Saved by the Bell Season One Recap
Also returning in recurring roles are Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen, who reprise their roles as Bayside's original power couple Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski with Morris as the current governor of California. Original series stars Lark Voorhies and Ed Alonzo also made appearances as Lisa and Max, respectively. The first season found Gov. Morris closing underperforming schools and among them the school Daisy, Aisha, and Devante attended and relocating the displaced students to Bayside. The first season found a path to get the transit students back just as they got to used to Bayside before Gov. Morris stepped in to stop the action. The end of the season also found a potential rekindling between Slater and Jessie. The second season will look to build on those events along with a dedication to late original cast member Dustin Diamond according to Lopez.
