Danielle Fishel Says There Was a Pay Disparity Between Her and ‘Boy Meets World’ Co-Stars

Danielle Fishel is quitting any funny business with the remuneration uniqueness among herself and her Boy Meets World co-stars during the early extended lengths of the hit sitcom.

During another episode of Pod Meets World – – a Boy Meets World rewatch web recording worked with by Fishel and past co-stars Rider Strong and Will Friedle – – Fishel contemplated how fundamentally less she got remunerated when she was first knock up from a monotonous occupation to a series standard during the show’s resulting season.

“Expecting y’all knew the pay uniqueness, even after I transformed into a series standard, and it was reliably – – the explanation that was used was ‘Well, we didn’t understand you would be on the show. We weren’t anticipating you,'” Fishel inspected to her co-hosts and exceptional guest Lauren Lapkus.


While Fishel’s character, Topanga, has transformed into a mechanical assembly in the standard society awareness, her character was not piece of the show’s course of action from the start. Accordingly, Fishel claims the show included that character improvement as a way to deal with paying her less.

“It has neither rhyme nor reason,” Lapkus grieved.

“Through season 2, [they] knew… . that excuse should clear out,” Fishel continued. “Also, a while later season 3 moved around and it was at this point unaltered explanation.”

By this point, Topanga’s feeling with Cory (played by series lead Ben Savage) was by then being narratively formed and she’d transform into an establishment on the series.


Fishel surveyed that she finally pronounced war, figuring out, “I expected to threaten to not show up to a table read.”

For no obvious reason, Fishel’s father and her delegate were both coordinating to wrangle for Fishel’s advantage for more critical compensation. In any case, the energetic performer – – who could have been around 13 by then – – was terrified she’d lose her employment.

“My dad was not having it,” she said of the remuneration contrast, adding that her dad and her delegate were the ones who suggested she boycott a table read, which she was reluctant to do. “They were like, ‘Tune in, this is the very thing you should get, this is where we’re at, and the most ideal way to get it is if they know you’re vital for not returning aside from assuming you get treated sensibly.'”

Fishel said she ended up focusing on their suggestion, yet the discussion forged ahead starting there. That being said, Topanga remained a principal individual for the rest of the show, until it arrived at a resolution close to the completion of season 7 in May 2000.
