'Boy Meets World' star Danielle Fishel says her dad and agent made her skip a table read while negotiating a large 'pay disparity' in her contract

• Danielle Fishel spoke about the pay discrepancy between her and her male costars.

• After she was made a regular, her team advised her to skip a table read.

• She followed the advice of her team but thought she would be fired.

Danielle Fishel and her co-hosts Rider Strong and Will Friedle discussed the large pay disparity in Fishel's contract when compared to her male costars.

The hosts and their guest Lauren Lapkus were talking about Fishel's standing on the show throughout the early seasons of the hit TGIF sitcom when Fishel mentioned the pay disparity that persisted even after he became a series regular.

She said that the excuse was that they didn't know you were going to be on the show.

When Fishel was a child, he played a small part in the first season of the show. Michael Jacobs and the producers of the series saw potential in the pair and decided to include more episodes in the first and second seasons.

You knew by the second season. Fishel said that the excuse that there wasn't enough money in the budget to pay her more should go out the window by the second season. However, it did not.

Fishel said that executives gave her and her team the same excuse late in the third season, even though she and Strong had the same agent.

Fishel was paid less even when the show was clearly building the characters.

It was on the first episode of "Cory's Alternative Friends" that Topanga kissed Cory for the first time. Fishel's friendship with Shawn was more important than his friendship with Fishel.

Fishel said she had to threaten to not show up to a table read because her team was fighting to get her paid fairly.

Fishel said that her father and agent stood their ground in negotiations with ABC or Disney and told her she had to skip a table read to show they were serious.

Fishel said to her team, "You're going to lose this job for me." She said she wasn't interested in getting paid fairly as much as her parents were.

I will never speak to my family again if they fire me because I don't show up to a table read, that's what the mother of two said.

She noted that she didn't show up.

Fishel went on to star as Topanga on every season of the show until it ended in 2000, so it's possible that the contract dispute was resolved in a way that was pleasing to her team.

There are new episodes of the show every week.
