So what ever happened to the beloved cast of Saved by the Bell? Is Zach Morris still the Tom Crusie hunk? Is A.C. Slater still a macho pig? Did Screech ever make it with fashion guro Lisa Powers? Did Kelly Kapowski break any more boys' hearts? Did Jessie ever go to Stanford?
These are all questions that so many Saved by the Bell fans wonder. The American Teen Drama originally aired between 1989 and 1993 but many of its fans still can catch a glimpse of their favorite show on TBS in the wee hours of the morning. The show became a popular part of culture and society as many references were made pertaining to the show. For instance, cell phones in the early 90s were referred to as “Zach Morris phones.” There have been several more references to the show in other pop culture shows and movies, such as the 2008 movie, Superbad, in which Jonah Hill is talking about the girl that he likes and mentions that one of her ex-boyfriends looked like Zach Morris. The question is however, where is the cast now?
Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) After “Saved by the Bell,” no one seemed more poised for stardom than Zack Morris himself, Mark-Paul Gosselaar. But for Gosselaar, stardom proved harder to come by than his well-known popularity at Bayside High. Since Saved by the Bell, Gosselaar has appeared on shows like “NYPD Blue”, “Commander in Chief”, and “John from Cincinnati.” He has an upcoming gig on TNT’s new legal drama, “Raising the Bar.”
Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) Thiessen had a rather successful career after the last bell rung at Bayside. She joined the cast of “90210”, even dating one of its stars, Brian Austin Green. She made appearances on a few cancelled shows, including “What About Brian.”
Samuel “Screech” Powers (Dustin Diamond) Screech has been very known on the pop culture radar. His most recent stint was on the “Celebrity Fit Club.” It seems like Screech will always be popping around in the pop culture scene.
Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies) Voorhies ended her fashion career at the doors of Bayside and went on to appear in daytime soaps. She has not made many television appearances, but will be starring in an upcoming flick, “The Next Hit.” She also has plans to release her new single, “Saturday” in 2009
Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) As we all know, Berkley tried to shed her good girl high school image that was often portrayed at Bayside by shedding her clothes with a role in the movie flop, “Showgirls.” She disappeared for about a decade, although made some appearances in movies, such as “The First Wive’s Club.” She is now hosting Bravo’s first season of “Step Up and Dance” in which she advises wayward schoolgirls.
A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) After appearing on “Dancing with the Stars” it seems as though Lopez was able to re-launch his career. He is now a host on MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew” and has been noted as People’s Hottest Bachelors.

Even though they are all grown up, the cast of Saved by the Bell will continue to be on the minds of the kids that grew up with the gang and had dreams of attending Bayside High.
