Saved by the Bell cast

Saturday night proved to be a memorable one for the stars of Saved by the Bell. It’s been nearly 30 years since the hit sitcom aired on TV, and to celebrate the good ol’ years, teen heartthrob Mario Lopez, who played AC Slater, met up with some of the cast members – including Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffani Amber Thiessen. The actor took to Instagram to share an epic photo of the party of eight which includes the actors of Bayside High and their significant others out for dinner. “Friends forever,” he wrote.

The teen sitcom aired on NBC from 1989 to 1993

When it was her turn, Courtney yells, “I’m having a baby!” while revealing her growing baby bump. “We are adding to the team,” Mario said. “We’re going to be a party of five." As for what they’re having, the family is still not sure. "We don’t know what we’re having. If it’s going to be a boy or a girl,” he said.
