Heather Hopper

I Loved her character on the show, I just wish there were more Miss Bliss episodes, I mean GMMB was crap compares to SBTB but I still enjoyed it Anyway, Did anyone else Just love the character of Nikki?

Jessie ends up being quite a bit like Nicki, as far as academics go, but Jessie is not a tomboy like she is. They missed that part of Nicki's personality when they recast the girls for Saved by the Bell.

I do think that Good Morning, Miss Bliss would not have been the same without Nicki, though.

And yeah, I loved Nikki. I was a pretty chilled out kid myself, so I thought she was a pretty cool cutie. Now, all these years later, while I see where the cast members have come and gone in both the show and in real life, I always wonder what happened to Heather Hopper. She comes and, thirteen episodes later, she goes. That's all she wrote, Bob.

Even as a kid, I was thinking about how Lisa, Jessie, Kelly, Tori and all these other chicks yuk it up and get all this attention, and that's fine, but in the back of my mind, I miss the Nikki character and always wonder what became of Heather Hopper. I guess what I mean is that when I watch the more mainstream SbtB episodes, I miss the innocence and charm of the Miss Bliss episodes that everyone thought were so boring. Yeah, it's nice to have Kelly looking hot or Jessie going batsh!t crazy about something, but I wonder what the shows would have been like with the more level-headed Nikki around. (Side note: I LOVE Hayley Mills, but there's no way she would have worked in the later episodes; and Mikey? Poor kid, there's nothing I remember about him, and I just watched the entire Miss Bliss season this past week. Nikki, though, I think could have made an interesting character in the mainstream SbtB eps.)

Obviously, the mystery of Heather Hopper's life plays a lot into the intrigue, and as someone who values privacy as well, she has even more of my respect for staying so well under the radar when she could be making a joke of herself like certain other Saved by the Bell actors have done. So, yeah, all that said, I was really really happy to find that youtube video or her standup routine.
