What is the *real* reason Lily was recast?


Boy Meets World was pretty atrocious with continuity, that's no secret. They dropped and rotated Corey's friends like mad. Was the Director just really temperamental? They seemed to have fired people constantly.

I'm not really buying that Lily dropped out to go study in Scotland or whatever. It seems she was fired and that was the politically correct way to answer why she left the show. Do you think her parents were difficult? She was bratty? She didn't act well? I've heard that they wanted to drop the Morgan character hoping no one would care or notice, but people did. Then when they reinstated her, it was as a different actress.

Lily Nicksay said herself that they just wanted to make Morgan older.

Also they rotated Coreys friends so much in the first season because none of them were working out and they wanted three friends, not so much a bromance. When Shawn mentioned a sister, that line was supposed to go to a third boy. Then Danielle Fishel established her chemistry with both actors and they started to gel so they didnt need to find a third boy. She filled the role.

I think they felt that since they time jumped 2 years, they needed her to look older and probably thought it would be more believable if it looked as if Morgan aged two years instead of looking excatlly the same.
