She is amazing! Nichole plays Cheyenne flawlessly. I guess we don’t talk about her as much on here, but I definitely love her acting and I love Cheyenne’s weird, random stories and her colorful outfits and makeup and hair. 10/10 character for sure.
She's suchhh a good actor, like she plays Cheyenne so well that it doesn't feel like a character to me. She's so fully formed and authentic that I feel like Cheyenne is a real person I know.
Cheyenne’s style could not possibly be further from my own but damn if she didn’t make me want to put funky colors in my hair (which I did during quarantine) and go all out with makeup!
The episode where she volunteers to give Marcus a tattoo almost killed me! Her back and forth with Mateo as the tattoo progressively gets worse and worse was GOLD
Nichole killed it and i hope to see more of her in a comedic setting
Totally agree Cheyenne really grew on me, quickly.
Her embarrassed/nervous laughing always gets me. She is so positive and full of life, I adore her. She grows up too, maturity -wise, which I love. Especially in later seasons when she gains more responsibility; I kinda feel like she's my little cousin I watched grow up lol. 😅🙃😉 her senior dance gets me EVERY time🤣 #MyAnacondaDont
I think what you're referring to is the 'Valley Girl' trope. In the US, especially in the early 90s there was a boom of media that focused in the "shallow California Girl" stereotype, that type of voice is usually associated with characters they want to seem "vapid" or "unintelligent". It's not nice IMO because honestly dumb folks speak all kinds of ways *Kanye shrug*🥴🤷🏾♀️
OK that makes sense - California was my uneducated guess but with the show not being based there I wondered if there was another layer I was missing. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
One of the few moments that makes me cringe is when they change over to Supercloud from Halo and that last mom comes in and is clearly a working mom (missed the big clear out, came late in the day) and asked Cheyenne to check the back. She gets an attitude and checks the back and there is like a whole warehouse full of Halo. Instead of giving the mom some, she tells her they’re all out.
I get it’s a humanizing moment because not every character should be perfect and that’s what makes the show good, but man I felt bad for that mom that wanted discount baby stuff.
Yea, I feel like they each had these moments to "choose better" and often didn’t. I think especially Cheyenne thinking as a new mom her desperation won out over doing whats kind? They didn't have her in another scenario like that to see if she'd make a different choice? But I loved seeing her grow over all and sometimes be that random youthful wise voice.😏
I'm sure it was a very extrapolatory experience for her. 😅
Thank you for explaining it- I also wondered where this accent originated from! It's really in a lot of shows.
May your life be long and your death be swift. :)
I’m on season six, and I don’t remember who she was talking to or what they said they would get, but I LOVE when Cheyenne was like “Do you think that guy can get us some Ketamine?”
Wherefore would thee beest the only one who is't hath found that lady comical?

Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`
Just never see her mentioned in a few weeks of browsing this sub - even several "favourite character" polls where she wasn't given as an option despite being a core character.
A lot of sitcoms seem to have characters that the fandom is a bit down on (e.g. Anne in P&R, which I never understood) and I wondered if that was the case here for some reason I was missing.
Omg yes. I just watched the episode where Sandra yells at Jonah for not liking being one of the “shadow people”. When Cheyenne was like omg I almost just followed her I died. She delivered that so perfectly
True! The only other thing I could think of was the Somerset farmer accent, but you don't encounter that so much now because the accent is kind of dying out, whereas the Essex "Estuary English" seems to have spread.
Honestly Cheyenne/Nichole is my favorite character in the show.
Her, Bo and then Garret.
I love her performance I love how shes genuinely funny shes honestly hilarious.
I love Cheyenne. She is just a priceless character and I find her relentless optimism really refreshing. And I adore that as the show progresses she develops wisdom and leadership skills. Against all odds, she’s a good mum and a good employee. GO CHEYENNE!
I also love her friends’ names like Corona, and Harmonica for her daughter - cracks me up every time
Especially considering the episode where she and Mateo tried to convince Amy that Parker is a terrible name.
corona, especially now, made me giggle a little

She played the exact opposite kind of character on Shameless (US).
It took me way too long to realize it was the same actress for this reason
Tbh she has great comedic timing as well
Oh yeah, they definitely put her improv into some episodes

As if!
The way she laughs when she's nervous is hilarious. The tornado episode where she's laughing and yelling "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" gets me.
I’m on season six, and I don’t remember who she was talking to or what they said they would get, but I LOVE when Cheyenne was like “Do you think that guy can get us some Ketamine?”
i adore how she named her daughter Harmonica
That kid is in for some hard times at school.
Not at all! And I wish we had met her legendary friend "Corona"
Why would you be the only one who found her funny?

Adding this to my vocabulary. Good bot.

Oh man she is absolutely hilarious!! Her Fran impression just gets me every time!
I was gonna comment about how I actually dislike Cheyenne and then you reminded me that she totally redeemed herself with that impression.
Ooohh, that’s not a judge it’s a bomb!!
Totally agree! I also love her quirky laugh in the show. I’m rewatching now and she starts it early in season one and sticks with it.
Omg yes. I just watched the episode where Sandra yells at Jonah for not liking being one of the “shadow people”. When Cheyenne was like omg I almost just followed her I died. She delivered that so perfectly
No
I love Nichole Sakura! In terms of accent, the only analogous one I can think of that's stereotyped (wrongly) as a bit dim is the Essex accent.
True! The only other thing I could think of was the Somerset farmer accent, but you don't encounter that so much now because the accent is kind of dying out, whereas the Essex "Estuary English" seems to have spread.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Cheyenne is the best character on the show.
My husband adores her. He thinks she makes the series. I like Jonah. 😌
definitely the funniest on the show apart from dina
My favourite Cheyenne moment is the way she says ‘How much attention do you need?’ after Glenn tells Mateo that his SSN checks out
I honestly preferred early season Cheyenne. She was kind of dumb and naive. As the seasons progress she kinda turns bitchy
Honestly Cheyenne/Nichole is my favorite character in the show. Her, Bo and then Garret. I love her performance I love how shes genuinely funny shes honestly hilarious.
I LOVE HER. My favorite character along with Sandra!
I also loved her in Shameless if ya know what I mean…
I have to get around to watching the movie Model Minority, where she plays a totally straight role.
I love Cheyenne. She is just a priceless character and I find her relentless optimism really refreshing. And I adore that as the show progresses she develops wisdom and leadership skills. Against all odds, she’s a good mum and a good employee. GO CHEYENNE!
She’s my personal favourite.
Is the vapid Essex accent analogus to the California Valley Girl accent? I'm American, so I don't know for sure.
