‘Boy Meets World’ cast reunites: William Daniels poses in photos with Danielle Fishel, other stars
The “Boy Meets World” had a mini high school reunion featuring a quarter of the 90s sitcom’s stars.
William Daniels, who played Mr. Feeny, posed with fan favorite cast members from the coming-of-age sitcom, captioning a photo “just a little reunion with my favorite students!!”
Daniels posted a photo on X and Instagram posing in a solo picture with Danielle Fishel, who famously portrayed Topanga, who wrapped her arms around the famed actor. Then, he also shared another heartwarming photo with Fishel, his wife Bonnie Bartlett Daniels of “Little House on the Prairie” fame; Rider Strong, who starred as Shawn Hunter; and Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews.
“Fishel commented on the post, writing to Daniels that “we love every opportunity to be around you and Bonnie!” with a red heart emoji. The trio — Fishel, Strong and Friedle — host a popular “Boy Meets World” rewatch podcast “Pod Meets World.”
Will Friedle, Rider Strong allege grooming by ‘Boy Meets World’ guest star Brian Peck

And the photo of them with Daniels comes amid happier times after Strong and Friedle opened up about a past inappropriate relationship of grooming an actor who guest starred on the series. Earlier this year, on an episode of their podcast, the pair alleged that stand-in Brian Peck was inappropriate with them during his time on the show.
“We knew this deserved a more detailed discussion, especially even since we as hosts are still unpacking everything involved, and we know the discourse around this subject has culturally ramped up,” Fishel said at the time
Peck was arrested in August 2003 on a charge of lewd acts with a child, according to a press release from the Los Angeles Police Department. The arrest stemmed from a 2001 incident in which the actor allegedly molested a child he was coaching over a six-month period. Fishel noted during the episode that Peck was subsequently “convicted and spent 16 months in prison.”
In addition to grooming at the time, Strong said he ran into Peck at a party about seven years ago and described the interaction as “one of the most intense experiences” of his life.
“It felt like an out-of-body experience where I’m having a conversation with him, and I was finally able to hear the name-dropping,” Strong said. “The story that he was telling me was nonsense, but what he was letting me know was that he was with famous people who validate him and put him in a category of Hollywood royalty. He did that constantly when we were on the set of ‘Boy Meets World,’ and I never saw it because it was so effortless.”
