SPOILER ALERT: TNT’s Franklin and Bash is all new tonight. The show’s star Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s early years are the subject of a new “tell-all” Lifetime TV movie about Saved By The Bell. The unauthorized story is based in part on Screech actor Dustin Diamond's book, Behind The Bell. Recently, MPG’s new co-star, Breckin Meyer, let loose on Diamond.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episodes, titled "Love Is the Drug"
reads:
“The guys defend a taxi-service driver who's accused of stealing celebrity handbags. Meanwhile, Infeld punches a restaurateur, escalating a bitter rivalry between the two. Guest stars include Mike Tyson and John Michael Higgins.”
Breckin Meyer, recently sat down with The Huffington Post, where he had a few words to say about his current co-star, Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s old side-kick Dustin Diamond:
"I don't know Dustin at all, but ... the Dustin Diamond thing is just so silly. It's just so negative and it always bums me out."
He even talked about Diamond’s sex tape:
"That's not him! Screech is not packing that. Get the hell out of here. He doesn't have six Beldings beneath him. There's no f***ing way. You're full of s**t, Dustin. Suck it."
Now Diamond has responded telling The Daily Beast:
“Here’s the thing, Breckin Meyer was the one really going at it. Mark-Paul gave the trained response we learned together at NBC when we were kids. He did the professional ‘Don’t say anything too bad’ and just keep it to ‘I don’t remember anything but the good times from that.’ Safe answers. Breckin Meyer was the one who went more off the handle. A lot of people do that for ratings--I don’t know what his reason was for. But he even said, ‘I’ve never met Dustin.’ So how can he say these things when he’s never met me? We’ve never shared a conversation, we’ve never met face to face. We’ve never been in the same room. That makes me judge someone, personally.”
Check out the all new episode of Franklin and Bash tonight on TNT.
