Yahoo Lifestyle ‘Boy Meets World’s William Daniels, 97, Reunites With 3 ‘Favorite Students’ in Rare Photo
'Boy Meets World' cast members, Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and William Daniels
William Daniels, who remains a fan-favorite actor for his performance as Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World in the '90s, reunited with his "favorite students" in a special moment he shared with fans.
Daniels took to social media to post photos from a recent gathering that included Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga Lawrence, Rider Strong, who played Shawn Hunter, and Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews. Also in the photo is Bonnie Bartlett, Daniels' wife, who also acted in the series.
"Just a little reunion with my favorite students!!" Daniels wrote on Instagram. In the snaps, Daniels and Bartlett relaxed while sitting at a table, smiling as Fishel, Strong and Friedle gathered close for the photos.
"We love every opportunity to be around you and Bonnie! ❤️," wrote Fishel, while Danny McNulty, who played Harvey "Harley" Keiner, commented, "What a wonderful pic ❤️. Can’t wait to see you & Bonnie in the near future."
Trina McGee, who played Angela, added, "Beautiful," with Fishel writing back, "you and Marcello were missed ❤️," referring to Marcello Thedford, fellow actor and McGee's husband.
The sweet photo had many fans feeling nostalgic. Quite a few shared kind words for Daniels like, "We love you, Mr. Feeny!! Thank you for making my childhood a success with life lessons," and "This brings back amazing childhood memories ❤️ wonderful to see."
"We are all your students 🙏," wrote a third.
Earlier this year, Daniels, Bartlett, Strong and more cast members reunited at 90s Con in Connecticut, showing off their strong bond despite it being years since Boy Meets World was on television.
While the original series ended in 2000, a sequel series called Girl Meets World aired on Disney Channel between 2014 and 2017. Original show star Ben Savage joined Fishel, Strong, Daniels, Friedle and others to reprise their roles as the show shifted focus to Cory and Topanga's kids. Rowan Blanchard played the couple's daughter, Riley, while Sabrina Carpenter starred as Riley's best friend, Maya.
Now, Fishel, Strong and Friedle host the rewatch podcast, Pod Meets World, which started in early 2022.
