(Picture courtesy of People)There's been a lot of talk in the press this week about the absence of Dustin Diamond and Dennis Haskins from the recent Saved by the Bell photo shoot. Most people believe it an unforgivable slight by People magazine, but I don't think it's really that dig of a deal. I mean, Dustin Diamond is a prick (I know we're Twitter friends, Double D, but you can't deny you've been acting downright prickish as of late); and have you seen Dennis Haskins lately? Ugh. So, Screech Powers and Mr. Belding didn't make the cut. Big f'ing deal. The rest of the cast, however, has remained attractive and (semi) successful. They're really the only ones I'd want to see in a magazine cover pic anyway.
There is someone else missing though, someone extremely important. Well, that's debatable, I guess, but you can't deny the fact that she took the place of TWO Bayside regulars. That's right, I'm talking about Tori Scott:
Why isn't she in the above snapshot? There's a place right between Zack and Kelly. Did anybody even pick up the phone and call Leanna Creel? Some of the blame belongs to Jimmy Fallon, the evil mastermind behind the whole Bayside reunion thing, but the remaining blame deserves to be split up among the remaining cast members. Who made it possibly for you to graduate early and seek out new acting opportunities, Tiffani Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley? Tori. Who helped you deliver Mrs. Belding's baby when you got stuck in an elevator during that earthquake, Zack? That's right: Tori. She was good enough for Slater and Zack to fight over, but apparently not good enough to be invited back for the 20 year reunion. For shame.
