I think Nick is around 60, while Charlie is between 30-35.

he is around 45. he is a few years older than ian and sharon. plus charlie was away having an affair with rose and left Dot in the late 50's according to wiki, he then married rose in 63 so the years work out right I think Charlie is in his mid twenties edt. nevermind I cant add according to wiki it makes him 55 and dot 78. but in 1985 he was a few yrs older than sharon and ian not nearly twice their age or maybe you just couldnt tell |

I don't think Nick is 60 yet more like mid 50s.

Yeah was gonna say, there is no way Nick is 60. He seemed slightly older than Ian in the original episode

Nick is almost 60, he's 59 to be exact. He was 30 in 1985 when the show started.

actually when you read dot's backstory on wiki, it doesnt fit In Nick being married to Yvonne. surely in 1985 it would have been mentioned be had been married ashley was 9 in 1993, wasnt he married to his mother too. then you cant have charlie as being younger than ashley as betweeen 93-97 we are to believe nick was off with ashley and his mum and charlie doesnt look that young
I think there has been a little too much retconning |

Nick Charlie ? I'm not sure about Nick but seem to recall his funeral plaque read 1961 or 1962 making him early to mid 50s same as carol and David which would be about right. Charlie said that Nick and Yvonne met soon after Nick left reform school so he'd have still been a teenager so I imagine charlie was born about very late 70s - maybe 1980. |

Nick/john look like he is late 50s early 60s
Andrew must be 39/40ish Rose late 70s? Dotty 13 Dot is clearly in the 80s Charlie jnr is around 35 Yvonne late 50s Charlie snr and Ashley are dead. Ashley would be in late 20s now I think and charlie snr around same as dot |

I edited after I googled. I calculate it as 55. he doesnt look 60 at all.
where did you get the info he was 30 in 1985? Charlie cannot possibly be in his 20s he must be in his 30s as Ashley if still alive would be 30 now (he was 9 when he first appeared in 1993) and it was established earlier this year that Nick was married to Yvonne and had Charlie before marrying Zoe and having Ashley. |

Charlie being witth rose as well is somewhat irrelevant re timings as he was actually living with both for some years. He just used to disappear for weeks to go and be with the other. He didn't properly leave Dot until Nick was a few years old iirc. |

In 1986 when Charlie Cotton senior arrived Dot mentioned that they had been married for 32 years, she mentioned that Charlie left her after just one year of marriage just after she had given birth to Nick. So that would mean Dot and Charlie married in 1954 and Nick was born in 1955 making 30 in 1985 when the show started. John Altman who plays Nick was born in 1952 which makes him 62 and actually older than the character. By saying Nick doesn't look 60 that's a reflection on the actors appearance.

I agree that Charlie must be mid if not late 30s. Dot is certainly 76/77. Dot and nick were the unusual ones amongst the original characters in not having loads of characters around the same age as them. Dot fell between the stools of the older characters like Dot and Ethel and the lot that were 40ish and nick was younger than them but considerably older than the teenagers. I guess Ali, sue, Naima, Lofty, Debbie and Andy were the closest to him age wise. But he wouldn't socialist with them (even if they'd wanted to) due to the racism. |

Dot will be 79 in January, but June is older than Dot.
Nick has had various years of birth over the years, but in the funeral episodes, I think they said 1959, so 55. |

he left after two years and when she was pregnant tho according to dots backstory.

A normal person would tell their mother they were married and had a son but Nick is far from a normal person. And it is not as though he was close to anybody else for us to see him confide in. The people he had most scenes with were Mary and Mark. |

$so they've changed dot's birthday from 37 to 36 at some stage?
If they did change it, maybe it was because they thought it'd be ridiculous for Big Mo to be older than Dot. Big Mo was February 1936. |

I've always thought it was January 1936. I wasn't aware that she'd been changed like Ian and Nick have.
