William Daniels shared images of an impromptu Boy Meets World solid reunion on Saturday, June 1.
The actor, higher recognized by many as his BMW character Mr. Feeny, shared pictures of an obvious celebration through X. Within the images, Daniels smiled alongside his spouse, Bonnie Bartlett, and former costars Danielle Fishel, Rider Robust and Will Friedle.
“Just a bit reunion with my favourite college students!!” he captioned the images.
It’s removed from the primary time these actors have gotten collectively since ABC’s Boy Meets World wrapped in 2000 after seven seasons. Fishel, Robust and Friedle cohost a rewatch podcast of the sitcom known as “Pod Meets World,” a challenge they started in 2022.
Daniels, 97, appeared on an early episode of the pod, the place he revealed to the trio of hosts that he almost walked away from considered one of his most iconic roles. He stated that he needed to be reassured by Boy Meets World showrunner Michael Jacobs that the character of Mr. Feeny can be handled with respect.
“I stated ‘Effectively, that’s a humorous title and I don’t wish to make enjoyable of academics. I respect them and so they’re unpaid and all that,’” Daniels recalled on the July 2022 episode. “Then [Jacobs] advised me what my function was primarily based on, which was a mentor of his when he was in highschool… I used to be afraid [Feeny] can be the butt of the joke [but then] I spotted the plot can be written with respect.”
Boy Meets World lead Ben Savage was notably absent from the images shared by Daniels. That, too, is nothing new. Friedle, 47, shared in 2023 that Savage out of the blue stopped talking to him a number of years prior.
“He disappeared — I want I knew why, to today,” Friedle advised Selection. “We didn’t have a combat. There’s no falling out. There was no animosity. He simply awakened sooner or later, and determined ‘I don’t need this particular person in my life anymore.’”
Friedle stated he known as Savage, 43, repeatedly, refusing to be iced out by somebody he had recognized since he was 11 years previous. He shared, “I attempted and tried and tried for months, till lastly my spouse was like, ‘Why are you doing this to your self? He clearly doesn’t need you in his life.’”
Even so, the solid has been hesitant to talk ailing of Savage. When Fishel praised her castmates throughout a big panel of former Boy Meets World stars at a ‘90s conference in Tampa final yr, some noticed it as a dig at Savage, the notably absent solid member. Fishel, 43, set the document straight through her Instagram Story.
“Good clickbait however I wasn’t talking about anybody who wasn’t on that stage with me,” she wrote. “It was a love letter to them and never a passive aggressive assault on anybody else. Do higher pls.”
