Bailey Pickett

Bailey Marie Pickett (portrayed by Debby Ryan) is one of the main characters on The Suite Life on Deck. She is from the fictional town of Kettlecorn, Kansas and pretends to be a boy in the premiere episode because there were no available places in the SS Tiptons cabins for a female. After her ruse is discovered, she is permitted to stay on board due to the departure of another female student who London Tipton bribed to leave. Bailey has also appeared on cross-over episodes of other Disney Channel series, such as Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana.
Character history
Bailey is a girl from Kettlecorn, Kansas. Although she loves her life in Kettlecorn, she wishes to explore the world around her and masquerades as a boy in order to attend Seven Seas High on the cruise liner, SS Tipton. Since Bailey doubles as a boy's name and because she has played for a boys' baseball team, she manages to become a student at Seven Seas High.
After fooling the crew into believing that she is a male, she becomes Zack's cabin-mate. At first, the two clash because Zack is messy while Bailey is more hygienic and feminine. However, after her real gender is found out by Zack, he promises to keep it a secret.
Cody quickly becomes suspicious of the two; and it's not long before Bailey's real gender is revealed to the entire crew. However, since London Tipton had a cabin to herself (after bribing her old cabin-mate to leave), Bailey was still able to stay and be cabin-mates with her. Bailey was excited at the thought of sharing with London but the Tipton heiress opposed it. Annoyed at the whole idea of staying on the SS Tipton, London flees to Parrot Island, leaving Bailey feeling responsible and guilty over her disappearance.
When everyone goes to retrieve London from the island, Bailey tags along and helps them not only escape the island, but also rescue London. Along the way, she even manages to get a pet pig named Porkers. By the time they return to the ship, London reluctantly decides to be a little more friendly to Bailey. They even started to bond, as Bailey helps London pick out fancy clothes. However, despite their friendship, London often embarrasses Bailey, especially by picking on her. In the episode "", she and London have an intelligence test with Porkers and London's dog, Ivana, and it is revealed that Bailey was once a cheerleader at her high school back in Kettlecorn when Porkers wins and Bailey does a victory cheer for him. In the episode "", London embarrasses Bailey by telling her internet show viewers that Bailey's underwear resembles a parachute. In the same episode, London informs her viewers that Bailey snores. When the students return after a school break in "Lost at Sea", London briefly forgets Bailey's name.
In the episode "", Bailey appears to have feelings for Cody at the end of the episode.
In "", she says that a "big city" is "any place where the mayor is not a goose". In "", Bailey receives the first detention of her school career. In "", Zack (serving as Hall Monitor) gives Bailey detention on consecutive days, once for breaking curfew with Cody and once for running in the halls with London.
In "Beauty and the Fleeced", Bailey is shown to be a good singer when she wins the originally fake pageant started by Zack, Woody, and Marcus.
In almost every episode, Bailey is shown wearing skinny jeans and plaid or checker board. In" Can You Dig It?" Princess Xaria's spirit possesses Bailey. When Cody finds out, he has to get the crown and put it on her statue. Bailey is eventually saved and Princess Xaria's spirit (a sparkly green mist) goes back in her statue. But London takes the crown because she has short-term memory, and is possessed by Princess Xaria.
Throughout the first season of the show, Bailey is oblivious to that Cody is trying to make her his girlfriend and sees only a friend in himself. At the end of the season, in the episode "Double-Crossed", after Hannah Montana gave her and Cody tickets for her concert, Bailey says to Cody "This is going to be the best date ever" and kisses him on the lips, starting their relationship. Bailey and Cody are together throughout the second season, but they end up breaking up for a short time in the episodes "Lost at Sea" and "Marriage 101", but they get back together in the same episodes.
At the second season's final episode, "Breakup in Paris", Bailey and Cody celebrate their one-year anniversary in Paris. Unfortunately, Bailey sees Cody with a "Hideous French girl", while actually he was practicing the anniversary date with London. Bailey gets upset and is cheered up by Jean Luc, who obviously has a crush on her. Cody sees this and thinks that Bailey is cheating on him. Bailey finds out the truth from London and, then, she and Cody have a major argument that results in ending of their romantic relationship. Throughout the third season of the show, it is shown that Bailey still has feelings for Cody, while he still has feelings for Bailey. In "A London Carol", an alternate future shows that Bailey and Cody are married, although the two at that point in time are still separated. In "The Play's The Thing", Cody writes a play that is an obvious portrayal of his view of his and Bailey's breakup, which causes Bailey to quit the play. Haley is killed at the end of the play and Bailey runs off crying. When Cody attempts to reconcile with Bailey, she slams the door in his face. In the three-part episode, "Twister", Bailey and Cody get back together, admitting that they never stopped loving each other.
In the series finale, "Graduation on Deck", Bailey is accepted to Yale, which Cody is not. She chooses Cody over Yale, but later decides to still go, because Cody tells her that she can't miss the opportunity, and that he will come visit her.
