Bessie Potter is a character on the television show Dawson's Creek. She is the oldest daughter of Mike and Lillian Potter, and the older sister of Joey Potter.
At age 20, Bessie gave birth to a son with the help of her critical neighbor, Evelyn Ryan. The boy's father is Bessie's African-American boyfriend, Bodie, who lived with them. The boy, named Alexander, is Joey's only nephew.
