Will Friedle Talks "Girl Meets World"

July 26, 2013

Will Friedle and his close BMW friend Rider Strong visited the set of Disney Channel’s upcoming sequel-slash-spinoff "Girl Meets World", which premieres in 2014.

The whole day, says Friedle, was “incredible” — particularly the when he and Strong reunited with 86-year-old William Daniels, who played "Boy Meets World‘s" consummate teacher Mr. Feeny.

“There was a very touching moment where he just came up and threw his arms around both Rider and myself,” Friedle recalls. Fittingly, he added, “we were sitting in the classroom set when he did it.”

Friedle may never go back to "Girl Meets World‘s" set; as of now, he says, he’s got “no involvement with the show other than as a fan.” And frankly, Friedle wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I think the new cast should have a chance to get their feet wet and learn their characters without all of us looking over their shoulders, the same way we had a chance to do that.”

Plus, said Friedle, “they’ve got Ben [Savage] and Danielle [Fishel] there, who are just the perfect pied pipers for the next generation.”

If the spinoff does bring back his character at some point, though, Friedle would be pleased — and ready for pretty much anything.

“Eric could be the director of the CIA, or he could be living in an alley somewhere. You just never know with Eric,” the actor said with a laugh. “But I can tell you, whatever Eric is doing right now, he’s got a huge smile on his face.”

Cool! Thanks for the link. Good to know Will Friedle is up for guest starring on the show if they choose to bring him on there. I'd sure love to see Eric appear on there- but I do think it's a good idea to give the show some time to grow on its own first.

I agree. It's good to give the show some breathing room first.

But I still hope for Eric's appearance eventually.
