In the American sitcom “Boy Meets World”, which was broadcast in the years 1993-2000, Bonnie Morgan was to play the role of Topanga Lawrence – a crazy hippie and friend of the main characters. The actress recalls that she was excited from the beginning – after the casting she felt a specific bond with her character. However, it soon turned out that her adventure on the set of the sitcom would not last long.

At first, everything seemed to be going according to plan. The star’s agent assured her that the creator of the series – Michael Jacobs – was delighted with the performance of the young actress.

The creators of the series explained that they were not satisfied with the acting of the woman.

A grown man in an executive position was willing to lie that I had no talent because he thought I wasn’t pretty,” Morgan confessed on the podcast. Finally, the role of Topanga Lawrence went to Danielle Fishel and she was associated with the production for seven consecutive seasons.
