As Mr. Feeny once said on Boy Meets World, “You don’t have to be blood to be family.”And that’s exactly the type of bond the cast of the '90s coming-of-age series formed. “We’ve all known each other for so long at this point that they do really feel like family,” Ben Savage explained of starring on the sitcom as the titular boy, Cory Matthews, while appearing at a 2019 Fan Expo Boston panel with castmates Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence), Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), William Daniels (Mr. Feeny) and Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Lila Bolander). Throughout their seven-season run and in the years after, “We’ve seen each other throughout our ups and downs," added Ben, who also appeared in the Girl Meets World spinoff with Danielle, "and we spent so much time together that I do feel like these are siblings and friends.”
