List of Zoey 101 characters

This is a list of characters from the Nickelodeon comedy-drama Zoey 101, an American television series which originally aired on Nickelodeon from January 9, 2005, until May 2, 2008. Zoey 101 was created by Dan Schneider, who also serves as executive producer.

Zoey Jade Brooks (Jamie Lynn Spears) is the main character in the series. Zoey is the older sister of Dustin Brooks and the roommate and best friend of Dana Cruz (Season 1) Nicole Bristow (Seasons 1–2) Lola Martinez (Season 2 onwards) and Quinn Pensky; she is also the best female friend of Chase Matthews. Her other friends include Michael Barrett, Logan Reese, and James Garrett. Zoey enjoys basketball and designing clothes. She is also quite good at playing disc golf and acting and owns a pink Jet-X scooter.

In "Goodbye Zoey?" (the third season), she moves to Covington, a preparatory school in London, England, while her dad works there. She later returns to PCA to tell Chase her true feelings after overhearing him tell Michael and Logan that he misses and loves her, but Chase has already transferred to Covington to be with Zoey. They try to date via webcam but decide that it would not work out and that they would have to wait until Chase returns to PCA after a whole semester.

While Chase is in London, Zoey moves on and begins to date new student and Logan and Michael's new roommate, James Garrett, and, before prom, he tells her that he loves her. Zoey, who is unsure of her feelings, decides to break up with him, though they remain friends. After a long wait, Zoey and Chase share their long-awaited first kiss and officially become a couple in the series finale "Chasing Zoey."

In Zoey 102, Zoey is now a single, 32-year-old, struggling TV producer for a reality series called "LOVE: Fully Charged". She reunites with most of her old friends from PCA at Quinn and Logan's wedding (for which she is the maid of honor), including those two, Chase, Michael, Stacey, and Mark. Things between Zoey and Chase are tense, the reason being that the two were supposed to embark on a romantic getaway in Hawaii after high school, but Zoey was nervous of things between them failing again and bailed on him, leading to their subsequent breakup and lack of contact for the next 15 years. Zoey apologizes and the two warm up to each other, eventually revealing that they have both maintained feelings for each other after all these years. They kiss and end up getting back together.

Dustin Brooks (Paul Butcher) is Zoey's younger brother. Besides being his fiercest protector and closest confidante, Zoey becomes her brother's classmate at the newly co-ed PCA. As a child prodigy, Dustin enjoys sharing an eighth-grade geometry class with his equally savvy elder sister. He also helps Quinn Pensky with her scientific experiments when he's not talking his way in and out of sticky situations.

Whenever Dustin gets in over his head, Zoey is always the first one to rush to her brother's aid. Although her protective behavior gets on Dustin's nerves from time to time, he loves Zoey too much to hold that against her. In the season 2 episode "Bad Girl", Dustin dates a girl named Trisha Kirby. By Season 3, not only is Dustin friends with all of the main characters, but he also spends much time with children closer to his age. When Zoey moves with their parents to London, Dustin stays at PCA. In the TV movie "Chasing Zoey," he goes to the prom with Quinn but storms out when he thinks he is being used and disappears afterward. In an alternative ending: Quinn apologizes to him, and Dustin later dances with an unknown girl.

Dustin did not appear in Zoey 102, though he was mentioned by Zoey to now be married with children.
