(CNN) -- For those of us still religiously watching reruns of "Boy Meets World," great news: TVLine
reports that the Disney Channel is considering a sequel series, "Girl
Meets World," that would focus on the adolescent daughter of Ben
Savage's Cory Matthews and Danielle Fishel's Topanga Lawrence.
Word has it Disney is
also trying to get Matthews and Fishel to return to portraying Cory and
Topanga, and Fishel raised our hopes by tweeting
November 3, "Just want you guys to know that @BenSavage and I have
talked and we've decided ... Thanksgiving is going to be delicious this
year!"
While we wait to see whether Disney will make a "Boy Meets World" update a reality, let's catch up with the cast:
Ben Savage (Cory Matthews)
Ben Savage played the
mischievous Cory Matthews from 1993-2000, going from sixth-grader to
college student and newlywed. Following "Boy Meets World" series finale,
Savage went on to graduate from college in real life, earning a degree
in political science from Stanford in 2004.
The now 32-year-old has
continued to act, both in movies like 2007's "Palo Alto, CA," and with
appearances on shows such as "Without a Trace," "Bones," "Chuck" and
"Shake It Up!"
William Daniels (George Feeny)
William Daniels' George
Feeny was one of the most beloved adult characters on "Boy Meets World,"
playing a teacher/principal/next-door neighbor and voice of reason to
Cory Matthews.
Daniels moved on from
following Cory throughout his educational career to landing roles on
"Touched by an Angel," "The Closer" and "The King of Queens." Most
recently, 85-year-old Daniels appeared on the ninth season of "Grey's
Anatomy" as Dr. Craig Thomas.
Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter)
It's unknown if Cory's
best friend, Shawn Hunter, would be in consideration for a potential new
series, but we sure hope so. The character, with his leather jacket and
floppy haircut that turned actor Rider Strong into a major crush for
fans, appeared in all 158 episodes of "Boy Meets World."
After the series ended
in 2000, Strong continued acting in shows such as "Kim Possible" and
"Pepper Dennis," and movies such as 2002's "Cabin Fever." The Columbia
grad (English, '04) and Bennington College M.F.A. has moved behind the
camera as of late, having written and directed projects along with his
brother, Shiloh, such as 2008's "Irish Twins."
Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews)
After playing the mom of
Cory Matthews, Amy, Betsy Randle has kept a low profile. The married
actress and mom of two was last spotted on the now-defunct series
"Charmed" in 2004.
Will Friedle (Eric Matthews)
Will Friedle played Cory
Matthews' lovably dense older brother, Eric, for seven years. Once the
show ended, Friedle kept up a career on the small screen, although
viewers might not have recognized him. Now 36, he's done voice work on
"Batman Beyond," "Kim Possible," "The Penguins of Madagascar" and
"Thundercats" as Lion-O.
William Russ (Alan Matthews)
William Russ, now 62,
moved on from playing even-keeled dad (and pretty randy husband!) Alan
Matthews to roles in both daytime ("The Young and the Restless") and
primetime ("Boston Legal"). He's most recently appeared on the CBS new
series "Vegas."
Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence)
Danielle Fishel came to
fame playing '90s dream girl Topanga Lawrence, who went from aggravating
know-it-all to Cory Matthews' sweetheart and, at series end, his wife.
Fishel tried her hand at film with "National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze"
after the series ended, but has moved away from acting in recent years.
The 31-year-old has
served as a special correspondent on "The Tyra Banks Show," as host of
Style's "The Dish," and now appears on MSN TV's "Last Night on TV."
Lily Nicksay (Morgan Matthews, 1993-95)
The original Morgan,
Lily Nicksay played little sister to Cory and Eric for two years before
Lindsay Ridgeway took over. Nicksay, now 24, has continued to work in TV
with roles on "Judging Amy" and "8 Simple Rules."
Lindsay Ridgeway (Morgan Matthews, 1996-2000)
After playing the
slightly older Morgan for the remainder of "Boy Meets World's"
seven-season run, Ridgeway did voice work on the TV series "Totally
Spies!" Like some of her castmates, Ridgeway went on to pursue a higher
education at the University of California, Riverside, from which she
graduated in 2007.
Anthony Tyler Quinn (Jonathan Turner)
After playing high
school teacher Jonathan Turner from 1994 to 1997, Anthony Tyler Quinn
stayed on the small screen with roles on "Melrose Place" and "Caroline
in the City," plus a steady diet of guest appearances. ("Pretty Little
Liars" fans, did you spot him in the 2012 episode, "A Hot Piece of A"?)
Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter)
Matthew Lawrence,
brother of fellow actors Joey and Andrew, played the older half-brother
of Shawn Hunter and Eric Matthews' best friend and roommate, Jack. The
32-year-old actor has landed big screen roles after "Boy Meets World" in
movies such as 2002's "The Hot Chick" and 2007's "The Comebacks."
Trina McGee (Angela Moore)
Rider Strong's Shawn
Hunter was a heartthrob, but to Trina McGee's credit, fans also rooted
for her character Angela's relationship with the resident bad boy of
"Boy Meets World." The 43-year-old mother of three continued acting on
the big-screen with an appearance in 2002's "Friday After Next" and on
the small screen with an appearance in 2007 on the comedy,"All of Us."
Lee Norris (Stuart Minkus)
Longtime fans remember
the nerdy Minkus well, but the character didn't last long on the series.
Lee Norris, however, has had a healthy TV career; the 31-year-old has
starred on "One Tree Hill" as Marvin "Mouth" McFadden.
