I have been wondering what Charlie's biggest problem is. I think she often talks for the sake of talking. In my opinion one of her biggest problems is that she just doesn't seem to have many firm views on issues. Charlie is constantly seeking approval on her own opinions and if you don't agree with something she has said there is a good chance she will back down or change her language to be in line with your thoughts. I know young children who have more conviction & tact in what they say whilst in conversation with others.

What do you think?

Yes her mum must take some of the blame.

[CaudleHalbard]

Biggest problem seems to be some sort of emotional retardation.

Or it may be cos her grandma died on top of her! Lol!

Without a doubt (just as pointed out on Saturday night) her controlling mother. She has never been able to have her own views so just doesn't know how as a grown up.

Agree 100%

Jackie not only dictates to Charlie what to think but why.

When Charlie gaffed about feeling fat in front of Wolfy she had to seek out Jackie to explain why? Likewise she needed her mother's counsel to sort out the Hazel's ex boyfriend suicide gaffe when it was obvious why it was a horrendous and insensitive qustion.

As Jemima correctly pointed out in row with Jackie (but worded poorly) Jackie treats Charlie like a baby and does her thinking for her. When asked if she'd date Dexter, Charlie never got to answer as Jackie confidently laughed "no way", whereas Charlie was probably going to say "not sure, maybe not but not sure".

Charlie also has poor communication skills

She's not grown up that's for sure.

One of them is definitely her inability to listen or take on board what anyone else says, she just puts her head down, stares at the floor and continues whatever diatribe has just entered her head.

Whatever can Callum see in her that we can't?

Callum sees a " beautiful, beautiful girl who can Soar !

Maybe they are perfect for each other - they can chat s***e to each other all day

Her gameplan.

It all goes t*ts up when she drinks.

[Ammi]

..she doesn't seem to have any social skills or sense of boundaries in how she interacts with people which I find odd because her mum seems fine around people...

[CaudleHalbard]

I wish Dexter and Callum could, JOINTLY, take her aside and tell her a few home truths.

That would spoil the game plan somewhat!

I think she is still missing her mom, understandable tbh, give it a few more weeks and she will be ok, she's a very sweet girl but she is struggling without her mom.

She's TWENTYSEVEN!!! as both she and her mother yelled nearly every day!

..I'm not sure she will tbh, I thought she was maybe shadowed by Jackie's personality and I wanted to see her on her own but now that we have, I feel the only 'interesting' thing about her is the attentions from Dexter and Callum and their dynamics..Charlie on her own doesn't seem to have much character other than to say the wrong thing which isn't even to the extent of being amusing...it's just irritating....

..oh thanks fingers, I didn't realise she was as old as that, she really is quite immature for her age...

It is unnatural for someone Charlie's age to be unable to cope without her Mum after a week or so.
The mother is too controlling and does not allow her to make her own descisions.
