During his arc on Dawson’s, Will had a brief romance with Andi McPhee (Meredith Monroe) and the only thing revealed about his backstory was that he had a rough home life.

Young Americans, which ran for eight episodes from July 12 to August 30, took place at Rawley Academy, a prestigious boarding school. Will, a working-class New Englander, gained admission to the school after landing a scholarship and, in order to get away from his abusive father, enrolls in the summer session.

Along the way, he finds a group of friends: his roommate Scout (Mark Famiglietti); a girl who disguises herself as a boy to get her mother’s attention, Jake (Katherine Moennig); the dean’s son who is confused by his attraction to Jake, Hamilton (Ian Somerhalder) and Will’s childhood friend, Bella (Kate Bosworth).
