America fell in love with Danielle Fishel as we watched her grow up on ABC's long-running primetime family sitcom Boy Meets World, where she played Topanga Lawrence. And now that she's all grown up, the actress is speaking out about her character's namesake (spoiler: it's an homage to Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles), the spinoff she's set to star in as Mrs. Topanga Lawrence-Matthews called Girl Meets World, and what it was like to be part of ABC's epic Friday night lineup, TGIF.
