On a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, the actress admitted that she didn’t think Cory Matthews ( Ben Savage ) and Topanga Lawrence’s (Fishel) wedding on the 1999 Boy Meets World episode ‘It’s About Time’ was “the right choice” for the show.
“I know from my just my memories of it, after we were married, feeling like, well, now we’re married, and they had to come up with new, like, upping the stakes for us,” she said. “And I remember not loving those stakes.”
As the wedding episode happened a quarter of the way through the show’s seventh and final season, Fishel believes the show “could have gotten more mileage out of them being together, but not yet married” while the characters were still in college.
She explained, “I think I might have her still do the proposal, and maybe he still says yes, and we go through the whole planning, and then we end up deciding it’s maybe not the right choice for us right now. And we still stay together. We don’t have to be broken up, but maybe we just save the marriage aspect for the end of the show and not spend the last, like, full year of the show married.”

Boy Meets World ran for seven seasons on ABC from 1993 to 2000, with Fishel and Savage reuniting for the Disney Channel spin-off Girl Meets World from 2014 to 2017. The show starred Rowan Blanchard as Cory and Topanga’s daughter Riley and Sabrina Carpenter as her friend Maya.
