Why 'Boy Meets World' Star Ben Savage Finally Breaks Silence on Cast Ghosting: The Shocking Truth Revealed!

Content: Will Friedle, star of Boy Meets World, opens up about confronting his former on-screen brother, Ben Savage, regarding their lack of communication. The strong chemistry among the Boy Meets World cast, particularly the main quartet - Savage, Friedle, Rider Strong, and Danielle Fishel - played a significant role in the sitcom's enduring success and subsequent spinoff in the mid-2010s. However, during a thorough rewatch podcast called Pod Meets World, the actors candidly admit that not everything about the show was positive.

During an interview with Variety, Friedle, Fishel, and Strong disclose that they haven't had any contact with Savage for three years. The trio, known for their respective portrayals of Eric Matthews, Topanga Lawrence, and Shawn Hunter, state that Savage, who played the lead character Cory Matthews, suddenly stopped communicating with them. This came as a surprise, as Fishel mentions her close relationship with Savage in the past, even recalling how he checked up on her when her baby arrived prematurely. Below is Friedle's account of confronting Savage about his sudden absence. On the other hand, Fishel remains optimistic that they will eventually reconnect.

Friedle expressed his confusion and longing for answers about the sudden disappearance of someone from his life. Despite no conflicts or negative feelings between them, the person made the decision to cut ties without any apparent reason. In an attempt to understand the situation, Friedle reached out through a text, reminding the person of their long-standing relationship and asking for an explanation. Determined to find closure, Friedle committed to calling the person every day until they explicitly asked him to stop. This routine persisted for approximately three weeks to a month.

Content: "I've known him since he was 11 years old, and we share a long history. We used to attend conventions together, getting to know each other as adults. However, he suddenly decided to cut ties with me. I made numerous efforts for months, but my wife eventually made me realize that I was only hurting myself. It was clear that he didn't want me in his life."

Fishel: "This podcast has taught me that everyone is on their own journey, and they have their own unique experiences that can be interpreted differently based on one's perspective. Personally, Ben and I may currently be estranged and have our grievances against each other, but I will always have love for him and wish him the best. I believe our story isn't over yet, but only time will tell."

Boys Meets World's Cast Is Refreshingly Candid

The cast of Boy Meets World has frequently made headlines with their candid reflections, and this podcast is no exception. While there have been lighter moments, such as Fishel confessing her crush on Strong, what sets this project apart is the willingness of the three hosts to delve into uncomfortable memories. In contrast to other rewatch podcasts that stick to surface-level discussions, they aren't afraid to touch on controversies.

In the podcast, Fishel, Strong, and Friedle have expressed their discomfort with certain intimate scenes in the series, and Fishel has also opened up about the gender pay gap she experienced compared to the male stars of Boy Meets World, as well as her threatened firing by co-creator Michael Jacobs. Recent discussions have shed light on the replacement of the original Topanga actor due to appearance concerns and the inappropriate suggestive remarks Fishel faced from executives.

The conversations shed light on significant issues that need to be addressed. Simultaneously, the trio expresses their gratitude for their time on the 1990s sitcom and also discuss happier memories, while also being willing to critique it. This contrast and the refreshing honesty create a more enriching listening experience, especially when Friedle delves into the awkward realities of being neglected by his Boy Meets World co-star.
