How has Rider Strong only done 7 episodes if he married Maya's mom?


Wouldn't Shawn be part of the ensemble cast?

It would be weird to think he's there and not seen..?

How often do you see Maya's mom?

Where are the Asian characters DC CW?

reply

I don't see her at all because I don't watch tv

I grew up when BMW was on tv though so that's why I'm curious and was asking

I just found out about his storyline last night via youtube

We don't see either one of them but I don't know if we would see Rider if we saw Maya's mom though.

He's very infrequently on the show. They brought him in to initially be a father figure to Maya (he takes her out and buys her all new clothes), and then he started dating Maya's mother (none of which was actually shown in the show), then the two get married and neither has been seen since. They rarely show Maya's mom on the show either, which made sense in the beginning because she was supposed to be a bit of a flake who wasn't really there for Maya. But now she has supposedly matured and become a better mother, and Shawn is supposed to be this amazing father figure for Maya, but Cory and Topanga are still shown as being the main parental figures in her life. It's strange to me.

This is even worse in the last episode when Riley runs away to "move in" with Maya, and Shawn/Katy aren't there to sort of say something to Riley!

They're not back from Fiji yet.

Ah, that could be it.

The show just isn't about the Boy Meets World characters. They are just the backstory. The focus of the show is Riley and her parents and her friends.

Riley and her parents and her friends.
You forgot Augie and his wife...

I read in these boards early in the series, GGuser, that Rider Strong did not want to play Shawn regularly, so that's why only two or three appearances each season. He has directed β€” solo and with his brother β€” many more GMW episodes, however.

Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.
