‘Girl Meets World’ Cast: Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel Talk ‘Committed And Passionate Fans’ And Being 90’s Icons As Cory And Topanga

"Girl Meets World," which hits the Disney Channel this summer, will star "Boy Meets World" actors Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, who will reprise their roles as Cory and Topanga. Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel recently talked about their "committed and passionate fans" from "Boys Meets World," and coming back to their roles as 90's icons in "Girl Meets World" as Cory and Topanga.

"We have excited fans who grew up with the show. They're passionate about the show and they're happy," Ben Savage explained, SheKnows reports. "So, now that we're doing 'Girl Meets World,' it's interesting because we have a lot of - most of our audience - because we tape in front of a live audience, are people that grew up with us. So, it's a weird, interesting mix of 11-13-year-olds and then 28-year-olds shoving them out of the way so that they can watch us. So, I don't want to say strange, but we have very committed and passionate fans and we like having them."

Danielle Fishel was quick to point out that calling them '90s icons still didn't feel quite normal to her, SheKnows reports.

"I don't know. I still find it surprising," Fishel said. "I don't think someone telling you you're iconic ever really registers. Maybe for some people it does and maybe that's why some people end up with big heads. But, I really don't think either one of us think of ourselves that way."

"Except my license plate says 'Icon,'" Savage teased. "C+T=Iconic."

"To all the 'Boy Meets World' fans, everyone is in for a lot of surprises," Savage said. "And don't worry. We hear our fans' concerns that they want the show to live up to the original and we're working very hard to make sure that it does."

"I was really excited about it. More than anything, I looked forward to working with Ben again," Fishel said. "I mean, Ben and I are quite a pair, onscreen and off. And I love working with him, he makes everything fun. And he makes me excited to come to work every day, so that's what I was excited about."
