Cast

Main characters

Zoey is an athletic and confident teenage girl who (in Season One) starts the eighth grade at Pacific Coast Academy as one of its first-ever female students, though many will follow afterwards. Creative and full of ideas, Zoey has used her keen fashion sense to design clothes and backpacks. She's always ready to help a friend in need, particularly her younger brother Dustin,. Her first male friend at PCA was Chase Matthews, who showed her around campus on her first day, and who has developed feelings for her. Her roommates in Season One are Dana Cruz and Nicole Bristow. Lola Martinez became their roommate after Dana left. In Season 3, Nicole moves to a different school, thus Quinn Pensky became their new roommate. Another friend of hers is Michael Barrett, who is Chase's best friend. She's down-to-earth, and never hesitates to stand up for her beliefs. She is currently the only girl on the PCA Basketball team, as a result of Dana’s transfer, and was the first girl at PCA to ever be nominated for Class President though she would drop out of the race.
Chase is Zoey Brooks' first and best male friend at PCA. Unbeknownst to her, he also has strong feelings for her. His best friend is Michael Barrett, who has been his roommate since Zoey began school at PCA. His other roommate is Logan Reese. Chase and his roommates are all on the basketball team, and he and Michael co-host "The Chase and Michael Show." Chase is also good friends with Lola Martinez, Quinn Pensky, Nicole Bristow, and Dana Cruz and like a big brother to Dustin Brooks (who is, aptly, Zoey's little brother). Chase was also once nominated for Class President alongside Zoey and Mark Del Figgalo. Though Mark would go on to win after the two dropped out of the race, he and Zoey maintained a rough split of 98% of the class vote.


Lola is an aspiring actress, who one day hopes to be a famous actress in Hollywood. In season 2, she was Zoey Brooks and Nicole Bristow's new roommate at PCA. In Season 3, She is Zoey's and Quinn Pensky's roommate. Lola is very dedicated to her dream of becoming a well-known movie star; she's confident that she'll win A Oscar before her 19th birthday.
Michael is Chase Matthews' best friend. He is a roommate with Logan Reese and Chase. Michael is the most athletic of the trio. He, like Logan, wishes that Chase would confess his love of Zoey Brooks to her; Michael is constantly urging Chase to tell Zoey about his aforementioned feelings. Michael is revealed playing the flute in an episode.
Quinn greatly enjoys and excels in science. Born and raised in Seattle, she doesn't care for socializing Instead, Quinn spends most of her time in her room at PCA, which doubles as a science-lab. Her extracurricular activities include developing various contraptions, all known as "Quinn-ventions", which she then tests out on unsuspecting fellow students. Quinn often employs Dustin Brooks as a guinea pig for her experiments; Dustin's older sister Zoey. In Season Two, Quinn comes across as more of a friend than a scientist. In Season Three, Quinn shares a room with Lola Martinez and Zoey, due to a room-assignment mix-up. Quinn also has a alpaca named Odius who lives back with her Mom and Dad in Seattle.
An arrogant figure in the show, he rates himself as Sophisticated and athletic. He's unhappy about the opposite gender taking up space on campus, especially as part of PCA's sports teams. Logan is the best friend of his roommates Michael Barrett and Chase Matthews. He once mentored Dustin Brooks on how to be a ladies' man, only to watch the younger boy succeed where Logan himself failed. Logan is quite proud of his dad being a TV/film-producer. He always teases Chase about his feelings for Zoey Brooks; however, at the same time, he urges Chase to let her know about his feelings. In a newer episode, we learn that Logan is, an A+ student in chemistry. He kept it a secret through fear of being mocked by his peers.
Besides being his fiercest protector and closest confidante, Zoey has more recently become Dustin's classmate at the newly coed PCA. A child prodigy, Dustin enjoys sharing an 8th grade algebra class with his elder sister. He also enjoys helping Quinn Pensky with her scientific experiments. By Season 3, Dustin is usually seen socializing with friends closer to his own age.
Nicole is Zoey Brooks' best friend. She is from Kansas, where her father owns a juice company. She's very loyal and trustworthy. She was always fighting with her Season 1 roommate, Dana Cruz; however, Nicole got along well with her Season 2 roommate, Lola Martinez. Nicole doesn't return to PCA in Season 3.
As Zoey Brooks' roommate in Season One, Dana is very athletic. She is good at basketball. she went with Logan Reese to the school dance. In Season Two, Dana volunteered for a European exchange program and is currently studying in Paris.
