Katy Harris and Charlie Stubbs?

i was just a little kid when they were in it but i remember the characters cos i used to watch corrie in 2004/2005 sometimes with my family but i didn't become a regular watcher til late 2012

their names just stick in my head i dunno why! was Katy the one who killed her dad? and Charlie the violent builder who went out with Maria?

Katy was pretty fit from what i remember!

both characters died didn't they?

Yes, Tracy killed Charlie and Katy committed suicide.

As for the characters I wasn't a fan of Charlie.

Katy Harris was friends with Sarah before she started dating Martin then their friendship ended.

Didn't Katy kill Tommy because he lied to her that Martin was having an an affair which resulted in her having an abortion?

I loved Charlie Stubbs. He went into witness protection and moved to Emmerdale under the name of James Barton and was pushed off a bridge by his wife Emma which killed him and caused a huge car accident!

Guy never seems to catch a break.

Maybe he will find better luck on Albert Square.

The scene where Charlie ripped Shelley's earrings out of her earlobes makes me cringe even now just thinking about it.

Slept with Shelley's mother, tried it on with Liz, dated Tracy and cheated on her with Maria.

Charlie was a nasty piece of work.

Here's the "Killer Katy" promo that they did for Katy Harris in 2005:

BIB - yes, she smashed his head in with a wrench (I think - it was definitely a tool) in the garage. Her mother, Angela, took the blame and as far as we know is still serving a life sentence. Diabetic Katy then committed suicide by eating sugar. Younger brother, Craig, stuck around for years afterwards and dated Rosie Webster when she was a goth and clever.

Tommy and Martin had been quite close before Martin started dating Katy - in fact, Tommy had helped Martin rescue Gail, Sarah, David and Bethany when Richard HIllman drove them into the canal.

Charlie Stubbs was a great villain and while at least 90% of what he did was horrible, he was great to watch. He rescued Sunita and Dev from the fire Mad Maya started to manipulate Shelley and he told some random girl he hooked up with behind his girlfriend's back that his name was Jason Grimshaw so she left the resulting baby on Eileen's doorstep as well as abusing Shelley, trying to drown David, cheating on every woman he was with in the show and generally being unpleasant.

One of the good things he did was save Roy from some bloke that was bullying him in his cafe once

Yeah, and that happened on Christmas Day 2006 just when Jason was getting back together with Sarah as well.

Wasn't it Charlie who encouraged Jason's cod feet the first time he and Sarah were going to get married - ie the time Jason climbed out the window at the registry office and ran away?

Tracy murdered Charlie Stubbs. It was shocking for everyone on the street, but they look back and laugh about it now.

Tracy and her wacky ways! Will that gurning scamp ever change?

Charlie Stubbs was vile, a bit like Phelan now. No doubt he was a forum favourite too.

Yes, poor guy seems to have a knack for being killed off in soaps. I used to hate that smug smile which he took from Corrie to Emmerdale though have to say it gradually disappeared so that at his end in Emmerdale it had completely vanished. Shame he got killed off (again).

Tracy bought the shoes with money he gave her for an abortion (she wasn't pregnant) as well as guilt tripping Charie into letting Amy live with them.

She murdered Charlie because he was cheating on her with Maria (and had previously cheated with Shelley) and was going to throw her out of his house (co-incidently, it was the same house Katy Harris had lived in!)

Also Tracy was pretending that Charlie was abusing her. She had Claire Peacock next door convinced. I remember the scene of Tracy burning herself with the iron and lied to Claire that Charlie had done it. She did all this so she could make it look like she'd killed him in self defense.

Katy left behind a suicide note confessing to Tommy's murder. Angela was on remand at the time and the charge was dropped but she was convicted of conspiring to pervert the court of justice and sentenced to I think eight years. So she should be out by now but with all her family having long since moved on there was no need to mention it.

Also let it be said Charlie pushed and pushed Tracy to 'breaking' point. I think Charlie gave her a knife after one of their rows and told her to stab him, but she was shaking. As if to prove he owned her.

She did a little lapdance to Oasis and the rest is history.
