Following the sudden death of Patrick Muldoon, fans are looking back at the stars of Saved By The Bell and where life has taken them since the iconic 90s show.
Muldoon himself had a memorable role as Jeffrey “Jeff” Hunter, appearing in season three before going on to build a successful career in shows like Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place.
His passing at 57 has sparked renewed interest in the rest of the cast, many of whom went on to carve out very different paths.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack Morris, continued acting in major TV roles including NYPD Blue and more recently appeared in reboots and dramas.
Tiffani Thiessen, known as Kelly Kapowski, also stayed in the spotlight, starring in series like White Collar and taking on hosting roles in later years.
Mario Lopez, who played A.C. Slater, made one of the biggest career pivots, becoming a well-known TV host on shows like Access Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Dustin Diamond, who played Screech, remained closely tied to the show’s legacy but faced personal struggles before his death in 2021 from cancer.
Another actor linked to the show, Eric Dane, who made a brief appearance early in his career, went on to star in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, though he also passed away earlier this year.
While some cast members stayed in Hollywood, others stepped away from the spotlight or pursued different careers entirely.
The show itself remains one of the most recognizable teen sitcoms of its era, with its cast continuing to hold a strong place in pop culture decades later.
Muldoon’s passing has now added a more emotional layer to that legacy, reminding fans just how much time has passed since the series first aired.
