The new Saved by the Bell might not be able to afford a Stacey Carosi flashback, but what about Stacey Carosi in the flesh?

During the Peacock revival’s Season 2 finale, which dropped Wednesday, a montage of never-before-seen Jessie/Slater moments — more on that College Years scene here — culminates in Slater referencing Leah Remini’s beloved character from the Og series’ Malibu Sands arc. Shortly thereafter, Douglas transplant DeVante tells girlfriend Nadia that he’d love to remain at Bayside for “two more years, and maybe even spend a summer at a beach club.”

Saved by the Bell will acknowledge the death of original series star Dustin Diamond, as the Bayside class of ’93 gathers to mourn the loss of Samuel “Screech” Powers.

In a new interview with Variety, executive producers Tracey Wigfield and Franco Bario confirm that the Peacock revival will pay tribute to both Diamond and his beloved character in the Season 2 premiere (releasing Nov. 24; watch trailer), in a scene that reunites his former costars Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris), Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski-Morris), Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater), Elizabeth Berkley Lauren (Jessie Spano) and Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle).

Tori Spelling is mourning the loss of her first on-screen love, Saved by the Bell costar Dustin Diamond, who died on Monday at the age of 44.

In 1990, Spelling recurred on Bell as Screech’s girlfriend, Violet Bickerstaff. On Monday, the Beverly Hills, 90210 vet took to Instagram to pay her respects.

The cast of Saved by the Bell is paying tribute to their former costar Dustin Diamond, who died on Monday at the age of 44.

Diamond died after an aggressive battle with Stage 4 lung cancer. In the wake of his passing, former costar Mark-Paul Gosselaar issued the following statement to TVLine:

I’m deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dustin Diamond, a true comedic genius.

Lisa Turtle peels herself away from her lovers (plural) just long enough to grace us with her presence in Peacock’s Saved by the Bell revival. The same can’t be said for her onetime admirer Samuel “Screech” Powers, whose glaring absence is addressed in the big homecoming episode.

Screech was last seen at Bayside more than 20 years ago, around the same time that Saved by the Bell: The New Class was put out of its misery. He’s a no-show for his alma mater’s annual fundraising gala, which brings Zack, Kelly, Slater and Jessie together just long enough...

Before Peacock's Saved by the Bell reboot arrives later this month, we're revisiting how the original series ended! Technically, though, the original Saved by the Bell had a few different "finales," thanks to multiple TV movies and spinoffs. Let's break down exactly where each show left off, and where we bid farewell to the main characters decades ago.

How Did the Original Saved by the Bell End?

The fourth and final season of Saved by the Bell had a major cast change to deal with: NBC unexpectedly ordered more episodes than planned, which required redoing the cast's contracts. Two of the main cast members, Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly) and Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie), were already moving on from the show, so they didn't sign on for the extra episodes. Instead, a new character, Tori (played by Leanna Creel) was created and inserted into the show as if she'd always been there.

Exclusive: Time out! Bayside High is about to take over Peacock. The streaming service is set to launch a new Saved by the Bell channel on November 16 ahead of the reimagining of the classic Saturday morning show, which will debut on November 25.

The channel will available on Peacock for free and include over 100 episodes from the original Saved by the Bell series, Saved by the Bell: The College Years, Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, and Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Vegas. It will be non-stop Bayside fun with Zack, Kelly, Slater, Jessie, Lisa and Screech to keep you satisfied until the revival makes it big premiere.

In the new series, Mark-Paul Gosselaar reprises his role as Zack Morris. His charmingly scheming ways have paved the road for him to become the governor of California. True to Zack Morris form, he is in hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools.

Lisa Turtle’s not-so-secret admirer is, unsurprisingly, unlikely to appear in the Saved by the Bell revival.

Dustin Diamond, who played Samuel “Screech” Powers on the original series, has told TMZ that no one has reached out to him about a role in the highly anticipated follow-up, which is set to premiere on NBCU’s Peacock streaming service later this year.

On Monday, September 1, Lifetime ushered in a new generation of unauthorized biopics with its behind the scenes look at what really happened on the 1990s hit Saved by the Bell. The cast has largely disavowed themselves from the project and/or Dustin Diamond’s scandalous memoir Behind the Bell, and considering that the movie is based on that biography, it’s safe to say most of the things that happened in this movie didn’t really happen that way at all.

But still, we watch. We learn. We cringe. We tweet.
