Eastenders BBC ONE at 19:30/7:30PM
Eastenders repeat BBC THREE at 22:00/10:00PM

Hi there folks! User747 here, welcome to my ninth thread of 2015! As we progress through into October, we see the continuation of this year's Autumn storylines. We will see a number of storylines taking place including judgement day for Max Branning, Jane's shocking courtroom revelation, Justice for Linda Carter, Carol Jackson's exit with Robbie Jackson and of course Kathy Beale's reuniting with son Ian Beale.

Charlie Cotton:

So today marks the last noted episode for the character of 'Charlie Cotton'- played by Declan Bennett. Charlie Cotton was first seen on our screens last year on 10th March 2014 accompanying a police woman who was informing Dot Cotton (June Brown) that her son, 'Nasty Nick Cotton' (John Altman) has died of a heroine overdose. He later reveals to Dot that he is infact her grandson and son of Nick and Yvonne (Pauline Mclynn). Although Dot struggles to accept Charlie, he helps with the arrangements of Nick's funeral.

Eventually it is revealed that Charlie had lied about being a police detective (really working as a caretaker) and he had helped Nasty Nick fake his own death. As Carol is first to find out that Nick is alive, she orders Charlie to do a DNA test to prove he was Dot's grandson, in which he is revealed to be her grandson. During this time he develops a relationship with Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) after she ran over Lola Pearce by accident and she later reveals she is pregnant with their son Matthew Mitchell-Cotton.

While walking across the square one night, Charlie proposes to Ronnie and she accepts as Nick watches on. When Nick arrives demanding money from Charlie and Ronnie to keep his fake death a secret from his 'Ma' Dot, he begins a feud with Ronnie which ultimately ends up in Nick cutting the breaks of her and Charlie's wedding car, leaving Ronnie in a coma. Charlie's son Matthew is born via emergency caesarean as Ronnie still lies in a coma. Charlie soon discovers that Nick was responsible for the crash and disowns him along with Dot.

When he is informed with Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) that Ronnie may have extreme brain damage when she fails to wake from her coma, the pair end up bonding due to grief and have sex. Upon learning Dot had killed Nick, Charlie gives a statement trying to get her released but is arrested and charged with assisting an offender and given a suspended prison sentence. When Ronnie wakes up from her coma, Charlie admits to Roxy that he loves her but after seeing Ronnie with Matthew, he decides that he cannot leave her and asks Roxy to leave Walford.

Charlie and Ronnie eventually separate when Ronnie grows suspicious of him and Roxy and grows bored of him then having sex with Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood). Charlie tells Roxy he has married the wrong sister and they plan to flee to France with Matthew. It is later revealed Roxy and Ronnie are both teaming up on him but Charlie late discovers this and attempts to leave with just Matthew. Ronnie convinces him to leave Matthew behind, knowing that his actions are foreshadowing the wickedness of his father Nick. He leaves Matthew behind at the station and leaves on the train. The next day Dot rings Charlie to convince him to fight for custody.

So after more than a year on the show, tonight is the last appearance for Dot's beloved grandson and son of Nasty Nick. Thank you Declan Bennett for the brilliant portrayal of Charlie Cotton and I wish good luck to you for new work opportunities.
I hope you all enjoy tonight's episode,
User747.

Cheers for the thread!

Good evening to one and all.

So see ya Charlie boy, and next week in comes Scott Neal

Looking forward to the next four or five week, apparently Halloween is to be MASSIVE! But as they say that every time they are looking for viewers I would tend to ignore it, but with all the Kathy re-uniting scenes to come I might choose to be a bit more optomistic this time.

Do we have any ideas what's happening with Halloween? It is being heavily spoken about with no real substance. Also any ideas why Charlie is back tonight.

Same Charlie's gone after tonight. He really only was brought back for Nick [and the arrival of Vincent was the final shovel in his lifespan].

And poor Dot. Alone again.
