What ever happened to Mr. Turner?
So, I've be watching the marathon of Boy Meets World on MTV2 and just realized that after the episode, "Cult Fiction," Mr. Turner was never seen again. Whatever happened to him/ the actor? Do you think the show should have kept him on?
Just a heads up, MTV2 runs at least 4 episodes of BMW most days.
No one knows, but the episode when they're about to graduate they see Minkus. They ask where Minkus has been and Minkus says he's been down the other hallway and looks off in the distance. Shawn and Cory look like like they get goosebumps (at the thought of going over there). Then Minkus says something along the lines of "Hey Mr Turner, wait up!"
Yep this is what happened. It's kinda of strange because the season finale of the previous season concludes with Mr. Turner in the hospital as a result of a serious motorcycle accident. I wish they kept him longer in the following seasons, especially because of his huge impact on Shawn.
This. He is certainly alive, my guess is he just didn't want to be on the show anymore.

In response to your second edit there is actually an episode based on that premise.
'That part of the school' represented the hereafter. Mr Turner died in that motorbike accident, and Minkus must have died off screen between series' 1 and 2.
No one fucking knows.
He got into a horrible motorcycle accident at the end of season 5 with this big heartfelt episode where it all but fades to black and leaves you wondering what the hell happened to the man. Season six starts up and they just pretend it never even happened. Either he ate pavement so hard he died or...I don't know. It's maddening.
Cracked actually did an article about it.

I think if he were dead, they would have made a bigger deal about it because he was amazing. I wish they would have clarified.
since I saw every episode in random order before I ever saw them in order I never even thought about this. I never realized that the crash was the last we saw of him.
