AceShowbiz - Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga Lawrence, recalled being called into a meeting with showrunners who informed her that her extra pounds would be incorporated into an episode. She was surprised by the situation as she felt her weight gain was not significant. Fishel expressed that she would have been hesitant to refuse the storyline, even if she had been given the option.

Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews, initially seemed indifferent to the idea but later confided in Fishel that he was insecure and hurt by the decision. Fishel noted that despite feeling pressured to agree, the experience left her with lingering thoughts about her body image.

Candace Cameron Bure, who played D.J. Tanner on "Full House," shared a contrasting experience. She explained that when she lost a significant amount of weight, the producers approached her and her parents to discuss the possibility of writing an episode about it. She ultimately agreed as they presented the idea with sensitivity.

The incident highlights the complexities of navigating weight-related issues in the entertainment industry. Fishel and Friedle's experiences illustrate the potential for discomfort and pressure when physical appearance becomes a public topic.
