Saved By The Bell's Zack and Kelly Are Divorced Now

It seems not every ’90s TV couple is destined to end up like Full House‘s Becky and Jesse, or even Boy Meets World‘s Cory and Topanga.

During a recent interview with Saved by the Bell executive producer Peter Engel, TVLine learned that Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski — Bayside High School’s class couple of 1993, who went on to elope in Las Vegas just one year after graduation — simply weren’t built to last.

“Probably not,” Engel said when asked if Zack and Kelly would still be married today. “Well, they’d be married — but not to each other.”

Once you’ve processed that revelation, here’s a rundown of where Engel thinks each member of the Bayside Six (sorry, Tori!) would be today:
Zack would probably be the host of a game show or talk show, or he’d be managing a hedge fund; Slater would be a high school football coach; Screech would be Bill Gates; Jessie would have just lost to Donald Trump; Lisa would probably be Vera Wang, or a buyer at Neiman Marcus; and Kelly would be married with children and have a cooking show on the Food Network, which [Tiffani Thiessen] has — and I watch!

Okay, that's interesting I guess.

I don't know if Saved By the Bell fanfiction exists, but if it does, Engel probably just wrecked it all.

Word of God is not necessarily canon until proven on screen, not that I care and there's fanfiction for everything so I'm sure there's plenty.

And here I thought this was the premise of a new show ala Fuller House.

It wouldn't work since there's a lot of bad blood between the show and Screech. Even if you got the rest of the cast to reprise their role (like they did in that Jimmy Fallon sketch) it'd be weird seeing him being recast.

No no, they are still together

it's not true I tell ya. It's not unless officially written

But seriously a continuation could work. Neither of the Olsen twins returned to Fuller House right? So Screech being away wouldn't be a huge deal especially if it focused more on thier family/families like Girl Meets World.

What would be a cool name? Saved by the....?

Oh Hell no! This was one of my favorites 90s couples, what's wrong Saved by the Bell people want attention so they think destroying a fan favorite couple would do it? Screw them, I'm just going to ignore them.

I now officially hate reviving old shows, all they do is ruine fan favorite pairings. I'm surprised Fuller House didn't have Rebecca and Jessie get a divorce. What I would have done, instead of Danny getting a new young woman is have him and Vicky finally get together, Joey find love and have kids. For some reason the Fuller House people felt Joey should remain alone forever and never grow up.

Of course in the real world a couple of 19 year old teenagers, with their whole lives still ahead of them, wouldn't still be married more than 20 years later. But this isn't the real world, this is the world of Saved By The Bell. And in that world, Zack and Kelly lived happily ever after. Or at least they did as far as I'm concerned.

The only thing I dislike about Fuller House is Jessie and Becky's sons being ditzy surfer dude archetypes wanting to run a taco van or whatever numb-skull idea they had.
