Katie Holmes Visits Grand Central Station

Striding across the lobby of Grand Central Station, Katie Holmes could be mistaken for a commuter - except for the knot of a dozen autograph seekers who mysteriously appear when she does.

The co-star of the WB's "Dawson's Creek" was in the train station recently to film scenes for an upcoming episode.

Holmes' character, Joey Potter, travels to New York to visit colleges with Jen, played by Michelle Williams. It marks a change for the series as the aging actors - Holmes is 22 - leave high school.

The series has returned to form in its fourth season after a critical and commercial slump. Holmes, whose character lost her virginity for the February ratings "sweeps," said it's a better place to work.

"We all found a groove after four years so it's been a really fun year," she said.

Holmes walked down to a Mexican restaurant on Grand Central's newly refurbished lower level, and said she was impressed by her first visit to the landmark.

"It's very exciting,'' she said. "It's very romantic in here."
