When Girl Meets World premiered in 2014, the Boy Meets World spin-off picked up the story of Topanga (Danielle Fishel) and Cory (Ben Savage), now centered on their daughter, Riley (Rowan Blanchard), with Rider Strong returning as family friend Shawn Hunter. Cory has become a teacher at his daughter’s school, putting Riley directly in his classroom.
The show’s second episode finds Cory confiscating his students’ phones to make a point about screen time. But when he notices Riley growing close to her crush, Lucas (Peyton Meyer), he takes a startling step: he secretly hands a phone to her best friend, Maya (Sabrina Carpenter), and asks her to monitor Riley and report back.
Strong didn’t hold back when the plot came up on his Pod Meets World podcast, calling it unsettling and out of character for Cory.
“This is so inappropriate, it’s so creepy,” Strong exclaimed. “There’s this very simple rule that if an adult asks you to keep a secret. I told my son that, it’s a very basic parenting thing: ‘Any adult asks you to keep a secret, don’t trust that person or come tell me.’ And here is the teacher asking her to keep a secret, and that secret is to keep an eye on his daughter. And he’s giving her a phone, which is anti-everything he’s been this entire time. And not in a funny way. In a really horrible way.”
Strong added that he understood the intended joke, that Cory had absorbed the wrong lesson from his own screen-time crusade, but said the execution “genuinely disturbed” him. He also was surprised that Disney, a company he described as typically cautious about this kind of material, let the storyline through.
More than a decade after the episode aired, Strong’s comments have reignited thoughts about how the storyline holds up in hindsight. For a show built around modeling healthy family dynamics, the plot remains a rare misstep; one that even one of its own stars is still processing years later.
