Martin and Cheryl ,season 1.

singer Martin Morero. They became a hot couple in the celebrity world, and Cheryl fully enjoyed her luxurious, rich and glamorous life. The fame turned her into a materialistic person, and she has a huge, full of designer clothes wardrobe. At the beginning of the first season, Cheryl and her husband move to 't Gooi, into an extravagant villa.

At the Gooi, Cheryl desperately tried to socialize, which eventually worked through her tolerance and spontaneity. Her marriage has often been on the edge of ending, since both her and her husband are not the most monogamous people in the world. Cheryl is frequently annoyed by Martin's attempts to emotionally bribe her with valuable items and his narrow-minded behaviour. In turn, Cheryl's bossy attitude and high-maintenance often get on Martin's nerves. Cheryl craves being in command at the house, which Martin feels often held short by. Cheryl can also be described as impatient and vain. Whatever comes in her mind, she says out loud. This sometimes causes friction with her husband and friends.

Cheryl herself is unemployed, which she has no problems with, but she sometimes does little projects like launching her own perfume or being the face of a "slim fast"-product.

The settling in their new home passes off in chaos, and they even have an upcoming welcoming party to plan.

She explains how her lap-dog compensates for a miscarriage, and to investigate Martin's suspected infidelity, Cheryl hires private detective Holtrop, who soon brings pictures of him kissing someone.

Season 5

Martin and Cheryl return from their honeymoon, and Cheryl seems to have finally found happiness. Though, at dr. Rossi's, she claims she is "too happy", thus afraid that everything can fall apart in the blink of an eye. She fanatically tries to conquer the position of being Roelien's weddingplanner, together with Yari, but is turned down two times in a row. The first threat of her perfect life seems to be aunt Cor, who is around 24/7, and has let in paparazzi at the Morero's, while them being away on honeymoon themselves. Cheryl tells Martin to draw a line with Cor and they come to blows at her appartment. Cor apologizes later on. Cheryl and Yari then organize garage-sale, as Martin and Cheryl's wardrobes are bulged with clothes. This earns them a nice profit. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Barry and Cheryl, when the latter one wishes to take Barry's place as Martin's manager to keep up his agenda. Barry subtly threatens Cheryl at the garage sale. However, Barry is fired and Cheryl now tries to do Martin's event organizations. Meanwhile, Remy is going to kindergarten for the first time. Cheryl instantly misses him as she is now free from full-time motherhood. Now knowing the importance of appearance with the other moms, Cheryl puts on her finest look; but forgets to take Remy with her instead. As Cheryl seems to be incapable of handling Martin's busy work scheme, making mistakes which fall hard on Martin, she herself suggests they hire a p.a. Though she firmly wishes to do the selection procedure herself, expecting her husband to go for a blonde, brainless chica anyway. At first, Cheryl is happy when Ilona de Vries, Evert's former secretary, announces herself. With Ilona, Cheryl thinks Martin is safe from any temptations; but is unpleasantly surprised when Yari turns Ilona into a queen. Cheryl becomes greatly jealous of Ilona, as the latter one takes up all of Martin's time now. Seeking help from aunt Cor, fails disastrously, as Cor and Martin turn against her for her misplaced suspicions.

Cheryl's annoyance with Ilona being around her husband 24/7 grows progressively; she and Martin come to blows when Cheryl finds out Martin has bought Ilona an expensive watch. Of course Martin tries to calm her with giving her his credit-card, but Cheryl's pride stops her from doing that. Anouk suggests her to emphasize her own personal strengths: her sex-appeal. So Cheryl and her friends start to take sensual pole dancing lessons. Chery sucks at first, but proves to be skillful on the pole later on. When Cheryl is caught in practicing her act by nemesis Ilona, she is very embarrassed. However, she is overjoyed when Martin tells her Ilona is gone for good. Meanwhile, the Moreros have several unpleasant encounters with their new neighbours: the Callewaerts, an uptight, snooty, intellectual couple who strongly frown upon Cheryl and Martin's loud voices and trespassing dog Sinatra. The Callewaert's hand over their request for the Moreros to lower their noise by letter, which ignites a lasting conflict. We then learn Tippi Wan has returned, disguised as the Callewaert's au-pair...she at first tries to heat up the neighbour's battle by using Misty the cat. Tippi continues to set Misty free in the Morero's house and garden. When Cheryl sees the cat defecating in Remy's sandbox, she threatens Carla Callewaert to kill Misty if she'd see her again on their property. When Misty is murdered (obviously by Tippi), Carla immediately suspects the Moreros. To show their compassion, Martin and Cheryl offer to pay for the cat's funeral; which is, to their unpleasant surprise, in Tuscany. Cheryl hates to be called insensitive, so she desperately wants to give in to their request. This somewhat means the end of the war with the Callewaerts. In the fourth episode, Cheryl is the one who finds out about Evert having secretly got himself a vasectomy, in order to prevent Roelien from getting pregnant. Cheryl is disgusted by this backstabbing and threatens Evert to tell Roelien the truth several times, only to be seized by Roelien herself; Roelien is dismayed how Cheryl didn't tell her about the vasectomy herself. Cheryl apologizes and offers to help at Roelien's toad traveling project. However, Cheryl ruins everything when she runs over a group of toads with her car, leaving Roelien in rage again. In the sixth episode, Cheryl becomes suspicious of the Callewaert's maid, and she is reminded of her former au-pair herself. This leads to Cheryl having a series of panic attacks; first when she is convinced Tippi has taken her heels with Remy in a shopping cart at the supermarket. Then, she is at the kindergarten to pick up Remy, only to learn he has already been picked up. She instantly thinks Tippi has kidnapped him again, calling the police. Luckily, she soon learns Remy has been picked up by no one other than aunt Cor. When Tom tells her he has seen Tippi, Cheryl is absolutely sure Tippi has returned. Heading home, she is shocked to see Tippi's dead body; Cor has unintentionally killed the evil au-pair, after attempting to abduct Remy. Cheryl is freaked out when Martin and Cor bury Tippi's corpse in their backyard, concealing the crime in order to protect Cor from going to jail. Her mind is hung up on having her arch-enemy buried in her own garden. Meanwhile, Cheryl helps Yari by realizing his dream of having his own fashion show. This ends in an unpleasant surprise; the Moreros discover they are complete bankrupt, due to Martin, who has signed a few papers that caused Barry to legally drain their bank account. They now have a € 1,400,000 debt and Cheryl is depressed, as Yari helps her sorting out her wardrobe. Her friends think she is going through menopause at first, but are just as shocked to find out about the crisis. Claire advices the Moreros to sell their villa and leave 't Gooi. They realize it is their only way out, so they put their house to sale. Cheryl and Martin move back to Amsterdam; right from where they came from, to start over.
