Saved By The Bell - The Reunion & Dustin Diamond's Tell Tale Book

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm sure most people have heard about the talks of a possible Saved By The Bell TV Reunion and a couple of months ago Mark Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Voorhies and Dennis Haskins had agreed to the reunion. Tiffani Thiessen recently announced that she would not do the reunion, but chances are she could be persuaded as she appeared in the People Magazine Saved By The Bell reunion photoshoot alongside Gosselaar, Lopez, Berkley and Voorhies.
Dennis Haskins and Dustin Diamond however were shunned by their fellow castmembers and were not invited for the photoshoot;

This could possibly rule out Haskins returning for any reunion and Diamond definitely will not be involved in any reunion, as his upcoming book "Behind the Bell" will reveal all the behind the scenes secrets from the original series, the College Years and the New Class.

So, what are people's thoughts on all this? I can understand them shunning Diamond for the photoshoot as he's pretty much selling them all out in his book and he never really got on all that well with the cast or crew, but I feel a bit bad for Haskins. It's a bit scabby that he didn't get asked back.
Despite the fact that Dustin Diamond has been an absolute a-hole for the last couple of years, I'm still gonna be getting my hands on a copy of that book. Even if not all the stories are true, I'm sure it'd be a good read. Anyone else gonna be purchasing the book?

Dustin Dimond is a twat. I read a few articles on the book and it's completely made up apparently. He's just trying to find another way to get himself out of bankruptcy and writing fake stories on his co-stars in the making. Pretty low if you ask me. The book was even dropped by its first publishers due to lack of truth in it.

Why bother? It'll be an absolute load of tabloid-level garbage. TBH, even if any of the stories in it were true, I don't give a crap about what the "stars" got up to in real life anyway. I enjoyed the show before it really got milked to death and don't really care what any of the actors did "behind the scenes".

Amen, Belding was a great character.

What's a reunion? A one off show for 30+ yr olds who once were 20 yr olds playing teenagers and are now going to play 20+ yr olds having a reunion ? That'd be weird. I'd rather they did a documentary or something on it.

Diamond's a knob but Haskins seems like a really nice guy. I think he lamented being typecast for so long though.

Meh, I thought that too until he said "If anybody deserved to be on that cover, it was Dennis Haskins". Killed it.

Beldings brother was always cooler anyway. He'd take you white water rafting and get with stewardesses and stuff, not like his stuck up brother...

Give Belding his props. He was a legend in his own right - I learnt so many morals from Haskins' character.
