Linda Cardellini, who played the temptress Lauren in four episodes of Boy Meets World, an American television sitcom that aired on the ABC network from September 24, 1993, to May 5, 2000, told Daily Best in 2013 that she was concerned about fans hating her fictional character.
The first time I ever experienced someone hating something I did on television was on Boy Meets World. I remember these kids coming up to me and calling me a “home-wrecker,” and so I had flashes of that going into my role on Mad Men. I was like, “Are people really going to hate Sylvia because of what she does to Don?” I thought the reactions would be much more vehement, but the reaction is pretty mixed about her.
