  • Scott first raised the issue in January 2023 on Strong’s Pod Meets World rewatch podcast, recalling how Strong pushed away his hug and gave him a puzzled look during the Season 2 finale shoot.
  • Strong apologized upon hearing Scott’s account, assuring him that the moment had left no lasting mark and helping Scott move past the interaction.
  • The actor said it took him two decades to overcome his nervousness on set, a struggle he discussed alongside the Boy Meets World reconciliation.
