\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tPhillip Faraone\/WireImage; Al Zeta\/Getty Images Mark-Paul Gosselaar isn\u2019t proud of everything his Saved by the Bell character, Zack Morris, had to do on the teen sitcom.\u00a0 \u201cIn terms of story lines, there was one where I was basically whoring out Lisa Turtle [played by Lark Voorhies] to charge people to kiss her without her consent,\u201d [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cOn Good Morning, Miss Bliss<\/em>, I was just glad to have a job. It was a long seven-audition process,\u201d Haskins told Parade<\/em> in 2013. \u201cI was in. I was out. And then, finally at the last minute, I got it. We were just happy to be working. We weren\u2019t thinking in terms of how long we were going to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cOne day [producer] Peter Engel<\/strong> came on the stage and said, \u2018Ladies and gentlemen, Disney has chosen not to go on with the project. There\u2019s a slight chance ABC will do something, but I just wanted to thank everybody.\u2019 And then I started hearing things,\u201d he recalled. \u201cThe prop guy came up to me and said, \u2018Hey, Dennis. They just told us to save the sets.\u2019 I found out that I was going on to Saved by the Bell<\/em> because NBC had bought the rights to four characters, by the wardrobe guy telling me, \u2018They told me to save your suits,\u2019 and giving me a big thumbs up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
