The 13-year-old Halm shared his sad news on Saturday night, via Twitter. TV mom Danielle Fishel promptly responded.
@TeoHalm Teo, you are an incredible talent and I adore you. You may still call me "mom." —

This leaves Cory and Topanga’s tweenage daughter Riley with just a kid brother, Louis, played by August Maturo.
UPDATE: A Disney Channel rep confirms for TVLine Halm’s departure, explaining: “Various creative changes are often made as a project transitions from pilot to series.”
GMW is set to premiere sometime in 2014.
