Will Friedle Admits Crush on Danielle Fishel

Will Friedle, known for his role in Boy Meets World, has openly discussed a past romantic interest in his former co-star Danielle Fishel. During a recent episode of their "Pod Meets World" podcast, Friedle confessed to Fishel that he had developed feelings for her years after the show ended.

Fishel, who played Topanga Lawrence, expressed surprise, stating she had no prior knowledge of Friedle's crush. Friedle, who portrayed Eric Matthews, clarified that the feelings surfaced around 2005 or 2006, a period when both actors were single and interacting.

Despite experiencing these feelings, Friedle decided not to pursue a relationship, acknowledging it might have introduced unwelcome awkwardness into their dynamic. His co-host, Rider Strong, who played Shawn Hunter, agreed that not pursuing a romance was likely beneficial.

Strong suggested that any relationship could have dissolved, potentially impacting their current friendship and podcast. Both Friedle and Fishel acknowledged that a past romance could have hindered their current happiness and relationships, including their marriages to their respective partners.

This revelation follows Fishel's own past admissions about having a crush on Strong during their time on Boy Meets World. The cast members' candid discussions about past affections have become a recurring theme on their podcast.
