Tribute.Ca interviewed Ben and Rowan.

Did you have any challenges with the role in a completely new setting?
I was a little apprehensive about how to play the character. I’ve really enjoyed playing the character from a different perspective — from the older perspective, from being a dad and being a teacher.

Rowan, did you watch the show Boys Meets World before you began this series?
I had seen one or two episodes along with Full House and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. When I got the role, I went back and watched every single episode.

What was it like taking on the role of the iconic couple’s daughter?
Getting to play the iconic character’s child was very cool. Getting to work with them every week was very cool. I was very excited about this project because even the episodes I’d seen of Boy Meets World, I saw that overall they valued real life lessons and yet I was still laughing. So, I knew that hopefully this project would be similar to that. There hadn’t really been something that was like that for my age group. The thought that we’re doing that again is very exciting.

Do you each have a favorite episode?

Rowan: I have a top three. One of my favorites is Girl Meets Home For the Holidays, which is our kind of reunion episode. I think the reason I love that episode so much is because I think it set so many character relationships up that maybe you’ve not expected. We have Al and Amy come back and Rider, who plays Shawn, is in the later seasons of Boy Meets World. Some fans will remember Joshua who was Cory’s little brother, who’s all grown up. That’s definitely one of my favorites.

Ben: My favorite episode? That’s a hard question. I think I enjoy certain parts of every episode. I’m enjoying being the teacher and I’m enjoying the classroom scenes. So any episode which has a classroom scene…

Rowan: Which is almost every episode! (laughs)

Ben: Which is almost every episode (laughs), where I’m teaching, I’m really enjoying. It’s a new aspect for Cory Matthews and I think he’s getting pretty good at it.
