The difference between Noah in TDI and Zoey is that Noah was designed to be early elimination fodder and nothing more. A character can't really get much development when he only has a speaking role in three episodes out of 26. Zoey, on the other hand, was clearly always intended to be a main character, which makes how poorly her characterization has been all the more painful.
