Elizabeth Berkley Lauren Talks Dustin Diamond Tribute In New ‘Saved by the Bell’ Season

[@jarodcarnarvon5198]

Elizabeth is really a sweet kind hearted girl. RIP Screech, you are missed.

[@mikebennett146]

Always had a crush on Elizabeth Berkley and still do. BEAUTY PIE!!!!

[@amymeanor8879]

Rest in peace dustin dimond

[@monimarz]

Elizabeth Berkley is beautiful. I wish showgirls wasn't met with such harsh criticism. Her ability to laugh at herself in season 2 shows a lot of grace and maturity.

[@AnimationNation2004]

Every star has their flop and Showgirls was hers. I’m just happy it didn’t ruin her career I mean she’s still working as this show proves. I can’t think of a star that has done nothing but great projects.

[@amymeanor8879]

Saved by the bell will never be the same

[@chrismulwee4911]

Elizabeth Berkley is truly a sweet, and compassionate person. Watching reruns of the original series, it seems that even though she was called "Jessie", Liz was really playing herself.

[@williamm9305]

Elizabeth was my crush 🥰 she still looks amazing

[@gemdavey]

what a beautiful/classy woman! Very well spoken as well.

[@ladycairixoxo7910]

I loved the flashback episode was good seeing the original cast and remembering the classic things they did. I hope Jesse gets with slater in the end! I wanna see some true love!

[@veganman1766]

Under the original episodes of Saved by the Bell Elizabeth didn't have a gap in her teeth now she does

[@seekinghimdaily92]

Facts…. I was thrown off by that. 💯

[@melissahouse3488]

Who would even notice!? She's stunning!!!

[@jimmierev4220]

Dust Diamond said he hadn't talked to the cast since he was 16 sad how nobody kept in touch except for Mario

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

and lark

[@benschlechter]

Dennis Haskins reportedly kept in touch with him.

[@Irishgui83]

I'm loving the old gang back together (minus Screech). Lisa seems to fit right back in.

[@adu1991]

Ehhh...now that Dustin Diamond is gone and the rest of the cast never really made up with him, they'll never have a true reunion.

[@brentamania89]

The OGs we're there yeah where was Dustin come on we all make mistakes no one is perfect it say nice things after he's gone

[@thebatmanwhoposts9600]

Elizabeth is still gorgeous.

[@Dem0nD0ll]

I didn’t think she could get prettier. This interview proved me wrong 😊

[@jonnyfendi2003]

not with that gap...wtf happened to her teeth

[@thebatmanwhoposts9600]

@@jonnyfendi2003 huh, did you tape a pic of your mother to the screen?

[@benschlechter]

I wonder why Dennis Haskins aka Mr. Belding wasn't involved?

[@robertrangiuia2613]

I had a crush on her.

[@gwinyaidhliwayo4878]

Elizabeth you look great🙏💝1!$

[@VDRP]

I always thought Elizabeth and the cast didn't like Dustin since didn't he sue them?

[@marciemarch419]

I wonder why they named him Max instead of Zack Junior

[@willow_8842]

every Saturday morning _ I was watching!!!1991- bye???

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Ite crazy how they like... brought Mario lopez's looks *down* compared to how he really looks.

[@willow_8842]

Elizabeth is ...was_ the most beautiful!!!! bye???

[@reitzcollings1024]

Never more beautiful than she was in the L Word. But still absolutely gorgeous.

"Reimagining" is just a fancy way to say reboot.

[@zackattack8433]

A reboot is coming back with the original cast and picking up… a reimagining is what they did… all new characters and the main focus isn’t on the original cast.

[@Irishgui83]

@@zackattack8433 but is it not them picking up with the original cast and having a new younger cast too? I thought a reimagining would be like having the original gang (characters) played by the new kids but with differing storylines?

[@Mai2727]

It's not a reboot because it doesn't discard continuity. But it's not a reimagining either. I'd say it's a revival or a sequel show.

[@menahobs4537]

It's a reboot.

[@pattyfigueroa5609]

Solo quería ver

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It’s crazy how she looks better now than almost 30 years ago.

[@dsrgreen29]

Make up

[@blazeken00]

well no, im sorry but no

[@alexgat2989]

They killed dustin diamond so they can do save by the bell marathons for a reason with a feelings 😩

[@MaverickSteffen]

It always bothered me that Dustin never took responsibility for his actions. Even as a grown man, he blamed other people for “taking advantage of him” for the book he authored. Unfortunately the world will always see him as Screech, and I think that gave him a permanent inferiority complex.

[@frosty2975]

He did apologized for it for that whole book incident. The cast just never forgave him except for mario Lopez.

[@MaverickSteffen]

@@frosty2975 He didn’t really apologize. He basically said he was sorry people “took advantage of him” and wrote that book. That’s not an apology, that’s an excuse.

[@roccoz2231]

Well-said. Dustin never showed any accountability, and he carried that Screech complex to the grave. In life, he always tried to over-compensate for it with all of his ridiculous publicity stunts, such as that book. It's no surprise that his former cast-mates wanted nothing to with him, but I understand why they all have to tow the line now that he's dead. Still, Liz poured the sentiment on a little too thick in this video.

[@ardakkumerian8088]

At least Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park was a worse film than Showgirls.

[@kayleena.7708]

Holy botox

[@gigiarmany4332]

yep😒

[@lostammo9026]

Show girls is a good movie it was way ahead of its time look at Jennifer lopez she did one show girls came out in the wrong white world generation..

[@blazeken00]

Glad this show got cancelled

[@tyrushusky2474]

Well I'm not and also you spell Blaziken wrong
