“My 1st onscreen love Dustin Diamond got his Angel wings today,” Spelling wrote.
“Before there was David and Donna [of90210] there was Screech and Violet.
Dustin was my first on-screen kiss.
He welcomed me with open arms onto the set ofSaved By the Bell.
As one can imagine being the newbie on a hit show was overwhelming for a 14-year-old girl.”
She continued, “He not only showed me around but made sure I was always ok.
Such a young gentleman.
He was kind, smart, and always making everyone laugh.
He was a great scene partner.
He was a really good guy.”
“I’m glad he’s out of pain.
He’s an icon to me professionally and personally.”
She concluded the post: “RIP Samuel love, your Violet.”
In separate announcements, Diamond’s otherSaved By the Bellcostars remembered and honored him.

“A pie in your face, my comrade.”
According toPeople, Diamond chose not to renew his role on the show.
