21 Jessie’s notorious caffeine tablet dependency? Yeah, it was a bit excessive, which’s since she was initially expected to end up being addicted to speed.
“What fans don’t know is that, when I originally wrote the episode with Tom Tenowich, Jessie was hooked on speed, not caffeine pills,” Engel composed in his narrative. “But Standards and Practices, the censorial department of NBC, vetoed it, saying speed was too serious for Saturday mornings.”
Still wishing to check out the severe concern of dependency, in addition to the pressure kids can place on themselves, Engel and Standards and Practices ultimately jeopardized on caffeine tablets.
22 In 2009, Diamond made headings when he released a tell-all book about the program and his previous co-stars called Behind the Bell (which would end up being the source product for Lifetime’s The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story in 2014). In the narrative, he made accusations of steroid usage, hook-ups and other off-camera shenanigans, the majority of which were unmasked by the cast. “Everything that I’ve heard about his book is negative and I don’t remember those things,” Gosselaar informed E! News at the time.
While the remainder of the cast had actually stayed close for many years, Diamond lost touch and his tell-all was the last straw, with the star being neglected of their reunion for the 20 th anniversary established by People publication in 2009.
