Where are they now…Saved by the Bell
- by Hayles
How many times have you had that conversation with your mates about those TV shows which marked your childhood? The likes of Postman Pat, Captain Buckey O’Hare and Thunderbirds are always mentioned.
Then there’s another show that’s in a league of its own… ‘Saved by the Bell’! But, have you ever wondered what those guys are doing now? The show consisted of 6 main Characters: Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, Albert Clifford ‘A.C’ Slater, Samuel ’screech’ Powers, Lisa Turtle and Jessie Spano
Zack Morris aka Mark-Paul Gosselaar
The heart – throb of the show! When I visited Disney, Florida in 2000 I was convinced that the guy dressed up as Phoebus from the ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ was Zack! However I have come to realise that I was perhaps wrong. Mark-Paul, has worked loads since Saved by the Bell, but is probably best known for his role in NYPD Blue. He can most recently be seen in a US drama called ‘Commander in Chief.
Kelly Kapowski aka Tiffani Thiessen
As Gareth is sitting here saying… ’she’s hot’. This is who I wanted to be! She was stunning and she was with Zack, what more could you want from life! Since Saved by the Bell she’s been in various TV series, including ‘Two guys a girl and Pizza Place’, and ‘Beverly Hills’. Most recently she’s started up her own production company.
AC Slater aka Mario Lopez
The on-off boyfriend of Jessie, and the enemy turned friend to Zack. Now a presenter on ESPN Hollywood and also in the soap The Bold and Beautiful.
Screech Powers aka Dustin Diamond
Screech = legend! I always felt really sorry for him, constantly being turned down by Lisa, he never learnt! Dustin hasn’t really done huge amounts apart from ‘Saved by the Bell’. He was in ‘Saved by the Bell: The College years’ and then went on to be in ‘Saved by the Bell: The New Class’… yer we won’t mention that, such a disappointment.
Lisa Turtle aka Lark Voorhies
I do share Lisa’s love for fashion, love those leggings and high waisted jeans! Lark has been in a few American TV soaps and also was in Star Trek! Most recently she’s making a new film.
Jessie Spano aka Elizabeth Berkley
The feminist, and the object of Slater’s attention. Since ‘Saved by the Bell’, she’s probably best known for her role in the film ‘Showgirls’, but she’s been in loads of other one of shows. Most recently making a guest performance in ‘Law and Order’.
So that’s where they are now…
