Zack helps Slater to tell his dad about his belief and talks his dad into watching A.C.'s championship wrestling match.

Growing up A.C. states that he moved around a lot and had few friends because of this. He considers Bayside his home, and the Max the hangout of choice. He proves inspriational in saving the Max during a phone telethon to raise money after everyone has fallen asleep.A.C. constantly walks a fine line as he choses his conduct and words in front of his opinionated, feminist girlfriend Jessie Spano.

Screech, is the head of Bayside's insect club, miniature golf club, and chess team. He serves as leader of the "geeks." Screech has known few girlfriends, although his friend Zack tries to help hook him up on many occasions. Zack even invents a secret admirer for Screech and dresses up as a girl to pose as a make believe girlfriend of Screech's. Screech finds one girl, Violet to be his one true love after all his time pursuing Lisa has earned him nothing. Violet proves inspirational as Screech beats a Russian exchange student in chess.Screech constantly follows the schemes of Zack. In many ways Screech is Zack's apprentice. Screech pretends to be Zack on one occaison to take out Mr Belding's Neice so that Zack can tend to other matters. Screech goes under water to take pictures of Bayside's female swim team.

Screech enjoys science, and once even tutors Kelly. Screech is the ultimate accident prone man. If a thing can cause an accident Screech will have an accident. Screech trips, falls, and embarasses himself all the time.

Kelly is the proverbial popular girl. She is head chearleader, has the physical features of a model, and the desires of all the men around her. She represents the traits of beauty, fashion, peer pressure, and the ideals of the "air head as well." In the 80's Kelly was the picture many had in their minds when the term air head is brought up. While she is not blonde, her demeaner and the groups she associates make her the realization of the ideal "air head." Kelly is the popular girl all guys love to want, and all girls love to hate.Kelly on one occasion watches as Slater and Zack compete for her. She can't decide who to take to a dance it seems. Kelly falls for the newest pretty face at her job, Jeff. She gives away her interest by requesting a diet lips to drink.

Kelly is athletic enjoying volleyball, and her position as head chearleader. Kelly is the embodyment of school spirit for Bayside. For someone whose world revolves around High School such seems quite logical.

Lisa takes up after her mom in many ways. Lisa does volunteer to help sick people at the hospital her mom is a nurse at. Lisa is the gossip queen, and even runs a gossip show on Bayside's school radio station. Lisa also works as a phone teen counseler for troubled teens on the school's teenline.Lisa enjoys fashion, and often heads the prom committee. She once maxes out her credit cards a bit too much while on a shopping spree that went to far. Lisa constantly fights off Screech's advances, but ultimately gives in and allows Screech one date with her. Screech grows tired of her constant talking during a movie and dumps her. Lisa it seems can not stand being dumped by anyone even Screech.

Lisa provides a sense of diversity to Saved by the Bell that few preppy shows that have followed have. She is the ultimate black princess which prevents the show from falling into the realm of just another white preppy show as Beverly Hills 90210 is.
