Boy Meets World Meets Sister Sister, anyone?

EW has confirmed that actress Jackée Harry, best known to Gen Xers as 227‘s vampy, Emmy-winning Sandra and to Millennials as Sister Sister‘s flamboyant adoptive mom Lisa, will appear in the pilot episode of Girl Meets World. There’s no word yet on whether Harry appears as a guest star or as a potential recurring character, should the Boy Meets World spinoff be picked up to series.

So, will Jackée be playing a sassy teacher who works with Cory (Ben Savage)? A sassy lawyer who works with Topanga (Danielle Fishel)? A sassy neighbor who serves as little Maya’s (Rowan Blancard) answer to Mr. Feeny (William Daniels)? Disney’s keeping mum on details for now — so feel free to speculate wildly, and to dream up possible GMW roles for other TGIF alumni. There’s got to be a part here for Melissa Joan Hart!

Ready for more Boy Meets World spin-off casting scoop?

The hotly aniticpated Disney Channel pilot has filled the key role of Maya Fox, the rebellious best friend of Cory and Topanga’s tween daughter, Riley Matthews (played by 11-year-old Rowan Blanchard).

Pennsylvania native Sabrina Carpenter, age 13, has landed the role.

Carpenter is also a singer who’s signed to Hollywood Records (although there are no plans to make her Girl Meets World TV character a singer). Her first single with the label is called “Smile” — it was included on the Disney Fairies CDs, Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust, and charted on Radio Disney’s top 30. For videos of her singing go here. She’s also cast in Fox’s comedy project The Goodwin Games and is guest starring in an episode of Disney Channel’s hit Austin and Ally in the coming months.

Girl Meets World is set to begin production next month for consideration on Disney Channel’s 2013-14 schedule. The pilot also stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, now as parents, reprising the roles they made famous on ABC-TV’s hit series Boy Meets World. The pilot is executive-produced by Michael Jacobs (Boy Meets World, My Two Dads and Charles In Charge, among others).

UPDATE: ‘Boy Meets World’ adds 2 more roles, plus new details on Cory and Topanga’s son — EXCLUSIVE

The good news: Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel have officially signed on to reprise their roles as Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence in Girl Meets World, Disney Channel’s hotly anticipated Boy Meets World spinoff/sequel.

The bad news: In all likelihood, Rider Strong, who played the show’s third lead — trailer-park-kid-with-a-heart-of-gold Shawn Hunter — will not be joining them.

“Boy Meets World was a defining aspect of my life, and I cherish those seven years,” he said in a statement. “So I am extremely happy for Ben and Danielle to be able to continue the story. At this point, I have no official involvement in Girl Meets World.” Aw, undapants!
