Fans quickly turned on actor Patrick Fabian after he kissed Kelly Kapowski on Saved By The Bell: The College Years in the '90s.

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – In the ’90s, one man went from hero to zero after locking lips with TV bombshell Tiffani Amber-Thiessen.That man was actor Patrick Fabian, who played Professor Jeremiah Lasky on Saved By The Bell: The College Years – or Kelly Kapowski’s love interest who WASN’T Zack Morris.
When he first appeared on the sitcom, Fabian says female viewers loved him and would constantly send flirty fanmail saying how cute he was.
But after he kissed Amber-Thiessen onscreen and stole her from Zack Morris, the tide quickly turned.
Fabian says he started getting loads of hate mail scolding him for breaking up the beloved TV couple which was shocking since, in his words, “I was totally unaware of how iconic Zack and Kelly were together.”
Fabian says his only supporters were young guys who, to this day, still give him props on the street for making out with Kelly.
He can be seen this August in Eli Roth’s The Last Exorcism.
