Once
upon a time, back in the '90s, there was a beloved sitcom called
Boy Meets World. It starred a boy named
Cory and his longtime love Topanga (sweet name, right?).
Flash
forward to 2013 and meet their 13-year-old daughter, Riley Matthews! Disney
begins filming the pilot for Girl Meets World (a spin-off of the Boy Meets World phenomenon) next month. We came up with our own predictions
a couple months ago for who we think would be great for the role, but Disney
has gone and cast someone we think is even better!
Drumroll,
please…it’s Rowan Blanchard. You
might've seen this now 11-year-old actress in Spy Kids: All the Time in the World. But get ready to see
this lucky tween share the small screen with the original show's stars,
Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel.
If
all goes well, we'll get to tune in to see Girl Meets World (a TV show from Riley’s point of view)
sometime in the next year. But while we wait, we're happy to sit back and
enjoy our fave reruns of the hit show. Meet Minkus, Eric and Mr. Feeny, and
you'll be more excited than ever to meet Riley—promise!
Are
you a Boy Meets World fan? Do you
think they did a good job of casting for the role of Riley? Share in the
