Question Why did Max Battimo and Heather Hopper leave after "Good Morning Miss Bliss"?

Did they quit themselves or were they kicked off the show because they wanted new people on the show?

My guess is because they didn't fit the California setting

This old article about Max Battimo makes it sound like they were both kicked off the show.

Aw, that's a shame that he was so hurt by his job ending that he told his parents he didn't want to be in acting anymore. But if he's playing hockey now I bet he has a much better career.



I watched one of these episodes the other night. Didn't tape them on purpose but rather my DVR taped it because of Hailey Mills. I liked her as a teacher but it was crazy how different the show became when they added Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffany Amber Theiessen.

I heard somewhere that Heather Hopper was supposed to return for Saved by the Bell, but was let go after her mother demanded a bigger pay cut or something like that. Can anyone verify this?

As for Max Battimo, there seems to be no apparent reason. Maybe they thought Mario Lopez was a better fit, so they replaced Mikey with Slater.

Not quite, TVFactFan. You might think why they have their own idea, but it turns out it was too soonly hurried to include him on the first place. Not only he’s considered dangerously difficult to his cast mates, his cast mates are also dangerously difficult to him, at the same time. Plus, did you noticed right now, that there have to many multiple discrimination fraud incident types occurring in original crew member group, especially the bad relationship between Engel and Bobrick recently also?

I do not know what Miss Hopper is doing right now but I am glad Mr. Battimo is doing well now

I couldn't imagine Saved by the Bell without Screech, to honest. Even though the new reboot series won't have him.
