1. Why did Kelly and Jessie leave the show and replaced with Tori?

2. Did Kelly and Jessie end up coming back to the show since they had them graduate or did they record that episode before the episodes with Tori?

3. How come they never had Kelly, Jessie, and Tori all together in any of the episodes?

4. How come they didn't have Tori graduate with Kelly, Jessie, and the rest of the gang in the last episode?

1. The show was supposed to be cancelled, but at the last minute they got an extra 11-episode order, but the actors playing Kelly and Jessie already committed to other things and had left the show.

2. That graduation episode was recorded before the episodes with Tori.

3. Because Kelly and Jessie quit and then when they got the extra episodes order, Tori was added to have an extra female character alongside Lisa.

4. That episode was filmed before any Tori episodes.

If you go on Wikipedia or other websites and look at the production code of each episode, you'll see that all the Tori episodes were produced last. On NBC, they just rejiggered things for airing purposes so it wouldn't seem watered-down for 11 weeks with no Kelly or Jessie.

I appreciate you explaining all of that. It makes perfect sense. Thank You!

The actresses, who played both Kelly and Jessie, made the right move committed to other things and had left the show because:

1.) They will both not get forced to guest appear in both that horrible Saved By The Bell: The New Class sitcom and its Saved By The Bell: The New Class episode "Goodbye Bayside (Part 2)".

2.) If they were forced to guest appear in both that horrible Saved By The Bell: The New Class sitcom and its Saved By The Bell: The New Class episode "Goodbye Bayside (Part 2)", then they both would each suffer a dangerous divorce.
