Tori! Tori! Tori!

I have to bow down to this one. So brazen, bold, savvy and yet so oddly excuted that there was nothing left to do but run off and cry. Who's this? Why it's Tori Scott from Saved By The Bell. During one season after the "classic" gang was clicking on all 3 and a half cylinders, actresses Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley decided to bolt leaving the everyone in a heck of a fix. What to do? Although their main audience of pre-teens, teens and horny men; perhaps weren't up for out and out replacements of Jessie and Kelly--they did the next best thing: They morphed them both into one poorly written character.

Tori appeared in a handful of episodes including, "School Song" and the one about a Bayside suicide hotline. Pictured on the left is Tori after her successful plastic surgery to look excatly like Mr. Belding.


Tori Scott was played by Leanna Creel, she's one of set of triplets and she's gotten pretty well known behind the camera. Ha!Take that Amber-Thiessen!

Interesting footnote: The girl who played Tori on the later "Saved by the Bell" episodes was in a made-for-TV remake of The Parent Trap where she played one of the three triplets you mentioned.

Who played Miss Bliss on the early version of "Saved By the Bell" (originally called "Good Morning, Miss Bliss")? That's right, the original Parent Trapper, Hayley Mills. Weird...

That is very interesting. That's where the pic of Leanna came from. They didn't take a lot of them during her stint on "Saved by the Bell."

That TV-"Parent Trap" remake wasn't bad either...

Actually, I thought that both made-for-TV Parent Trap remakes were actually quite good. But then again, I was like 8 when I last saw them, so what the hell do I know?

LOL, I saw the Parent Trap with Leanna Creel not too long ago, it wasn't bad. Still can't decide with one of them are the best actress...
