Danielle Fishel was "very frustrated" working on Girl Meets World because it was constantly "in the shadow" of Boy Meets World.
The 45-year-old actress played Topanga Matthews in the original series, which ran from September 1993 until May 2000, and agreed to reprise the role in 2010 for the sequel series, but was left feeling unhappy that it picked up where the first programme left off as she had been led to believe from creator Michael Jacobs that Girl Meets World would be a "whole new show".
