There's no room for a boy on "Girl Meets World," the Disney Channel's highly-anticipated "Boy Meets World" spinoff.

Actor Teo Halm tweeted Saturday that he would no longer be on the show, after "Disney decided it wouldn't work to have an older brother." Halm was slated to play Elliot Matthews, the older brother of the show's protagonist, Riley Matthews (Rowan Blanchard.)

You know the kid that looked like Eric's love child with Topanga?

Can someone screencap the tweet from Danielle Fishel?

 

[Preble]

Makes sense. Maybe Riley can hang out with Eric's kid(s).

 

[Escape Goat]

They're just remaking the old show. What was the problem?

 

[TUSR]

no older brother? eric matthews was my favourite character on the show

 

[Quick]

@TeoHalm Teo, you are an incredible talent and I adore you. You may still call me "mom."

Brazzers.

 

[SteveWinwood]

i hope they have an in cannon excuse or else no one will take this show seriously

 

[Nif]

My memory is fuzzy, didn't they have a son at the end of Boy Meets World?

 

[Dram]

I wonder what happened?

 

[Sub_Level]

Jesus Christ the fanfic I was gonna write in tandem with the show is worthless now.

You need an older asshole brother. It just wouldn't be like Boy Meets World then.

eric was not much of an older asshole brother after the first season or two though.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Well they can turn the asshole into a dumbass in season 3 like they did with Eric.

I think the parents had another kid.

 

[kirblar]

Probably being replaced with a female sibling.

 

[Penguin]

I wonder what happened?

I assume figured it was too much like the original show with 3 kids and having the star be the middle child.

Feel like this show will be equal with the kids and parents storyline as well and was probably one too many characters

I lold

Yeah. His name was Joshua, I believe.

 

[VanWinkle]

Couldn't have lived up to Eric anyway, but that's disappointing. Also against canon. It's good to have both genders there to have a male and female audience that can relate to the characters.

I actually feel like watching one of my Boy Meets World DVDs. The show still holds up.

 

[AniHawk]

Probably being replaced with a female sibling.

and she is secretly a pop sensation by night.

 

[gdt]

I mean ok.

 

[Sean]

I wonder how they'll write him out. I remember on Family Matters the youngest daughter Judy Winslow just disappeared one day and was never spoken of again.

And look what happened to her. Watch out guy.

It hasn't premiered so I imagine that he won't ever appear.

 

[Touch]

I didn't even know Girl Meets World was a thing...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cory and Topanga would have had to have kinds in boy meets world for such a timeline to make sense anyway
