The Future of Zoey 101 Hangs in the Balance As Nickelodeon Airs Movie Special

Written by CallmeMaddy

Hot British accents or hot California surfer dudes? Oh, the woes of a teenaged girls. On January 4 at 8 PM, Zoey 101 will air its third TV movie, Goodbye Zoey. In this movie, Zoey (Jamie Lynn Spears) is faced with a tough decision: move to London with her parents or stay at PCA with all of her friends?

This is going to be good. I'm really excited. So, as most teens would, Zoey asked for advice from her roomies, actress Lola (Victoria Justice) and scientist Quinn (Erin Sanders), along with guy friends, potato-chip loving, flute-playing Michael (Chris Massey) and self-centered rich boy Logan (Matt Underwood). However, Zoey is waiting for the "perfect moment" to tell best guy friend and love interest, Chase (Sean Flynn). Of course, Chase finds out via a third person and is upset. So, Zoey is totally unprepared for what Chase has to tell her, which is — I'm almost positive — that he loves her.

Oh my goodness. Finally. Three seasons! I've been waiting. There is supposedly some cliffhanger (which sucks) at the end, so I doubt we see them get together. I'm assuming she'll stay at PCA, since season four has already been filmed. I'm not truly sure about Chase getting together with Zoey. This is because in season four Sean isn't going to be in all the episodes (due to his age) and there will be a new person playing Zoey's love interest.

Jamie, who is obviously too busy getting knocked up, is putting this show in danger. Nick's actually thinking of not airing season four because Jamie's now pregnant. (They are having some special Nick News/Linda Ellerbee talk on teen pregnancy as a result). Luckily, they will probably decide to air the season, because of the huge cliffhanger. Before knowing about Jamie's blunder, Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President of Development and Original Programming at Nickelodeon commented, “We think the surprise ending will leave viewers riveted and looking forward to the new season of the show.”

I say it's too bad she didn't leave for London. Imagine if she did. Getting her out of the Hollywood eye to raise a kid at sixteen might be a good idea. Plus, she's not the world's best actress. I hate how Jamie Lynn Spears complicates this so much. If it wasn't for her, Alexa Nikolas (Nicole) would still be on the show and the show would be so much better. Obviously, Jamie was a bad choice for Zoey. Here's a character who's nearly flawless, and the actress is going around acting like her big sister. Maybe she'll shave her head...

It's too late now though. Who thought she'd be that stupid? Who thought Nick would be silly enough to hire a member of the messed-up Spears family? This was practically predictable. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the show. I'm watching it closely. One thing is apparent: the movie should be quite fun.

A lot of your information is wrong. I'd like a source for your information regarding Chase not being in all the episodes.

Andrea--

Go to Sean Flynn's myspace. Under the myspace, Erin writes, "We're really going to miss you."

I realize that this could mean a lot of things, but considering I've seen interviews that all of the cast was present minus Sean, that's what I am assuming.

Sam--

Yeah, I'm a big fat freakin JERK for telling the truth. Do me a favor and ask any normal person. I'm not the only person who thinks that.

If you don't agree with me, give me actual evidence that's I'm wrong. Then, we'll talk.
