For weeks, Danielle Fishel has been teasing a Boy Meets World reunion on Dancing with the Stars, and yesterday was it. Since it was Dedication Night, she dedicated her dance to the legendary William Daniels, who was the father figure to all of them on the set. She even included the 98-year-old (Can you believe that Mr. Feeney is that old?) in her dance with Pasha Pashkov, who dressed up as the absent Ben Savage.
The two of them were not alone. Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews), Trina McGee (Angela Moore), Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Bolander), and Alex Désert (Eli Williams) were in the audience cheering them on. And they had a lot to cheer for.

This morning on Good Morning America, they revealed who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars. And, like most seasons, I am still trying to figure out who most of the stars are.
So, who are they? They are:
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Jen Affleck with partner Jan Ravnik
Author and wellness influencer Hilaria Baldwin and partner Gleb Savchenko
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with partner Ezra Sosa
NBA All-Star Baron Davis with partner Britt Stewart
Social media personality Alix Earle with partner Val Chmerkovskiy
Social media and reality TV star Dylan Efron and partner Daniella Karagach
Actor and musician Corey Feldman with partner Jenna Johnson
“Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel with partner Pasha Pashkov
Film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix with partner Alan Bersten
From “Pentatonix,” GRAMMY® winner Scott Hoying with partner Rylee Arnold
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with partner Witney Carson
From “Fifth Harmony,” Lauren Jauregui with partner Brandon Armstrong
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Whitney Leavitt with partner Mark Ballas
Comedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater
I think that Jennifer Affleck has a good chance of winning. Not because she is the best dancer, which she might be. She will win because her partner is Jan Ravnik, whose claim to fame is dancing on the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Therefore, the Swifties will be voting for him in mass, and we know how massive their support is.
I also think that Corey Feldman and Hilaria Baldwin will be the first ones out because I don’t think they are not that likable.
Season 34 premieres dances its way onto ABC on September 16th.
Before Danielle Fishel was playing with Cory Matthews on Boy Meets World, she was playing with Magic Nursery First Surprise Babies. She looks the same now as she did when she was 10 in that 1991 commercial.
Back in the ’89s and ’90s, Millennial teens were watching TGIF on ABC on Friday nights. They watched sitcoms like Full House, Boy Meets World, and Step By Step. However, they never were able to watch all on the same night or see the casts together.
But that changed recently because several cast members from each series got together to have a Podswap!
Who took part in the Podswap? It was Full House’s Andrea Barber, Jodie Sweetin, Boy Meets World’s Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Step By Step’s Stacy Keanan and Christine Lakin.
What did the seven of them talk about? Lakin says, “We share our weirdest holiday gifts, favorite Christmas movies, and so much more!
How much fun would it be if someone could figure out how to do a crossover movie with the seven of them? It would totally transport us back to our childhoods!
Danielle Fishel had something about her health to share with her fans, so she told her audience today on Pod Meets World.
“I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for Ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer,” she told Rider Strong and Will Friedle. “It’s very, very, very early. It’s technically stage zero.”
She then said because it was caught so early, she will be fine. She will have to go under the knife and then preventative treatment, but that is all for now.
At first, the Boy Meets World star wanted to keep it private. But she decided to share it with everyone in case her diagnosis can help someone else.
The actress made time to get a mammogram, and her cancer was caught very early. So, she is encouraging others to do the same.
