Some of the '90s show's stars appeared to confirm the possibility at a Fan Expo
With reboots of 'Beverly Hills 90210', 'Will & Grace', 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and 'Roseanne' occupying space on our viewing schedule in recent times, we've been revelling in 1990s nostalgia.
However, there's one '90s TV show reunion that we've been holding out for – and now it looks like it might really be happening.
The cast of 'Saved by the Bell' have come together on the odd occasion over the past decade or so, but none of them would be drawn on whether a reboot of the high school show was ever really on the cards.
Now, however, several of them appeared on a 'Saved by the Bell' panel at FAN EXPO Canada in Toronto and seemed to confirm that the ball was moving on a reboot.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, aka Zack Morris, said: “There’s talks, there’s always talks. I just heard recently there’s talks”, while Elizabeth Berkeley (Jessie Spano) and Mario Lopez (AC Slater) confirmed it.
Lopez said: ‘Obviously we couldn’t be in high school still, so you’d have to be creative with the premise. But it's fun to think about. And who knows? You never say never.”
'Saved by the Bell' originally ran from 1989 to 1993 and ended after four seasons when they graduated. A sequel 'Saved by the Bell: The College Years' and 'Saved by the Bell: The New Class' (the latter with an entirely new cast) ran in subsequent years.
However, not every original cast member has enjoyed a smooth ride after the show; Dustin Diamond aka Screech spent several months in prison for carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct in 2015, while neither Tiffany Amber Thiessen (aka Kelly Kapowski) not Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle) have acted in recent years.
But it's good news, overall – they'd just better not touch the theme tune in any potential remake. All together now... 'When I wake up in the morning and the alarm gives out a warning, I don't think I'll ever make it on time...'
