Ben Savage, aka Cory Matthews, aka the king of disappearing acts, is still MIA from the Boy Meets World friend group, years after pulling the ol’ Irish goodbye on his former co-stars.

The 44-year-old actor apparently decided one day that group chats, nostalgic reunions, and good old-fashioned friendship just weren’t for him. Instead of breaking up with his Boy Meets World buddies like a normal person (a dramatic text or a “we’ve grown apart” speech, perhaps?), he simply vanished like a magician who doesn’t bother with an encore.

During a recent episode of their Boy Meets World rewatch podcast, Pod Meets World, Will Friedle—who played Cory’s brother Eric—gave an update on their ever-growing game of “Where in the World is Ben Savage?” Spoiler alert: they still have no idea.

“Ben is one of the most important people I’ve ever met in my life, and I can’t stand the fact that he won’t speak to us,” Will vented, probably while staring wistfully out a rainy window. “And that’s what it is: He won’t speak to us.”

As for why Ben decided to exit stage left from his real-life cast friendships, even Will is in the dark. “I can show you the last three years, literally, of messages, and in the middle of a conversation with Ben, he just bailed on me,” he explained. “Ben absolutely one day woke up and said, ‘I don’t want Will in my life,’ and never told me why.”

Was it something they said? Did someone forget to wish him a happy birthday? Did he just decide that texting back is a burden too heavy to bear? The world may never know.

Meanwhile, Rider Strong and Danielle Fishel, who also starred on the show, are equally ghosted—meaning this is less of a one-time “oops, forgot to respond” situation and more of a full-blown Witness Protection Program level of avoidance.

Until further notice, the Pod Meets World crew will just have to keep sending texts into the void, hoping one day their long-lost friend will emerge from the shadows. But for now, Ben Savage remains the Bigfoot of the Boy Meets World universe—rumored to exist, but never actually spotted in the wild.
