(I am a Dan fan though.)

Before all that I felt Charlie genuinely liked him, and he seemed very close to Sophie too. I feel it's sad that they all turned on him. I feel that any personality change he had he was pushed into. If you are constantly day after day getting slated for being "too nice" and "fake" then of course you will snap eventually and start disliking and being less nice towards these people who are saying that to to you. But then because he gets annoyed, and because he starts to make more of an effort to be a bit more opinionated in an attempt to stop being labelled as fake, he then gets slated for acting the big lad or being aggressive.

If Jackie doesn't like him because of personality changes then fair enough (although I think she still disliked him before he ever started speaking up to her),
but then why also not dislike Dexter for the same thing?
Everyone in house hated Dexter for being a sneaky snake, gameplaying, spreading stories between people lying etc.
Suddenly he starts licking all their arses, and develops 'feelings' for Charlie and now he is a lovely person because he is being himself and "stopped his silly gameplaying".

Why isn't his new-found 'niceness' called fake? Why is he not still being called untrustworthy and a gameplayer for his sudden personality change?
[Not directing these questions solely at you btw, just asking them in general]

I just don't believe the reasons Jackie gives for disliking Callum, because she seems to have started liking Dexter for the same reasons as she dislikes Callum. - Changing personality etc.

well ive always thought callum was playing a game and still do. i think dan caught him out the same as wolfy and the mole .
one interesting thing i found was sophie saying he is cocky etc that wasn't from dam that was her and they all agreed. we dont see it all. and for her to say that was interesting.

jacky likes dexter more cause he knows how to act with people he is never nasty or bitchy unlike callum he never raises his voice. etc etc. and isnt all over charlie. he keeps a respectful distance.
plus really i just think its cause they find him amusing and interesting. where as callum is well weird.
jacky dont trust neither of them. but callum tries to hard he annoys her it seems.

i think her dislike is valid. the threatening thing prob not.
