Danielle Fishel drops bombshell about her ‘Girl Meets World’ experience

Danielle Fishel recently revealed why she felt frustrated working on Girl Meets World.

For those unaware, the 45-year-old American actress played the role of Topanga Lawrence in Boy Meets World, which ran for seven seasons from September 1993 to May 2000. She reprised her role in its sequel series Girl Meets World, which started airing in 2014 and ended in 2017 after three seasons.

Fished illuminated a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast with her presence, where she voiced her honest take on the follow-up series Girl Meets World.

She opened up to her erstwhile co-stars and podcast cohosts Rider Strong and Will Friedle, saying, “I remember being really frustrated after the first season started.”

“Before the show came out, Michael [and I] had a whole conversation about the idea that this was not going to be a reboot. It was going to be a whole new show,” the Boiling Pot star stated, referring to the show’s creator Michael Jacobs.

Fishel went on to share that Jacobs asked her to do “a whole blog about how this show was going to be its own thing,” which she did.

She recalled, “[I wrote] that there were going to be people who were coming from Boy Meets World who were going to be looking for things about this show to make them feel like it’s Boy Meets World.”

“And you might get a few of those Easter eggs, but it is not Boy Meets World and you have to give it that grace,” The Dish aum quipped.

Fishel admitted that she was surprised when Jacobs started adding Boy Meets World ideas into Girl Meets World.

“We got in there, and every day from morning until night was Michael and the writers trying to shoehorn Boy Meets World things into it,” she concluded.
