During a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, Danielle Fishel expressed her belief that her character Topanga should not have married Cory (Ben Savage) in Boy Meets World. Fishel suggested that while a proposal could occur, the couple should delay marriage to allow for deeper exploration of their relationship. She noted that after their wedding, the writers faced challenges in raising stakes for the couple, which she found unsatisfactory. Fellow podcast hosts Rider Strong and Will Friedle acknowledged Fishel's perspective as a 'hot take,' with Friedle also wishing for the return of character Stuart Minkus for his comedic value. This discussion reflects on the series' narrative choices and their impact on character development. Boy Meets World originally aired from 1993 to 2000, with a follow-up series, Girl Meets World, premiering in 2014.
