Victor's new wife, as of the end of season 3.
----
* IdenticalStranger: Same curly hair, same general build, same wardrobe, same firm-but-fair attitude, even the same ''laugh''... Nicole is so much like Penelope, you almost have to wonder if Lydia somehow had twins and didn't know. Amusingly, literally everyone ''but'' Victor notices this.
-->'''Alex:''' Papi's got a ''type''.
* NiceGirl: She's an extremely warm and friendly woman... which drives Penelope nuts.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; one of the moms from Alex and Elena's school is named Nikki.

Schneider's father. Also, the ''worst''.
----
* AbusiveParents: Oh, God, yes. He neglected Schneider his entire childhood, to the point of never ''once'' telling his son he loved him. He's very open about considering Schneider to be a total failure who isn't worth his time.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He keeps a polite, genial tone while saying some of the most infuriating lines imaginable.
-->'''Alex:''' Nice suit.\\
'''Mr. Schneider:''' Oh, thank you. A little boy like you made it for me.

The writers were clearly trying to make him as detestable as possible -- and, if fan reactions are anything to go off of, they ''succeeded''.
* KnightOfCerebus: In one episode, his presence nearly leads to the Alvarezes moving out of the apartment, and [[spoiler:pushes Schneider off the wagon]].
* LackOfEmpathy: His character in a nutshell. Who cares if going condo will put families out on the street? It's a good business decision! Who cares if offering a bottle of tequila to a RecoveredAddict is a wildly inappropriate thing to do? It's Don Julio Real! Who cares if his parenting style has left his son with emotional issues and substance abuse problems? He needed to toughen up!
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's sexist and racist, and so smug about it that it's all Penelope can do to keep herself from throttling him on the spot. This quote really says it all:
-->'''Schneider:''' He said [Avery would] make a great first or fifth wife. That's the highest compliment.\\
'''Elena:''' How is that a compliment?\\
'''Schneider:''' Well, the first wife is for breeding, the second is for spite, the third is to forget the second, the fifth is 30 years younger so it circles back to breeding, and of course, traditionally, the fourth wife's Asian.
* SerialSpouse: Schneider implies he's been married a ''lot''. At least once to Schneider's former nanny.
