Well people still have to pay their bills. This is way more complex than just writing it off as saying "If she had so many bad feelings about the show, then why did she come back?" And if you look back at that particular episode, Trina only had one scene with Rider Strong and no interaction with the rest cast. It isn't like she had to deal with Ben, Danielle, and/or Will again.

EXCEPT...DANIELLE AND BEN WERE BOTH PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS ON THE SERIES...AND BEN WAS IN ANGELA'S LONE SCENE.

I went and checked, and while you're correct that Ben was in Trina/Angela's lone scene, he didn't direct that particular episode. William Russ (Alan Matthews) is listed as the director for "Girl Meets Hurricane". And regardless, do you see any reason why Trina would lie about her experiences!? I mean it's a pretty bold accusation to go on social media and pretty much accuse your co-workers (much less co-workers on a popular '90s sitcom) of alienation and even borderline racism. It makes you wonder what was the real reason for her rather abrupt departure towards the end of Boy Meets World. I mean the whole thing about Angela going to live with her father seemed to have come from out of the blue.

I KNOW HE DIDNT DIRECT,BUT HE AND DANIELLE WERE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE SHOWS PRODUCTION...IM SURE THE ASSHOLES I WORKED WITH AT WAL MART 20 YEARS AGO NEED TO BE CALLED OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW!

reply

And might I ask, do you know exactly how much Trina interacted with Ben and Danielle production-wise for that particular episode? And do you exactly know the real merit of Ben and Danielle's producing credits on Girl Meets World? Sometimes, when renegotiating their contracts an actor will receive a producing credit because it gives them a small portion of the show's profits. In other words, they now own a piece of the show instead of merely being an employee. With that being said, does that necessarily mean that they're deeply involved in the creative, day-to-day handling of the show?

I'll give Ben, Danielle and Will some benefit of the doubt only because when you get right down to it, this is a case of "he said, she said". Also, Trina (even if you take aside the inevitable racial quotient) was considerably older than the rest of the gang, who were still literally kids. So of course, it's safe to suspect that there would be a clash of personalities.

IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE KID OF THING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH AT THE TIME OR DROPPED...
