Boy Meets World

Girl Meets World creator, Michael Jacobs sat down with Entertainment Weekly and talked the highly anticipated sequel. In the interview, they talked about the premise of Girl Meets World, Riley’s personality, Cory/Topanga as parents, and so much more.

On the premise of Girl Meets World: “Jacobs says he hopes the pilot for Girl Meets World captures ‘the confusions about growing up and what we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to aspire to be.’ As for Jacobs’ own aspirations for the show, he says, ‘There’s a column that I want to play in and that column contains The Wonder Years and Happy Days. That was always the column that I wanted Boy Meets World to be included in and I want Girl Meets World to be in that column as well.’”

On if Riley will be like one or both of her parents: “‘She is going to be much more like one than the other but that second parent will pop up in ridiculously unexpected times and places and add to the confusion of who this character is.’ As for who she’s isn’t? Jacobs says that Riley will not aspire to be an actress, singer, or dancer as many fans have speculated. ‘That was never Boy Meets World and it’s the farthest thing that this show will be.'”

On Cory and Topanga as parents:  “Topanga has always been much more certain that Cory. Cory has always been confused. That would never stop. Now he’s a father. Cory Matthews doesn’t know how to be a father. He’s following in the footsteps of  [Mr. Feeney], the most influential character in his life. Should he be? Will he succeed? Can he influence children like Feeney influenced children?

What is Topanga’s observation of that? How does she help? And what is Topanga’s life? And what has she become? You’ll remember we left the series and they were in Philly and they were going on an adventure to go to New York. Did they succeed? Did it work? All of that will be answered in the pilot.”
