As we have announced here at DizRadio.com over the last few months, a Boy Meets World spinoff show called ‘Girl Meets World’ has been in development for some time now with the original Cory and Topanga (Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel) on board.
The hype has been outstanding on this and everyone is all about it. Well it seems that according to Entertainment Weekly (EW), they have learned that Rowan Blanchard with play the title role and daughter or Cory and Topanga.

This 11 year old actress hails from the L.A. area and has a resume from such films as the Spy Kids franchise. She will play the role of Riley in the series that will debut on the Disney Channel tentatively. The search narrowed it down to her and let us say, she fits the bill. She has Cory’s dark hair and personable flair and Topanga’s look easily. She can really make this seem believable.
The pilot is set to go into initial production next month, but if the series gets picked up we can see this hit the small screen by 2013. And we all know, TV needs more sitcoms and shy away from reality TV.
