It looks like Lark Voorhies will be starring in the ‘Saved By The Bell’ reboot after all.
Full story below…
As reported, the actress’ name and character Lisa Turtle were noticeably missing from the cast sheet when it was first announced that the classic 90s show was being revived for a fresh incarnation on new streamer Peacock.
A fact Voorhies publicly bemoaned.
Well, it would appear her words and fan demand did the trick. Because, she announced moments ago that she will indeed feature in the show when it premieres on November 25.
Taking to social media, she said:
SURPRISE! Lisa Turtle is getting back together with her Bayside High fam! The countdown is on so mark your calendars!
November 25 on @PeacockTV
**************
We’re elated for Voorhies, especially after how openly she’s spoken about her health struggles. This is great news on many fronts.
The new chapter of ‘Saved By The Bell’ also brings with the return of originals Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, Mark Paul Gosselaar, andTiffani Amber Thiessen.
Peep the trailer:
lark should be a freak after school just dont mess up will smiths big night they are ready ripping s*** up in philly
Yaay! I might just watch it now
I would want to know that they all apologized to her before I attempt to watch this horrible reboot. Lark was shunned and shut out of cast reunions because of a mental illness they didn’t understand. Lark laid everything bare about her mental health on Dr. Oz so people would stop making assumptions about her. She should not have had to do that. The real fans told Peacock “No Lisa, no reboot.” You would think the former co-stars she worked with everyday would have taken the same stand from the beginning.
Love her
Yup, they knew they were wrong as 2 left shoes leaving her out?! Mental health issues or not… she’s the only woman of color on that show. Represented many young ladies like myself that were the “token” black girl..with attitude and some more! Lol
Guess that Dr. Oz segment made them come to grips with it all?!
Congrats ms. Turtle!
Isnt she nuts?
