How Danielle Fishel Still Uses What 'Boy Meets World' Taught Her


Danielle Fishel makes her ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ directorial debut on the season 1 episode ‘Potions Eleven’

“One thing I try to pivot away from that we did a lot on Boy Meets World[is] super fast paced dialogue,” Fishel, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly while discussing her role as director on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’s inaugural season. The episode, titled “Potions Eleven” follows teen wizard Billie ( Janice LeAnn Brown) as she enters mentor Justin Russo’s ( David Henry) mind to figure out what really happened to get him fired from being a professor at WizTech years earlier. The plot line carries over from the OG series’ finale — which starred Henry alongside Selena Gomez, who also reprises her role as Alex Russo — and unveils a secret fans have been curious about since the show’s pilot.
