Bialik Breakdown: Danielle Fishel didn't get the role of Topanga in Boy Meets World 🙀🧠💥 #shorts

Did you know Danielle Fishel didn't originally get the role of "Topanga" in Boy Meets World?!?!! 🙀 Danielle is in the MBB studio this week to share the mindblowing story!

She also REVEALS the real reason she nearly quit BOY MEETS WORLD, opens up about the body image issues she faced on the show, and the pressures of objectification while she was underage.

Danielle shares what it was like to have global pop star Lance Bass from NSYNC as her first serious boyfriend, how chasing validation led her to perfectionism, and how her background in psychology led her to realize the importance of being established in who you are before you begin a healthy adult relationship.

PLUS why BOY MEETS WORLD holds such a nostalgic feeling for all of us, how fame affected her friendships in school, her divorce, and getting into therapy after her first marriage ended.

Well she should take it as a compliment that everyone loves Topanga.

[thezanarose]

She made the show have a certain dynamic that it wouldn’t have had without her. She was beautiful but very much never a girl anyone could envy because Topanga was such a good person on the show. The show warmed hearts and she brought a certain energy to the show.

[Swaggybro]

I am so glad that you got the role of Topanga because you showed me and others what love is truly about

[worldtraveler]

Stories like this are such a slice of life you never end up quite where you thought you’d be. Life is so many twists and turns

[BuddyDanger]

She is still so gorgeous!!! She is perfect in every way!!!!

[jasonsgandurra]

Not only is she absolutely gorgeous but one great actress too. She did really well in Boy Meets World. I'm glad she got the roll

[maddiek]

As a gay boy watching this show in a far off land and using it to learn English, I thought Topanga was the most important character. And I still do!

[MeetTheCrears]

TGIF was the best growing up. Boy Meets World, Family Matters, and Step By Step and so forth.

[DerekBoldiene]

She was a perfect choice for Topanga. At one point I read. Marla Sokoloff was going to play Topanga. Marla was the girl who played Gia in Full House. Marla was in a episode of Boy Meets World. He also said the original choice of Topanga was not pretty enough. I think Danielle Fishel was the Perfect Choice. She was also in two episodes of Full House as Jennifer P.

[darktear]

I had the biggest crush on her and Jennifer Love Hewitt back in the 90s. I still think they are both incredibly beautiful

The best roles for fresh faces are given to actors who naturally embody the character because its similar to them in real life. Its only when actors have alot of experience that they begin to explore new personas.

[houseofdelics]

She Still looking Hot even after all these years.

[americandefender]

She tells the whole story on the Pod Meets World. She, Shawn and Eric made a podcast as Adults all about their time on Boy Meets world. They have also had other guest stars from the show on there. Like Mr. Feeny and his real wife.

Boy Meets World was legendary. Thanks Danielle!

[brey]

Had she not gotten the role, that would have sucked. Everyone who was cast on that show was perfect for their characters!

[rael]

She is such a cool lady. She could only play that role.

[carolinaflor]
