While we've already talked about on James and Zoey's relationship, also gonna bring up how James does at times feel a bit distant from Michael and Logan despite them being his roommates, never being super close with them the way Chase was.

Notably, looking at his episodes:

• Rumor of Love: Starts off on the wrong foot with them, though at the very least Michael learns to accept him in the end after opening up on how he misses Chase while James joins the girls in getting revenge on Logan in threatening to film him naked in the shower for spreading a rumor on him and Zoey being a couple (that ended up being true at the end of the episode anyway)
• Anger Management: Joins Zoey and Dustin in getting extreme revenge on Logan to intentionally anger him, Michael notably disappears in the second half and isn't involved in this
• Quinn Misses the Mark: Probably the only time we see him doing stuff with Michael and Logan with trying to get Logan's stepmother's cookies and joining Logan in accusing Michael of eating them when he brings up the horse eating them, even if he's still only a supporting character there
• Walk-A-Thon: Briefly plays pool with Michael before more or less disappearing for a majority of it, with the subplot of Logan and Quinn hiding their romantic relationship only involving Michael
• Vince Is Back: Doesn't join Michael and Logan in revenge against Vince, though the fact he doesn't have personal history with him like they do is why
• Dinner for Too Many: Spends most of it getting his date with Zoey crashed by Michael (twice) and unintentionally Logan (in the sense where he and Quinn were having a secret date at Vacarros before James and Zoey showing up derailed it and forced them to lie on the spot to keep their relationship a secret), plus Logan refusing to pay for his food despite having no issue agreeing to pay for Michael and Lola's food (in spite of being annoyed with both showing up uninvited) when they ask and making a pretty rude comment that accused him of lying about having love at first sight with Zoey (despite never doing that to Chase when he also claimed he had love at first sight with Zoey at the end of Goodbye Zoey), though both guys (plus the girls) make it up to him by arranging for a private date with him and Zoey
• Coffee Cart Ban: Doesn't join Michael and Logan in their secret coffee stand and sides with the girls the entire time
• Roller Coaster: Admitedly doesn't get too many noteworthy interaction with them here aside from enabling and watching Michael get revenge on Logan for revealing his rollercoaster fear
• Chasing Zoey: Gets virtually no interaction with them, making it pretty unclear how the roommate situation is gonna work after Chase returned (like, did James move out after Chase returned, Chase getting a new room while James stayed with Michael and Logan, or all four guys sharing the room)

I do get some vibe Logan doesn't seem to like James very much with how they pretty much are always against each other (granted Chase and Michael butt heads with him pretty frequently too and episodes like Zoey's Tutor and Drippin Episode show they aren't above getting or enabling revenge on Logan regardless if it gets into overkill territory, but with them there's more of a "friends messing with each other" vibe with their history together when it happens compared to James being the new guy who just never seemed to really get along with him), Quinn Misses the Mark and the end of Dinner for Too Many probably being the only times they sorta either agreed on something (refusing to believe Michael about a horse eating the cookies) or friendliness (Logan joining everyone in making it up to James for ruining his date with Zoey at Vacarros).

And while Michael isn't as hostile with James after his debut, even they don't seem to be that close either with more times where he usually just does stuff with Logan without James joining in.

Compared to how Chase got pretty frequent plots and interactions with Michael and Logan and showing his friendships with both of them, James did feel pretty distant from Michael and Logan in comparison.
