Hold up! Where is Zack Morris, you ask? The popular fourth wall-breaking student has apparently landed himself a job as California governor, though Mark-Paul Gosselaar won’t be appearing much in the series except for in a recurring role. But Berkley Lauren and Lopez should be able to serve up plenty of nostalgia, as their characters still inexplicably hang around Bayside High — Slater works as the gym teacher at Bayside, chaperoning a dance and reminiscing about his own high school glory days, while Jessie looks to be a teacher or counselor of sorts, who specializes in warning students of the dangers of caffeine pills.
In the new series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the most well-funded schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the privileged Bayside kids (who never have a problem that can’t be solved in twenty-two minutes) a much-needed dose of reality.
