He even had a dorm room, as the school required, though he didn’t stay there every night. In 2004, four years after the show ended, Strong graduated with an English degree from Columbia University. The academic life suited him; in 2009, he earned an MFA from Bennington College.

I mean, Cory does tend to getway too involved in other people’s personal lives, and Angela may not have been thrilled with his meddling, but his heart was in the right place. When I heardBoy Meets World was coming back in the form ofGirl Meets World, I was super excited, and not just because I wanted to know what my favorite characters were up to in the present day. Most of all, I wanted to see what Cory and Shawn the BFFs were like as fully formed adults, and I wasnot disappointed.

ANOTHER CHARACTER THAT WAS REPLACED: MORGAN MATTHEWS.

Cory pulls a series of stunts to try to gain Topanga’s attention. Season three starts with Cory’s intent on asking Topanga to be his girlfriend. Since he gets cold feet, Shawn and Trini devise a plan to expedite the process. Shawn asks Topanga out himself as a ruse to make Cory jealous. When the rest of the class learns that Cory didn’t kiss Topanga, they tease him incessantly. Cory’s parents learn of Eric’s involvement and force him to help Cory resolve his reputation.

In season 4 they are 11th grade, in season 5 they are in 12th grade, and in seasons 6-7 they are in college. Aside from here appearances on Girl Meets World, Danielle Fishel doesn’t do much on-screen Disney action of her own. Although, she still plays an active part behind the scenes of some of the network’s sitcoms. When he was around six he started developing a crush on her, but the childish crush was much different than how he felt now. “It wasn’t like a real date or anything, we were just like, ‘Maybe we should hang out outside of work and see if we really like each other. Though they break up in The Grass is Always Greener, Cory shows that he isn’t over Topanga in “A Kiss is More Than a Kiss”.

Eric shows them that what they are going through is normal, and they should be supportive of each other even with these issues. 2032.36Riley is shocked when Maya tells her that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Cory asks his students how they think they will be remembered in history, and he suggests creating a class time capsule. Cory then remembers the time capsule that he, Topanga, and Shawn buried fifteen years ago in Philadelphia, causing him to elatedly go out and buy shovels so they can dig it up. Maya and Riley go to Philadelphia with Cory, Topanga, and Shawn to dig up the time capsule in Mr. Feeny’s yard.

When did Cory start like Topanga?

Cory admits to being wrong about not allowing them to feel as a natural part of their changing, but sees how much his class has learned while in middle school. For the final lesson, he challenges them to leave a lasting mark for future John Quincy Adams students to remember them by, prompting them to dedicate a new bench in the school hallway. As they graduate and leave middle school behind, they decide for their class prank to steal their school mascot, which shocks Cory. Through Riley’s call to Superintendent Turner and a heavily-supported petition, Cory is allowed to transfer schools so he can continue to teach Riley and her friends in high school. 2061.75Riley and Lucas are two members on the school honor board, which is to decide a case involving Maya and Farkle.

In this moment, they were discussing the fact that Cory was pretty damn sure Topanga was pregnant but not telling him, so they were trying to decide what to do about it. Of course, Topanga wasn’t pregnant but the point is that Shawn was there for him. A lot of what I’ve witnessed in male friendships in my life is that some guys aren’t quite as touchy-feely as women might be. They were never afraid to hug each other or tell each other how they feel, and that’s valuable in any friendship, no matter if you’re a boy or a girl. So shut up, Topanga — even though they’re boys, they can totally hug (and they should!).

Are Tony and Ziva dating in real life?

Smackle later decides to observe Farkle in Cory’s class, and after Farkle confirms he does not have Asperger’s, she feels uncomfortable but realizes he belongs around his friends rather than at Einstein Academy.

Farkle shows the same compassion Smackle showed him after discovering this. 2042.20Riley and Maya get into a huge argument which threatens their friendship.

“Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself.” This was the one Boy Meets World episode that really put the friendships and relationships of Boy Meets World to the test. After a prank war goes too far, feelings are ignored and the episode takes a flash-forward look at how life would be if the core seven stopped being friends. With animosity still running high, Cory, Shawn, Angela, Eric, Jack, and Rachel realize they are stronger together than they are apart.

Cory confronts Stuart, but not many people have someone to fight for them. The issue then of victim-blaming and self-doubt are so genuine, it’s hard to keep it together. Shawn was the perfect portrait of any adolescent in America. He wasn’t a perfect middle-class human being, and as a result, he was really lost.
