Danielle Fishel, known for her role as Topanga in the hit series Boy Meets World, is gearing up to celebrate a special milestone. As the 25th anniversary of her character's fictional wedding to Cory, played by Ben Savage, approaches, Fishel shared her plans to mark the occasion.
During a recent panel discussion, Fishel humorously mentioned that she would treat herself to some silver, in line with the traditional gift for a 25th anniversary. Reflecting on the young age of her characters when they tied the knot on the show, Fishel acknowledged that getting married right out of high school is not typically ideal.
Despite the success of Cory and Topanga's relationship on screen, Fishel and Savage never pursued a romantic relationship off-screen. They did, however, share a close bond and even went on a dinner date to explore any potential feelings, which they ultimately dismissed.
While Fishel and her other Boy Meets World co-stars, Rider Strong and Will Friedle, have maintained their friendship over the years, Savage reportedly distanced himself from the group after the birth of Fishel's son in 2019. This unexpected move left his former colleagues puzzled, as they had been close during that period.
Despite the apparent estrangement, Fishel expressed her enduring affection for Savage and her hope for reconciliation in the future. The two actors recently reunited for a Panera Bread ad in 2021, reminiscing about their shared experiences on set.
As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming anniversary celebration, Fishel's candid reflections on her on-screen and off-screen relationships offer a glimpse into the enduring impact of Boy Meets World on both the cast and viewers alike.
