World, meet Girl! Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Topanga Lawrence-Matthews (Danielle Fishel) “have a beautiful, new daughter,” according to Savage’s latest tweet. EW dropped the exclusive last night that 11-year-old Rowan Blanchard will be playing Riley Matthews in the “Boy Meets World” spin-off show “Girl Meets World.”

If you’ve been watching the series since the beginning and have seen every episode at least a billion times to the point where you can quote it (“DUCKIES!” “You’re Cory, I’m Shawn, just like it’s always been.” “They WANT you to take the rolls!”)—oh wait, is that just me?—then you’re either jumping with joy and excitement or biting your fingernails with dread that the Disney Channel will ruin a good (great, incredible, AMAZING) thing. I’m in between. What about you?

Fallon Prinzivalli’s (@iamqueenfal) back-up plan is to be Kellan Lutz’s trophy wife.
