Dustin Diamond's "Behind the Bell" tell-all about his days on "Saved by the Bell" includes his tattle tales of possible teen sexcapades, pot smoking and steroid use among his old cast mates — although he's only guessing, because he never seems to have been invited into anyone's dressing room. Those cast mates aren't angry about it — at least, not Tiffani Thiessen, who says: "Poor thing. It's so sad."
Working in New York on her new USA Network series, "White Collar," she says that she and fellow "Bell" alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar "talk a lot — his play ('The Understudy') is in previews here — and we feel bad for him. I talk to a lot of people from the show. We feel more sorry for him than anything. Some of the accusations he makes are a little ridiculous. They're comical."
Diamond, still best known as Screech from the old show, "generally felt a little more of an outcast," Thiessen recalls. "His mother died of cancer when he was young, and his father was, well, maybe not the best father. He walked away with a little bit of a bitter taste. I don't know why. We were never mean to him; I know that. He played a geek and was a little bit of a geek himself."
As for the "Bell" actors' responses, she says: "What are you going to do? We're not out there to bash him. ... I hope something will turn for him
