iladelphxx Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Apparantly, he's had a large lump on his neck for months but refused to go to the hospital because he is afraid of the paparazzi finding out. It finally got so big that it was affecting the bloodflow to his brain and caused him to pass out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPIDER-MAN Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/01/entertainment/dustin-diamond-obit/index.html (CNN) - Dustin Diamond, who played the role of Screech on the popular 1990s high school comedy "Saved by the Bell," died Monday after a recent cancer diagnosis, according to Diamond's manager, Roger Paul. He was 44. Diamond first shared news of his cancer diagnosis last month. At the time, his manager said his client's health was "serious" and that Diamond was undergoing further testing at a Florida hospital. He underwent his first round of chemotherapy days later. An actor and stand-up comedian, Diamond found fame playing Samuel "Screech" Powers for more than a decade on the "Saved by the Bell" franchise. The teen series was recently re-imagined by the Peacock streaming service with some of the original stars, though not Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also got rid of Kelly and Jesse and replaced them with Tori, then they came back. The school's gym was the size of our living room and they didn't have a cafeteria. Someone on YouTube posts "Zack Morris is Trash" videos summarizing how much of a deek he really was in each episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
