00:00The cast of Boy Meets World isn't giving up.
00:03Actors from the hit 90s series are opening up about their hopes to reconcile with former co-star Ben Savage.
00:09Will Friedel, who played Ben's older brother on the show, tells People Magazine,
00:13There's so many times I want to pick up the phone and still do.
00:16I know I'm shouting into the void, but I'm going to keep doing it.
00:20I haven't given up on my friend, and I'm hoping that he comes back into our lives at some point.
00:25Friedel has been outspoken with the rest of the cast about being suddenly ghosted by Ben Savage.
00:30They've made several public and private pleas to try to get in touch since revealing the estrangement three years ago.
00:36Boy Meets World stars writer Strong, Danielle Fishel, and Friedel say that in 2020, Ben simply stopped talking to all
00:43of them.
00:44They've spoken out about how hurt and confused they are by the radio silence.
00:48Friedel said at first he tried calling Ben every day for an entire month.
00:52Six years later, he says none of them have gotten a reply or a call back.
00:56Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga on the series, said the cast originally approached Ben to join their rewatch podcast, Pod
01:03Meets World.
01:04Fishel said he declined, but told them he didn't want to stop them from making the show.
01:08She says there was no fight, but he just disappeared from their lives.
01:12Fishel reunited with Ben Savage in 2014 for the sequel series, Girl Meets World, that aired on Disney Channel for
01:18three seasons.
01:19They reprised their roles as Cori and Topanga, married with children of their own.
01:24Fishel says she and Ben were very close in each other's lives in the years after Girl Meets World ended.
01:29His co-stars have been vocal about trying to get in touch.
01:33They've known him for over 30 years and used to appear together at fan conventions.
01:37So far, Ben Savage hasn't publicly or privately acknowledged them.
