Zack Morris (1988-1994)
<b>Then:</b> Zack Morris, Bayside High's resident heartthrob, was behind every scheme and shenanigan of the show's four-season run. Through girl drama, detention and even an imaginary band called Zack Attack, Zack was the kind of friend you could always call on ... if you had a giant cell phone, of course.

Kelly Kapowski (1989-1994)
<b>Then:</b> Head cheerleader, captain of all the sports teams and object of Zack Morris' affections, every girl wanted to be Kelly and every guy wanted to be with her. She had a thing for older men, but eventually settled down with Zack, marrying him in <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/saved-by-the-bell-wedding-in-las-vegas/996846/main' target='_blank'>'Saved By the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas.'</a>

She got married in 2005.

A.C. Slater (1988-1994)
<b>Then:</b> It takes a buff wrestling-team jock to make a name like Albert Clifford cool. A.C. Slater spent six years flashing his dimples, calling Zack "preppy" and getting lovin' from his mama, Jessie. But don't let that tough-guy exterior fool you: Slater had a heart of gold.

Jessie Spano (1989-1993)
<b>Then:</b> Bookworm Jessie Spano had her fair share of melodramatic teen obstacles, from those feminist battles with her main man Slater and competitions to get the best SAT score to a studying-induced addiction to caffeine pills, which left her <a href='http://video.aol.com/video-detail/saved-by-the-bell/2785600822' target='_blank'>so excited and so ... scared</a>.

Lisa Turtle (1989-1993)
<b>Then:</b> The <i>original</i> gossip girl, Lisa had the scoop on who was dating whom, the latest fashion trends and where the party was (if The Max was closed). Sandwiched between Screech's unrequited love and Zack's infatuation with Kelly, Lisa was unfortunately relegated to the role of asexual fashionista.

Screech Powers (1989-1999)
<b>Then:</b> With a squeaky voice, curly hair and clashing fluorescent-hued wardrobe, Screech was the ultimate geek (remember his robot Kevin?), but he managed to become class valedictorian -- beating Jessie by just a fraction of a point -- and the very first <i>Mister</i> Miss Bayside.

Principal Richard Belding (1988-1999)
<b>Then:</b> Mr. Belding carefully balanced his duties as school principal with his goofball nature -- he might've been the most gullible guy around, but he loved those students, famously reminding them that the last three letters in "principal" spell "pal."

Leon Carosi (1991-1992)
<b>Then:</b> Mr. Carosi's "Like yeast, we rise to the occasion!" mantra proved true when he made peace with troublemaker Zack, who dated his daughter Stacey. <b>Now:</b> Ernie has been voicing <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/the-lion-king/1020021/main' target='_blank'>'Lion King'</a> warthog Pumbaa since 1994 and is currently on Broadway in 'Curtains.'

Max (1989-1990)
<b>Then:</b> When that titular bell rang at the end of each school day, it was a safe bet that you'd find Zack, Kelly, Slater, Jessie, Screech and Lisa at The Max.
