The End for Zoey 101 Star, Alexa Nikolas?

Dating back to August 2005, there has been talk that Jamie Lynn-Spears (Zoey) and Alexa Nikolas (Nicole) have been feuding off-set. Despite the fact the two play best friends on Zoey 101, the girls’ fights reportedly keep escalating.

On August 30, 2005, the first report of the girls’ spat was released. Apparently, Jamie’s sister, Britney, came on set and screamed at Alexa. Britney was caught saying things like, “she had better watch herself or she will never work in this town again," and Alexa was an “evil little girl.” Britney’s spokeswomen claimed Britney did not yell and just stuck up for Jamie like any big sister would. Alexa was seen crying on set.

After that, the news about the two seemed to calm down and to my knowledge, there were no updates about it. But on July 2, 2006, the New York Post came out with an article saying Alexa had been fired. It seems Alexa’s character has been written out by suffering a “bad accident.” According to the Post, reps for the show and Jamie Lynn didn’t return calls. Pity. 

Alexa’s character, Nicole Bristow, has always been popular among fans. Nicole is known as being incredibly hyper (not to mention boy-crazy). She’s like the Tasmanian Devil on too much sugar and caffeine. Nicole’s a fun character to have around and it will be a shame to lose her. The fans have already found out about Alexa being fired (it’s amazing so many have because of the lack of information) and have taken action in the form of petitions

This is not 100 percent confirmed, as Nickelodeon has not commented on the issue to my knowledge. Nothing is true unless confirmed by the official source. The official source refuses to return calls. However, news is starting to spread. News about Alexa is now found on numerous reliable sites. Besides, although the media is famous for twisting news, why would the New York Post flat-out lie about Alexa being fired?

    If Alexa is fired, me and my friends won't be watching the show any more. Jamie Lynn isn't the only star of that show. Alexa is awesome, and she needs to stay. But if I were her, and if these reports are true, I'd go elsewhere at this point and rise above the decisions made at Nick.

    i don't want alexa nikolas to get fired..i want her to stay on zoey 101 and it goes for kristin herrera too you know...me and my friend don't really watch the show anymore because dana isn't in it. They can't just say she magically went to paris. all my friends love dana we think that's she's awesome. alose jamie lynn isn't the only character on the show. even though the show is called zoey 101 everyone on that show makes the show great not only zoey. i heard that the 3 main girls fought with eachother. but i think it's a rumour because to me alexa seems like a nice person. and kristin too. i think the reason why they mostly fight is becuase of jamie. people say that she has a diva attitude. to me if they keep firing the fave characters the show will likely go down and have no where to go.

    i agree kristen and alexa make the show happen to noy just jamie i don't even like jamie and the reason they were all fighting is probably because of jamie if anybody should be fired it should be jamie not alexa or kristen

    Elle: I guess the reason why she's on mostly on the covers is because she's a main character which is not fair to the other characters..

  • 14 - love her!!!

    Aug 18, 2006 at 5:13 pm

    thet is so wrong to fire alexa!!!
    i love her so mach!!!
    i can't understand why Britney had to yell at her!
    if jamie is older anogh to be a star on her own t.v show, she can protect herself!!!!!!!!
    don't fire her it will kill your show!!!
    if youre will put alexa in the lead the show will be better,
    so you better fire jamie!!!!!
    and i'm waiting for britney to come and yell at me....

    I LOVE Alexa!!!
    Boy,Britney hasn't ANYTHING to do with the show!I HATE HER!!!^^
    Why they don't make a show ONLY with Jamie Lynn, huh...ya know,what I mean is, Jamie's not the ONLY and BEST one on the show!
    Alexa acts MUCH BETTER than Jamie Lynn does!!
    I think Alexa and Vicky r the best characters on the Show!

    Well not only girls watch this show well 75% girls do and if jamie was gone then i would never watch that show again. If any of you havnt noticed zoey aka jamie lynn spears is the hottest girl on that show. She can sing,Shes got looks and most importantly she has the attitude.

    The script is awsome! If jamie was gone then i predict atleast 95% of the guy audiance would never watch that show again Not to mention all the girls who would leave.

    Alexa most likely didn't deserve to be yelled at by britany and we all know how bad her life is right now. Jamie lynn and alexa shouldn't talk off set if all they do is fight. If they try to say nicole died and move along with the show that wouldnt work because that doesnt fit the shows theme i mean nicole dieing...That doesnt seem right.

    Im sad to see a cast member go but saying jamie lynn spears doesnt belong on that show is the worst thing i have heard all year.

    i like all the cast members but you shouldn't fireeeeeeee nickalos because she makes the audience laugh and a little special.Butttttttttttt, i reallllly didn't think so that BRITTTTTTTNNNNNNEEEYYY SSPPEEARRSS had to buttttt in the show and she doesn't have to yell at nickalos and you know what jamie lynnnn speeaarrs does not have to always wear mini skirts to show yourlegs(i am not saying that i hate you it's just i wanna stick for my friend that's gonna go so soon that is nickalos)but all i am saying is that you shhould not no one get hurt or upset or(espesially)no one getting out. Look jamie i know how to speak like you and i always wanna be you your a very nice person and i think your very beauyiful and glamous and pretty but would you just do me a favour and say to nickalos i want you to come back on my show pleeeaaasssssssssseeeeee put nickalos back as soon as possible. good luck talking to her and oh one more thing just saysorry to your sister bye

    i found out that kristin herrera might return to zoey 101 but i don't know i mean..why would they fire someone and bring them back? not that i dont want dana back me and my bhessy (bestfriend) LOVE her she's like our role model! i want Kristin back and i want Alexa to stay..i want JAMIE TO GET FIRED! i like: Victoria justice, kristin herrera, alexa nikolas etc. but not jamie she's such a wanna be i mean she tries to be perfect! i bet you they wont fire her cuz she's the main star and chase "likes" her if they keep firing people like i said before..this show will go down and will never go anywhere

    Maybe they fired her because they only want three girls in room 101? That can simply be changed by having the room by shared by 4 girls. I like Nicole in the show. She remind a bit of me in a way. If she is out of the show then who is going to replace Zoey bestfriend in the show? Dana doesn't seem likey to be a bestfriend (if she is coming back) Lola? I don't know if that is really a good idea. They don't seem in my mind to work out like that. If Dana does come back who would she fight with? Lola? I just think the writers really need to rethink their actions and stop making mistakes in the show. They had the right cast in the season.
