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
