Kelly Kapowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelly Morris (Née Kapowski) is a fictional character in the U.S. television series Saved By The Bell, played by Tiffani Amber Thiessen.
In the show, Kelly was the most popular girl at school and also managed to be head cheerleader and captain of the volleyball team.
She also was the love interest of lead character, Zack Morris.
At the start of her freshman year, Zack had been trying to go out with Kelly ever since she can remember. For a while, a feud began between Zack and fellow student A.C. Slater over who would be her boyfriend. During her sophomore year, Slater conceded defeat to Zack and she and Zack began dating.
The following school year marked the end of their relationship. Kelly began working at The Max and fell for her boss, Jeffrey Hunter, played by Patrick Muldoon. Breaking Zack's heart, Kelly dated Jeff for a while, until he was caught at a 21-and-over club with another girl.
When that character was caught, Kelly and Zack became closer as friends in the show and dated other people. While vacationing in Palm Springs for Jessie Spano's father's wedding, Zack and Kelly flirted with the possibility of getting together again but only remained friends.
In her senior year on the show, she was once again pursued by Zack to accompany him to the prom. As graduation approached, Kelly stated she could not afford to go to an out-of-state university and instead would attend community college. She and her friends graduated from Bayside High in 1993 and went their separate ways.
After being on a waiting list for enrollment at California University, Kelly became accepted into Cal U, joining her former high school friends (Zack, Slater, and Screech) as suitemates. She also became the new roommate of Leslie Burke and Alex Taber. While at Cal U, Kelly engaged in an affair with her Anthropology professor, Jeremiah Lasky.
Zack makes a final attempt to win her over when she decides to go on a "Semester on the Sea" program through the Mediterranean for three months. Zack proposed to Kelly, in which she agreed.
Without much support from their families, Zack and Kelly had planned to get married in Las Vegas. The couple managed to bring Slater, Screech, and Lisa Turtle with them for the event. Just prior to the exchange of vows at the ceremony at a cheapie wedding chapel, Zack's parents rushed in, stopping the wedding. They tell Zack and Kelly that they will give them the wedding of their dreams.
A few days later, Zack and Kelly have a beautiful wedding outside in the Las Vegas area. Lisa and Jessie stand as bridesmaids while Screech and Slater stand as groomsmen. They later did a honeymoon.
When Zack and Slater made a joint guest appearance on "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" a few years later, Slater asked Zack how "the Mrs." (presumably Kelly) is doing. Zack replied "Good."
