A statement from NBC’s streaming service states, “when the show picks up with Lisa, she is thriving with a successful career in fashion.”
As Yahoo notes, the ”Saved by the Bell” revival will bring on a new flock of students to the halls of Bayside High, including many who were displaced after a controversial shutdown of low-income high schools by Governor Zack Morris. Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski), Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater), and Elizabeth Berkley ( Jessie Spano) were all previously announced to be returning for the new show. The only original cast member not confirmed for an appearance on the new Saved by the Bell is Dustin Diamond.
The news is great for SBTB fans and especially Lark who previously expressed that she was hurt at the time of the first big announcement about a revival.
“I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the Saved by the Bell reunion, as well as other cast members’ events,” Voorhies said in during an appearance on the Dr. Oz Show back in February. “Yet of course, I also realized that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision.” The actor was previously diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder.
