Voorhies said on The Dr. Oz Show that her mental health struggles might have played a role in her not being asked to join the Peacock sequel series. "I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the Saved by the Bell reunion as well as other cast members' events, yet of course, I also realized that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision," she said in reading an excerpt from her diary.

I had not heard of this. I would rather watch the original show than a sequel where the original cast are teachers or parents of a bunch of teenage kids.

I don't think she feels anything. She's so obviously being coached to say everything she says in that clip....

I do feel bad she wasn't invited, but no one knows if she is really doing well and a studio is not gonna want to deal with it.

Probably true.

She ended up doing a cameo.

I haven’t seen It yet. Was she in present day or flashback?

[–] janelsenor (2044) 4 years ago

A few flashbacks and one present day cameo. She did good for the little spot she had. Seemed just like Lisa was back.
