Boy Meets World’s Danielle Fishel Didn’t Mince Words About Why She Disliked Topanga’s Weight-Loss Storyline: ‘Not Happy At All’

Topanga upset on Boy Meets World.

Throughout its seven seasons, Boy Meets World has some very memorable storylines and episodes. Of course, while the TGIF sitcom remains beloved today, not every aspect of it necessarily holds up story-wise. Danielle Fishel -- whose character, Topanga Lawrence, goes through a lot on the show -- recalled how she particularly disliked Topanga’s weight-loss storyline. (And the actress really didn't mince words.)

Fishel has been open about her past body image issues and how a lot of those manifested while she was filming Boy Meets World. She previously recalled feeling like her body was a problem and, in addition to that, the writers conceived a storyline centering on Topanga’s weight, which was developed during the show's seventh and final season. In “She’s Having My Baby Back Ribs,” Topanga feels more self-conscious about her body as her husband, Cory, believes she’s pregnant.
