Andrea Zuckerman, portrayed by Gabrielle Carteris, is a fictional character who was one of the female leads of Beverly Hills, 90210 for the first five seasons.
Andrea was the intelligent but sometimes socially awkward editor of the school newspaper the West Beverly Blaze. She was politically and socially conscious, and often dealt with storylines concerning gender, class, race, and politics. Early in the series Andrea was befriended by Brandon Walsh, who served as her entry point into the "Gang". Though initially an outsider to the female trio of Brenda, Donna, and Kelly, Andrea gradually became good friends with all three.
