I'm a pessimist, but I do have evidence to back my claim - Rebecca Cotswolds, Kelly, Tammy Warner, etc. The vast majority of character girlfriends have disappeared after their debuts. In addition, we haven't seen Thomas, Bradley, and plenty of male characters. Most of the main members of the girls' group have been around for several seasons and were never formally introduced. Characters that stick around are usually background characters expanded, like Butters, Craig, Clyde, etc. rather than new kids.

Now, is it possible Nichole may stick around? Sure, maybe. It's not out of the question we'll see her make a background cameo, ala Thad Jarvis or Lorraine from "Butterballs". But I've gotten my hopes up plenty of times before and been let down - for example, where's Sally Darson from "Butters' Bottom Bitch"? Any of the Ugly Kids from "The List"? How about Mandy from "Douche and Turd"? Take note that Pete Melman's still yet to make a physical appearance despite having a crucial role in "Bass to Mouth"

"Cartman Finds Love" is an extremely frustrating episode for someone who has deal with shippers on a nearly daily basis.
