New Girl: Every Main Character, Ranked

9. Reagan

Needless to say, this list will cover the topic of Jess Day much closer to the top. She was the heart and soul of the show, she was the new girl for which it was titled, and was loved by everyone. Why then, when Zooey Deschanel left at the beginning of season five to go on maternity leave, was she replaced with a character who couldn't have been more her opposite?

Megan Fox came to town as Reagan, something of a temporary Jess replacement, and was a cold, hard business woman who didn't really fit in with the show's vibe at all.

Apart from being a replacement for Jess in terms of a fourth occupant of apartment 4D, she also became the main love interest for Nick for a while. In reality, she wasn't a good fit for either purpose, and though she did eventually ease into the quirkiness of the group, she mainly just highlighted how much the show needed and missed Zooey Deschanel.

Perhaps however, the most damning evidence for why Reagan falls dead last on this list is that she couldn't even be bothered to read the Pepperwood Chronicles!
