Was There A Reason For Belding's/Tori's Absence At The Reunion Photo Shoot?

[Gemini_89]

I alway wondered why Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) wasn't at the reunion photo shoot? Didn't anybody ask him? Didn't anybody care? If so, then i hope there was a good reason why he couldn't make it.

And what about Tori (Leana Creel)? Even though she was only in a few episodes towards season 4, she was STILL part of the SBTB gang regardless. Didn't anybody care enough to ask her? I hope there was a good reason on why she couldn't make it either.

I would love to see BOTH of them appear on the televised reunion. That would be GREAT!

More importantly, why wasn't Dustin Diamond there? He's one of the four "original" originals. It's no secret to us fans that Dustin wants nothing to do with "Screech" these days, but it was ONLY a photo shoot. Does he have that much going on at the moment, or is he really that much of an ass?

I too am shocked that Dennis Haskins wasn't there. Maybe People Magazine only wanted to focus on the core group of kids?

I would never expect Leana Creel to have involvement in anything Saved By The Bell related ever again. She was ok on the show, but I'm sure her episodes were the least liked among the fans (and the general public). Honestly, is Tori the first character to pop into your head when someone mentions Saved By The Bell? As sad as it is to say, she was the "filler" character and she's long forgotten.

What's this about a televised reunion???

While Mr. Belding was a nice addition to the show, I never considered him to be a vital part of it. The five kids WERE the show. It's disappointing to see that Screech wasn't included. But I'm not surprised I wouldn't want to be associated with him if I were the other four.

I thought about him first (of course), but you basically answered your own quesion on why he wouldn't be in the photoshoot:

I'm sure his tell-all book about the cast, "Behind The Bell" have a lot to do with him NOT participating in the reunion photoshoot. Plus, he talked a lot of shyt about the cast. So i wasn't surprised to not see him there, dissapointed? yes, surprised? no.

What was People Magazine thinking?? Dennis was there from the beginning, like you said, he was one of the 4 original characters for crying out loud!! He was there longer than some of the main cast members! He's just as much as a part of the SBTB gang too! And to exclude him out was just wrong.

On Jimmy Fallon, i think that he still wants to do a televised reunion where the gang makes an appearance on his show.
