new romantic feelings between Pacey and Joey when they come to light, but still makes one more try for Pacey by going to prom with him. She then realizes Pacey only went with her to see Joey and she releases him to go after her. When Joey chooses Pacey over Dawson, Andie is there to comfort Dawson along with Jack and Jen.
