"Girl Meets World" Nixes Older Brother Character
Oct 6, 2013
by Liz Raftery

"Girl Meets World" has decided to scrap the character of Elliot, the oldest son of Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) and big brother to the titular Girl, Riley (Rowan Blanchard).

Teo Halm, the 13-year-old actor who was set to play Elliot, shared the news on Twitter Saturday. "So guys, Disney decided that it wouldn't work to have an older brother on the show; I won't be on Girl Meets World. Thank you to everyone," he wrote.

Fishel seems to be settling into her role as a mother nicely, as she responded: "Teo, you are an incredible talent and I adore you. You may still call me 'mom.'"

Halm wrote back: "That means so much to me. Thanks 'mom.'"

Riley will still have one sibling on the show — a younger brother named Louis (August Maturo).

If I had to wager a guess as to why it's probably because the character was too similar to Eric.

Actually I am hoping it's cause Disney realized the timeline for them to have a 15 year old son doesn't work

That is what I am hoping as well. The couple has been married for 13 years if we go by the correct timeline. They already have a 12 year old daughter so we will see how this turns out. I do feel bad for the actor though. No one wants to be out of the job.

show wise it would have worked much better - the little kid is BORING and adds nothing to the show. oh well.

Wow I never thought a kiddie-com losing a cast member would even elicit a reaction.

kiddie-com? not sure what that is but this is a classic spin-off....this is a spin off of many current parents childhoods. who wouldn't want this show to be as good as it can be?

the younger kid adds nothing to the show - in fact it takes away from Topanga's role. i guess the time line does make more sense now though. too late to correct things now.

Its Disney, need I say more?

I'll give it at least until the girls on the show turn 16-17 because Disney will no longer contain their growing hormones by then.

these kids seem to be fine no ariana attitudes

He'll probably settle for 5 million and call it a day.

my bad for the multi post , connections messed up

spunkygirl · 10-03-2014, 10:54 AM

I was just thinking last night that it works better with Riley as the older sibling

I havent watched too much of Girl Meets World but the little brother isnt really needed. In fact, he was hardly in one or two of the episodes that I watched. And the little brother on the show, I think his name is Auggie, he needs to get a haircut.
