Boy Meets World fans got a big hit of nostalgia while watching Dancing with the Stars this week as Danielle Fishel brought out one of her costars for a very special reunion.
The contestants on DWTS each honored someone special to them for "Dedication Night" on Tuesday (October 14), and Fishel paid tribute to her time on Boy Meets World, dancing with pro partner Pasha Pashkov to the show's theme song, and to her costar William "Bill" Daniels, per Page Six. Daniels portrayed Mr. Feeny on the beloved '90s series, a teacher and mentor to Fishel's Topanga.
The 98-year-old actor even made a cameo at the start of the performance, standing in front of an office study set before Fishel and Pashkov danced their way on to the stage. At the end of their jive, the pair returned to the desk on set where Daniels held up a paper graded A+, E! News reports.

Fishel honored the beloved actor before the dance, explaining the impact he has had on her career.
"I don't think I would have been the professional that I am today without being able to have watched him all those years," she said. "It's been over 30 years since we met, and I know how proud he is of me. He really means a lot to me."
Daniels returned the heartfelt sentiment in a pre-taped interview, saying, "I'm very proud of Danielle for all she's doing. It's a pleasure watching you."
The actress, 44, teased the performance on a recent episode of her Danielle with the Stars podcast.
"He's such an inspiration to so many of us," she said. "And to be able to say thank you to him and to give him this platform for him to receive the love that he deserves is going to be very memorable."
