“You all were young and having fun and I was much more serious,” Daniels recalled in the virtual video chat. “So I would hang out in my dressing room away from you all as you fooled around before the camera. And then they said, ‘Mr. Daniels, we’re ready for you,’ and then I’d go out.”
He added, “You guys were having a ball. And I’d taken it very seriously. Frankly, I wish I were one of you.”
About a decade ago, the three actors made a few appearances as their Boy Meets World characters on the spinoff Girl Meets World, which marked Daniels’ last time acting onscreen. Fishel reprised her main role of Topanga alongside fellow original series alum Ben Savage, who played her high school sweetheart-turned-husband Cory Matthews, Eric’s brother.
While the series ended its three-season run in 2017, the actress says her character will always remain “on the other side” of her heart.
“She is I and I am she,” Fishel told E! News in April 2023. “It’s something that no matter what else happens in my career, it will always be a defining aspect of who I am. And then that character was such a cool person, how could you possible get any luckier?”
