“This episode is maybe the worst episode of television I’ve ever seen ever in my life. It’s terrible. There’s not one redeeming quality other than Ben. It makes no sense. It’s stupid, and it is not funny,” Danielle said on the Pod Meets World podcast.
Danielle also said that the moment made her realize she was “done” with the beloved teen sitcom. “I checked my soul out of my body,” she said.
Meanwhile, Rider said he blocked out filming the episode from his memory. Will Friedle, who played Eric, described it as “one of the worst TV kisses” he had ever witnessed.
Last year, Danielle opened up about her relationship with Girl Meets World costar Sabrina Carpenter.
