After losing the premises to his tattoo parlour, Foz decided to go back to college and he became a part-time lecturer and MA student at Hollyoaks Community College. He has a free spirited New Age mother (Willow) who made a brief appearance. According to Willow, she spent Foz's childhood taking him touring round circus and women's camps.

As of 2 January 2007, Foz has left Hollyoaks as a result of a higher calling; to serve and assist the impoverished of Goa. Nancy had agreed to go with him, but changed her mind at the last minute.

Charles Adam "Charlie" Dean is the son of Becca Hayton and Justin Burton (Chris Fountain), Becca gave birth to him after being sentenced to imprisonment after alleged under-age activity with Justin. After Charlie was born, it was unknown whether Justin or her husband Jake Dean (Kevin Sacre) was his father. Becca originally gave Charlie to Jake, but when Justin firsts meets Charlie after stealing Jake's car Justin realizes he is the father. Jake's sister Steph Dean (Carley Stenson) convinced Jake to take a paternity test in January 2007, but Jake destroyed the results and assumed the role of Charlie's father, along with his wife and Becca's sister, Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox). In February 2007, Becca was stabbed in prison, and dies afterwards, and Charlie never got a chance to see her.

In May 2006, Becca discovered that she was pregnant but was unaware of whether the father was Jake or Justin, whom she had been having an affair with. She initially kept the pregnancy from Justin, and let Jake believe that he was Charlie's father. However, in July 2006, Becca and Justin's affair was revealed and Jake realised that he may not be the father.

Becca chose Justin over Jake, but later changed her mind and went back to Jake, deciding that Jake would be the father, regardless of the paternity. Justin reported Becca to the police for their affair, and lied that they had begun a sexual relationship when Justin was 15. Becca was arrested and imprisoned, but in December 2006, she went into labour at her sentencing and gave birth to a son in hospital. She named the baby Charles, nicknaming him Charlie. Charlie stayed with Becca in prison. Justin eventually admitted to lying, and Becca was released. However, in February 2007, on the day she was released, Becca was stabbed by Fran Hathaway and she died in hospital.

In June 2008, Nancy took Charlie to the hospital, worrying about his high temperature. Charlie was diagnosed with leukaemia, and Jake was tested to see if he was a match for Charlie. Jake discovered that he was not a match, meaning that Justin was Charlie's father. Charlie underwent chemotherapy, which was delayed when he developed an infection. When Nancy left Jake after he attempted to rape her on their wedding night, Jake withdrew Nancy's visiting rights to Charlie, which lead Nancy to seek Justin's help to win custody of Charlie from Jake.

After Jake and Justin had a fight, Justin decided to help Nancy with the custody case, not wanting Charlie to be raised by Jake. Nancy and Jake continued to argue and fight, which resulted Nancy throwing Jake out of the flat, and Jake making Nancy appear to be an unfit parent. Outside the court room, Jake goaded Nancy into exploding at him and causing a scene. Jake was awarded custody, and revoked Nancy's visiting rights.

Jake held Charlie's christening the next day, choosing Steph and Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) to be Charlie's godparents. Nancy later revealed that Jake had tried to rape her on their wedding night, and her friends Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) and Hannah Ashworth (Emma Rigby) convinced her to go to the police. Jake was arrested for attempted rape, but released. However, Steph backed up Nancy's story and Jake was exposed. Jake took Charlie in his car and drove to a remote location, attempting to kill himself and Charlie by gassing them in his car. Nancy was able to track them down and saved Charlie, but left Jake to die. However, Jake survived and came after Nancy. He attempted to take Charlie to France, but was arrested and admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Jake later confessed to the murder of Sean Kennedy (Matthew Jay Lewis) in exchange for Justin giving his parental rights to Jake's mother, Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson).

In July 2009, Justin later went on the run, taking the blame for the fire at The Loft, saying goodbye to Charlie before his departure. Jake was later released from the psychiatric hospital, but Frankie was worried about Jake's mental health and decided to give Nancy parental rights. Charlie went missing in the care of Nancy's boyfriend, Kris Fisher (Gerard McCarthy), and everyone worried that he might have been with Jake, which he had not.

Darren and Nancy later got together, and married in a surprise ceremony in February 2012, meaning that Charlie was reunited with Jake's side of the family. In October 2012, Nancy also gave birth to a son, Oscar Osborne (Ralph & Zach Norman). In December 2012, Nancy began to struggle, however, and exploded at Charlie. Charlie, believing he was unwanted, ran away. Whilst out in the woods, Charlie slipped and knocked himself unconscious when he fell onto a tree branch. He was later discovered by Seamus Brady (Fintan McKeown) and rushed to hospital. However, Charlie had only minor injuries and was discharged not long later.

Darren and Nancy hired a nanny, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey). Sienna became obsessed with taking Nancy's place in the family. She managed to drive a wedge between Darren and Nancy, and Darren chose Sienna over Nancy. However, Charlie and Oscar preferred Nancy over Sienna. After Sienna framed Nancy for a fire at The Dog in the Pond, Nancy was seen as a danger to Charlie and Oscar.

In August 2013, Sienna later told Nancy to take Charlie and Oscar and leave. Nancy sped off with them in the car, whilst Sienna injured herself and told Darren that Nancy had attacked her and kidnapped Charlie and Oscar. Nancy panicked when she saw a police car and lead a police chase into the car park of the hospital. Nancy collided with another car, swerved and crashed through the brick wall. She managed to get both Charlie and Oscar out of the car before it fell, narrowly killing them. Nancy was arrested, upsetting Charlie.

Darren and Sienna decided to move out of 1 Stockton Lane, and tried to take Charlie with them. Frankie and her husband Jack Osborne (Jimmy McKenna) tried to stop them, but Sienna blackmailed Frankie over her knowledge of her affair with Darren's half-brother Ziggy Roscoe (Fabrizio Santino). In December 2013, Sienna later kidnapped Charlie, Oscar and Frankie's foster son Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) when Nancy was released. She tried to gas them all in her car, but the police arrived and Sienna crashed whilst trying to flee. She was then arrested and Darren and Nancy eventually reconciled.

In October 2015, at the gay pride parade, Charlie witnessed Lindsey Roscoe (Sophie Austin) give Dr. Charles S'avage (Andrew Greenough) a fatal injection. Charlie was left traumatised and began having nightmares. Lindsey threatened Charlie, and he refused to speak to anyone. Nancy and Darren were concerned when Charlie began drawing dead people, and in January 2016, they eventually managed to get him to admit that he witnessed Lindsey murder Charles. However, in May 2016, Lindsey was murdered by Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle) before facing prosecution.

In March 2017, Charlie discovered that Nancy had been researching multiple sclerosis, and worked out that she was ill with the disease. Charlie researched the disease and told Oscar that Nancy was dying, and also told Darren. Darren revealed to Nancy that Charlie knew about the illness, and Nancy told them the truth, leading to them all reconciling.

In September 2017, Darren was later arrested for drug dealing and served a prison sentence. Despite his insistence, Tom took Charlie to see Darren. In October 2017, Frankie died of a stroke, and in November 2017, Charlie and Oscar read out a eulogy at her funeral. In February 2018, whilst exploring the school, Charlie and Leah Barnes (Ela-May Demircan) almost discovered Lindsey's sister Kim Butterfield (Daisy Wood-Davis), who had been kidnapped by Ryan Knight (Duncan James), but were interrupted by Leah's adoptive father Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson).

In September 2018, Nancy and Darren split when Darren's affair with Mandy Morgan (Sarah Jayne Dunn) was revealed. Charlie eventually forgave Darren and tolerated Mandy's daughter, Ella Richardson (Erin Palmer). Meanwhile, in January 2019, he took a liking to Nancy's new boyfriend Kyle Kelly (Adam Rickitt). In October 2019, Charlie and Ella sneaked into the underground tunnels during the construction of Cunningham's Grande Bazaar, and were left trapped when the crane collapsed. However, they managed to escape. Charlie discovered that Nancy and Darren had slept together when they were trapped in the tunnels looking for Charlie and Ella, but Nancy confessed to Mandy not long afterwards in December 2019.

In January 2020, Charlie began to feel ignored by Nancy and Kyle when they had relationship problems following Nancy's miscarriage. Charlie began secluding himself, opting to spend all of his time playing video games. Charlie would occasionally play with Sid Sumner (Billy Price). However, unknown to Charlie, Sid's drug dealing cousin, Jordan Price (Connor Calland), would use Sid's account to get Charlie to think that he and Sid were friends.

In May 2020, Jordan later befriended Charlie, and asked him to hold onto a package. He then started getting Charlie to hold onto drugs, but Charlie found out and confronted Jordan. To Jordan's surprise, Charlie agreed to hold onto drugs for him, for a higher price. Kyle eventually discovered what Charlie was doing, and was torn between telling Nancy or trying to help Kyle secretly. Nancy and Kyle began having problems in their marriage and ended up splitting. In June 2020, Charlie was left distraught when Kyle took his own life following years of depression, which he had managed to keep hidden from his family. Under pressure from Jordan, Sid used the situation to manipulate a reluctant Charlie into dealing drugs for him. In October 2020, Charlie later helped Juliet Nightingale (Niamh Blackshaw) convince Ella to also deal drugs. On New Year's Eve 2020, Ella refused to smuggle drugs inside her body for dealer Victor Brothers (Benjamin O’Mahoney), so she and Charlie hid in The Hutch. They were found by Jordan, unaware that he was planning to help Juliet and Sid escape from Victor. Charlie grabbed Jordan's knife and stabbed him to defend himself, but Ella grabbed a knife from the kitchen and fatally stabbed Jordan.

In the aftermath, Charlie made an immediate false confession to P.C George Kiss (Callum Kerr) and arrested. In January 2021, Charlie wasn't released on bail, and was informed by solicitor James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) that he could be facing seven years imprisonment. In March 2021, Charlie wrote a letter to Ella, explaining that he planned to tell the truth. The letter was used by Nancy as evidence to have Charlie released and Ella arrested. Charlie, however, omitted Mandy's involvement in his detaining. In August 2021, Ella was given a non-custodial sentence for Jordan's death, she moved into the Osborne’s house due to her strained relationship with Mandy. In September 2021, bonding over spending time in prison, Charlie and Ella began to grow close and embarked on a secret relationship, later exposed when Nancy mistakenly believed that Leah was Charlie's girlfriend. The pair ended up sleeping together, giving Ella a pregnancy scare. However, after babysitting Faith Savage, Ella thought that she and Charlie were ready for a baby. She discovered that she was pregnant in December 2021 and informed Charlie at Christmas.

Nancy was furious at Charlie and Ella deciding to have a baby, but came round after trying to scare them off with a training doll. In March 2022, at her first scan, Ella was informed that her baby had no heartbeat and she had miscarried. Charlie struggled to cope with the news, blaming Ella, breaking up with her and destroying their memorial tree. Charlie eventually put things right, but rejected a reconciliation. In April 2022, feeling infantilised by his family and teachers, Charlie ended up confiding in Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty), but turned on him when Eric attempted to indoctrinate him into his incel-ideologies.

Charlie soon befriended DeMarcus Westwood (Tomi Ade) but began bullying Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kauer). In July 2022, after finding DeMarcus armed with a knife, intending to use it as defence against Joseph Holmes' (Olly Rhodes) gang, Charlie warned Saul Reeves (Chris Charles). In August 2022, DeMarcus ended up in prison when Joseph used the knife to stab Saul, but Charlie defended him and DeMarcus was eventually released. In December 2022, in order to raise funds for DeMarcus' girlfriend Vicky Grant’s (Anya Lawrence) trip to Margate to visit her mother, DeMarcus threw a party at Charlie's house. Mason ended up leaking it on social media, and publicly shamed himself when he lied that he had slept with a drunken Leah.

In January 2023, Charlie's bullying of Mason escalated and he attempted to get Mason expelled from school. After learning that Mason had posted inappropriate photos of Leah online, he confronted Mason in the park and beat him unconscious. In February 2023, Charlie planned a leaving party for DeMarcus and Vicky when they planned to move to Margate, sneaking off into the woods. Vicky ended up overdosing on ecstasy from a drink Charlie and Leah had spiked to share, resulting in Vicky being moved away by social services and DeMarcus turning on the pair.

In March 2023, after Leah also rejected Charlie, he became enraged at being isolated from his friends and began purchasing weed from a drug dealer. He began acting up in school, leaving Nancy incensed as she became headteacher and was forced to expel him. In the heat of the moment, Nancy compared Charlie to Justin, leaving Charlie curious about him.
