Actor Bonnie Morgan said she was originally cast as Topanga on Boy Meets World and got fired on the first day of production for not being pretty enough.

Morgan blamed director David Trainer for the ouster after a day on the set that included a tense exchange with him over how to say a line and a reprimand for laughing at co-star Ben Savages off-script teasing.

Morgan made the revelation to, of all people, Danielle Fishel , on the Pod Meets World podcast this week. Fishel made the role of Topanga famous on the 1993-2000 comedy and reprised it a few years ago on Girl Meets World (2014-17).
