‘Boy Meets World’: Danielle Fishel and More BTS

Pranks, flubs, and laughs; Topanga ruled behind the scenes

When 90s kids hear “Boy Meets World,” their minds instantly jump to Cory’s floppy hair, Eric’s randomness, and, most importantly, Danielle Fishel as Topanga. She wasn’t just Cory’s love interest; she was the heart of the show, shaping an entire generation’s idea of sitcom romance perfection.

Offscreen, the cast wasn’t living inside a squeaky-clean TGIF universe. There were bizarre pranks, chaotic accidents, teary farewells, and enough bloopers to fuel a full decade of legendary DVD extras.
