Trina McGee is revealing some more hard truths from behind the scenes of the beloved sitcom, “Boy Meets World”. The series alum appeared on a recent episode of “Pod Meets World”, a “BMW” rewatch podcast hosted by stars Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong, where she revealed why she didn’t appear in the show’s series finale.
McGee played Strong’s onscreen girlfriend, Angela Moore, for three seasons and was the only Black actress on the celebrated ’90s show. Over the last few years, she’s opened up about the negative experiences that came with the fan-favourite role, including being called “Aunt Jemima” by Friedle, and feeling unwelcome by other actors on the show — including Fishel, when McGee guest starred on the revival series, “Girl Meets World”, in 2015.

During the podcast’s new episode, McGee alleged that she had been told that her castmates didn’t want her involved in the finale. Her last appearance was in the penultimate episode in which Angela leaves with her father for Europe, making her the only main character not to appear in the series finale.
“I was told, in kind of a weird, off-handed way by a very important person, that you guys all went to [showrunner] Michael Jacobs, and you said, ‘We don’t want her in the last episode. She’s somehow taking our light,’ was the gist of it,” McGee said. “I was told that after I shot what was the show before the last episode, which was called ‘Angela’s Ashes’ when I left.”
“That was really hurtful to me for a long time,” the actress shared, referring to the incident as “ground we have not covered.”

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Days after top YouTube exec Robert Kyncl was named as the next CEO of Warner Music Group, the company revealed in an SEC filing that he will earn approximately $15 million in his first year on the job, depending on performance targets.
