I also think charlie slater should return soon, especially as the slater family that started to descend in 2010/2011 are now pretty much all back together (Big Mo, Stacey, Lily, Kat, Alfie, the Kids), and I can't understand why dtc hasn't brought charlie back full time? Despite the cast wanting him to return, and him being willing! I'd much rather see charlie rather than have 'kush' and dean, and 'tosh' and lee etc... I miss little scenes like charlie and Patrick drinking together in the vic, and the slaters shouting their face off, whilst he orders peace

I agree with you I would love Charlie to return... I can see him returning soon though. If not a regular then a guest.

Nooooo. Well, I wouldn't be opposed to a guest return but by no means should he come back full time!

It would be a disgrace if he wasn't brought back after the slater fire!

If he doesn't turn up after the spoiler, DTC will have made a big mistake.

Charlie is not really that interesting. I think the group of oldies we have now are set and don't need adding to, with the exception of Sylvie.

We have a decent sized cast, too many more and we will have characters who are predominantly in the background.

No thanks
I am shocked he lasted he did. The odd apperance is nice. With Kat now being a mum to twins, i would expect Charlie to pay a visit.

I think he was kept on to ensure there wss a link for Kat to return. As soon as she did he was carted off.

Exactly! Charlie & Jean need to come back full time!!

The Slaters were a excellent little family back in 2009 - With Charlie, Big Mo, Jean & Stacey. There were only four of them and they worked sooo well.

Now we additionally have
Kat - who is a shell of a character since her return, but I can tolerate her and Jessie is a good actress and given some great scenes since her return to be fair. She works sooo much better without Alfie.
Alfie - who i is completely intolerable since his return. Seems to evil stare Stacey or Big Mo anytime he thinks they are taking too much of Kat's time from him. If you ask me, the Moons are like a mold that won't go away for the Slaters. EE really need to get a grip and some balls and get rid!
The 4 kids - Just seems like a bit too much!

We also barely see Big Mo still. Her and Charlie were more or less supporting characters, but they were still better in that role than a lot of the actual cast like Fatboy, Dexter, Abi, Johnny and even Cora!

Charlie should never have been axed. It was Kirkwood's first big mistake. He may been be seen as deadwood but he was an important background character and in some cases background characters are more important than the main characters. Not only do they provide familiarity, they also are crucial to prop the A list characters and that was Charlie's job. Kat was a mess of a character in 2010/2011 because she had no one there to be her prop up. Jean was used but didn't work because for some reason Kirkwood treated Jean as more of a comedy character. Kat needed her dad and things would have been very different for her character during those years if that father/daughter relationship had still been a screen presence. So part of the reason Kat was so badly written during this period is because Charlie wasn't there.
