Charlotte "Charlie" Buckton is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Esther Anderson. Anderson was added to the cast in a bid to add more "sex appeal" to the show. She said it was her dream job and relocated to Sydney immediately to accommodate filming. The character made her on-screen debut during the episode airing on 6 June 2008. Charlie was billed as having a "warm heart" and being "family oriented", however her actions are often misunderstood and her persona has been perceived as "brash". She is described as being "passionate about her work" and often neglects her daughter, Ruby's (Rebecca Breeds) needs. Charlie's first notable storyline was a lesbian relationship with Joey Collins (Kate Bell). The storyline was implemented by producers to boost ratings and Anderson said it helped portray Charlie's vulnerable side. The storyline angered Christian and conservative oriented family groups. They complained that Home and Away had featured sexualised plot lines unsuitable for children, and Channel Seven was inundated with parental complaints stating that children should not be exposed to same-sex relationships in a family show. Viewership declined after transmission of the storyline and producers cut scenes to attune to viewers wishes, which outraged the LGBT community. The storyline came to a natural end and Anderson and executive producer Cameron Welsh praised the plot because it portrayed a real-life situation and denounced the conservative views as outdated. Anderson stated that the storyline was a great one to portray in terms of acting.

Charlie's sexuality was sidelined and she began a relationship with Angelo Rosetta (Luke Jacobz). Throughout their romance Charlie played out various family oriented plots and was described as having strong feelings for him. Their romance was portrayed to be wayward and unstable. In 2011, their relationship ended after producers felt there were no more storylines to give to the pair. Charlie later develops feelings for Darryl Braxton (Steve Peacocke). Another notable storyline for the character saw her reveal that her supposed sister, Ruby, was in fact her daughter. Anderson said the filming process was challenging as they felt the need to get the story right. Viewers sympathised with Charlie and saw a "beautiful element" in the portrayal. The revelation ruined the on-screen relationship between Charlie and Ruby, and was never repaired. Charlie has received critical analysis through her storylines and persona and opinion has been mixed. Ruth Deller of Lowculture said Charlie had endured "scandalous-headline-grabbing-faux-lesbianity", whilst Holy Soap stated that she has a "questionable taste in men." Charlie has been ill received by Jaci Stephen of the Daily Mail because of her on-off relationship with Angelo and Stephen regularly expresses her general dislike of the character in her column. In contrast, the Daily Star liked Charlie's image, which they branded "sexy", and the Daily Record praised her for the drama she creates. Anderson's portrayal of Charlie has seen her earn various award nominations, including the "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television" and "Most Popular Actress" Logie Awards.

Casting

In May 2008, former model Anderson was recruited by Home and Away in a bid to add "sex appeal" to the show.[1] Anderson was a long-time fan of Home and Away and she said she was "thrilled" when she won the role of Charlie after an audition.[2][3] Four days after hearing that she had landed the part, Anderson had to move to Sydney from Melbourne for filming.[2] Anderson has said that her job as a model should not reflect on her acting ability. She added "For me, modelling was just an avenue that got me into acting, I have always wanted to act".[1] She also stated that the role is her dream job.[4]

Character development

Characterisation

When Charlie first arrived in the Bay, Channel Seven described her as having a "bone to pick and the prowess to do it" in reference to her father's relationship with Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances), which Charlie disapproved of because her mother had only recently died.[5] They also described her as having a "warm heart" and being "family oriented".[5] Charlie can be "misunderstood" at times, which makes her appear brash.[5] On her character, Anderson said, "Charlie is strong-willed with lots of guts and she is never afraid to show who she is, which makes her genuine and likeable".[3] Whilst interviewed by the Llanelli Star, Anderson described Charlie's responsibilities stating: "Charlie is very passionate about her work. She cares about Ruby more than life itself and is responsible for her, so these are priorities over a finding a man. I don't think it's a matter of need for her but she definitely would like someone to share her life with and that romantic element is a good balance in Charlie's somewhat serious life."[6]

Relationship with Joey Collins

"When I first saw the storyline, I knew straight away that it's an opportunity every actor looks for – to be given a challenge and a role and story to sink their teeth into, I looked forward to telling the story and working on telling it the right way."[7]

—Anderson's reaction to receiving the storyline

In 2009, Home and Away producers introduced a storyline that saw Charlie begin a relationship with another woman. Producers hoped the plot would boost the shows ratings.[8] Over five weeks, the storyline would see Charlie realise that her friendship with Joey Collins (played by Kate Bell) is beginning to develop into something else.[7] As they fall for each other, Charlie and Joey share intimate kissing and dance scenes.[8] Anderson explained that the producers came to her about the storyline and asked if she was okay with it, as it was to be emotional and it required commitment.[9] Anderson told them that she was okay with it and she said she was pleased to be given the storyline as it showed more of Charlie's vulnerable side.[9] This was Anderson's first big storyline in the show and she was required to work more hours.[9] Anderson explained that she and Bell formed a trust early on, which helped them to portray the story in the right light.[7] Anderson spoke with gay friends, so she could form an accurate portrayal of her character's feelings.[9] The storyline "throws [Charlie's] world upside down" and changes her whole identity; it surprises her.[9]

Upon the announcement of the storyline, church and conservative family groups attacked the plot. Pro-Family Perspectives director Angela Conway said "They (Home and Away) continue to market to kids and they continue to develop quite sexualised plot lines".[8] Two weeks after the storyline began airing, viewing figures for the show fell by over 100,000 and Channel Seven was inundated with complaints from parents asking for their children not to be exposed to same-sex relationships in a family show.[10] Following pressure from the conservative groups, it was announced that Channel Seven had decided to censor a kissing scene between Charlie and Joey.[10] Producers were to cut "intimate images" from a scene in which the characters share a passionate kiss.[10]

Gay and lesbian groups staged protests against the show, despite an announcement from Channel Seven saying that the episode would be shown in its entirety.[11] The broadcaster said the kiss would air as planned, but they had decided against showing a "more lusty follow up" scene.[11] Seven's head of creative drama and development, Bevan Lee, said Home and Away bosses cut the "more lusty follow up because it fitted better with the storyline".[11] Lee added that he was "saddened" that the storyline had been reduced to a "facile argument about six missing seconds of screen time and that the bulk of commentators, both conservative and liberal, are making pronouncements on story material they know nothing of".[11] British broadcaster, Five, said that they would show the kiss during their airing of the episode.[12] The channel said "Five, the UK broadcaster for Home and Away, will screen a lesbian kiss in a forthcoming episode. It forms part of a six-week long story, about the attraction between two female characters, Joey and Charlie. There will be several episodes where the characters kiss".[12] They added that the producers at Channel Seven "edit all episodes for artistic and editorial reasons only" and the storyline would remain uncompromised in its Australian airing.[12]

Esther Anderson (pictured) said the story about Charlie's sexuality reflected society.

The show's series producer Cameron Welsh and Anderson both spoke out in defence of the storyline. Welsh said, "The idea of this show has always been that we hold a mirror to society – and when society changes, we change with it. What's ahead in Home and Away is right not only for the series, but also for the times we are living in".[13] Anderson said that she felt it was the right time to tell this story and added, "It's really important for us to reflect society, and this storyline is what is going on for many people in real life".[13] She also said that she did not think the plot would be so shocking, but was glad the show was exploring a gay relationship.[13]

The end of the storyline was criticised by gay advocates after Charlie was seen having sex with Hugo Austin (Bernard Curry) and Joey left Summer Bay alone.[14] Anderson also suggested that Hugo may have been enough to "sway" Charlie towards men.[15] Some sceptics had suggested that Home and Away would not allow Charlie and Joey to remain in a same-sex relationship.[14] Anderson later admitted she had feared that the story would see her typecast as "the lesbian cop."[4] Anderson reflected on the storyline during an interview with The Daily Telegraph, saying "The Charlie/Joey (lesbian) storyline was the first time you got to see Charlie's vulnerable side. (The controversy) blew my mind - I wasn't expecting it at all. I think it was a fantastic storyline because for the first time I got to show the producers and audience what I could do."[16]

Relationship with Angelo Rosetta

Charlie's relationship with Angelo Rosetta (Luke Jacobz) has been a focal point in her storylines. They originally date, but break up after Angelo kills Jack Holden (Paul O'Brien). Charlie becomes jealous when Angelo begins dating May Stone (Alin Sumarwata) and Anderson told Inside Soap that "Charlie's feelings for Angelo are complex."[17] Charlie cannot fight her attraction to Angleo and the actress claimed that the couple would not have broken up if it had not been for Jack's death.[17] Anderson also stated that the storyline sees a new side to Charlie, jealousy. She decides to get in the way of his new relationship.[17] Anderson went onto explain: "She admits part of her wanted to cause trouble, but Angelo is still attracted to Charlie and they sleep together."[17] The actress also defends Charlie's actions claiming she did not intentionally set out to hurt May.[17] Charlie and Angeo's relationship dynamic becomes strained after Charlie refuses to give Angelo an "easy life." Although they have a "great connection between them", Anderson felt Angelo would not put up with Charlie for long because she can be "quite bossy." She also said "Charlie's got the good end of the stick and poor Angelo is in for a pretty rough ride!"[18]

Anderson later revealed that Charlie and Angelo would face tough times in 2011, stating: "They've had their fair share of hurdles – and there are more to come."[19] Charlie and Angelo split up and Anderson admitted she was happy that there is always drama in Charlie's love life and she added "I think it's going to be full-on for Ms Buckton this year. But, you know, romances in Summer Bay never last."[4] Of breaking Charlie and Angelo up, Welsh said, "The thinking behind that was to challenge the characters and do something a bit different."[20] He went on to explain that with characters who have been together a long time, there is a temptation to repeat storylines and the team wanted to change the dynamic between Charlie and Angelo.[20]

Illegitimate daughter

Another story arc saw Charlie reveal that her sister Ruby Buckton (Rebecca Breeds) is in fact her daughter.[21] Charlie gave birth to Ruby after she was raped by Grant Bledcoe (Clayton Watson), when she was younger.[22] Both Anderson and Breeds found the storyline challenging and felt they had to get it right.[21] Breeds said it made her nervous but was pleased with the end result. She said she had to let it affect her own emotions in order to effect the viewing public.[21] "The revelation ruins their relationship, and Anderson said that Charlie was "trying desperately to bridge this gap". Breeds added "Ruby just wants to get some security back, everything she thought her life was is totally up in the air". Ruby becomes confused and starts to ask herself questions such as "Where do I stand now?" and "How do I reconcile this?" Breeds said it was a "big exploration" and a journey for Ruby, with Anderson agreeing.[21] Anderson felt there was a beautiful element to the storyline and opined: "Although it is tragic, you feel sorry for Charlie and you can sort of understand where it has all come from."[21] She added that everyone feels sorry for Ruby, meaning neither are wrong. Furthermore she said, "You are just rooting for them, you just want them to get back to how they were and it is a bit of a journey."[21] Comparing the storyline to the lesbian plot she said, "Perhaps this storyline was a little bit harder, you've seen the start of this storyline and there is a lot more to come and it wasn't easy."[21]

Charlie later struggles to deal with Ruby's relationship with Casey Braxton (Lincoln Younes).[23] Discussing Charlie's motives, Anderson stated: "Ruby's at that age where she is quite impressionable, and Charlie doesn't want to see her getting hurt. She's only very recently been in a relationship with Romeo Smith (Luke Mitchell), and Charlie is concerned about her moving from one guy to the next too quickly." Anderson opined it is Darryl Braxton (Steve Peacocke) who gives Charlie her first piece of good parenting advice.[23] She concluded that Charlie's approach only causes conflict with Ruby because she is so strong-willed.[24]

Darryl Braxton

"It's a great struggle for Charlie and Brax, and it shows that you can't choose who you fall for. It's sizzling because they both want one thing, but they can't really go there."[25]

—Anderson on Charlie and Darryl

In February 2011, Darryl Braxton was introduced to the show and The Daily Telegraph reported that he was set to get to know Charlie in a future storyline.[26] Charlie meets Darryl after she comes to ask him to keep his surf gang under control. During an interview with Digital Spy, Peacocke was asked if Darryl likes Charlie romantically and he said, "For a bloke like Brax, Charlie is pretty ideal – she's smart, sexy and is strong enough to take him on. He's all about testing himself and he knows he'll be running a gauntlet if he pursues her. She's got that X-factor he can't ignore."[27] When a fight breaks out at the Surf Club, Charlie arrives to investigate and she asks Darryl to step outside, so they can talk.[28] Darryl misinterprets the situation and believes Charlie just wants to be alone with him, he then kisses her.[28] Charlie is "horrified" and she arrests Darryl for assaulting a police officer.[28] Peacocke revealed that after the arrest, "things will develop dangerously" between Charlie and Darryl and that it will be "tense to watch!"[27] Charlie is put under pressure from the community to find a more serious crime with which to charge Darryl and his gang. She believes that he is selling stolen alcohol to Angelo, but everything checks out and Darryl come to the belief that the kiss has "sparked something in Charlie."[28]

Darryl is initially unsuccessful in his attempts to win Charlie over, but Anderson hinted that her character would fall for him.[25] She said, "I think the way Steve [Peacocke] has played Brax, there is definitely enough there for Charlie to see that he has a heart and to see the good side in him as well."[25] Discussing the plot in which Charlie tried to keep Ruby away from Casey, Anderson said, "I think she's also telling herself to stay away from Brax, but Charlie can't get him out of her head."[24] Colin Vickery of The Daily Telegraph said Darryl had turned Charlie's "safe police world" upside down, and Anderson told him, "What is wonderful about this relationship is that it is forbidden love. There is this element of danger that brings excitement along with it."[16] She described the relationship as "fun and flirty" and said it shows another layer to Charlie, as it has brought out her fun side.[16] The arrival of Darryl's ex-girlfriend Tegan Callahan (Saskia Burmeister) causes Charlie and Darryl to split. However, Vickery said it was obvious that Charlie cannot stay away from Darryl for long.[16]

The Coastal News publishes a front page article about it and Charlie tells Darryl they should be together. However, Charlie finds Hayley's earring in Darryl's car and he admits to having sex with her.

Reception

For her portrayal of Charlie, Anderson has garnered various award nominations. At the 2008 Inside Soap Awards, Anderson received a nomination for "Sexiest Female".[29] In 2010, she was nominated for "Best Daytime Star".[30] That same year saw Anderson earn nominations for the "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television" and "Most Popular Actress" Logie Awards.[31] 2011 saw Anderson nominated once again for "Best Daytime Star" at the Inside Soap Awards.[32]

Catherine Deveny criticised the reaction to Charlie's lesbian plot

Holy Soap described the character's most memorable moment as "Locking lips with gal pal Joey".[22] In her book Free to a Good Home, author Catherine Deveny criticised the reaction to Charlie and Joey's same sex relationship. She called the first kiss between the couple the "TV disapointment of the year" and she nicknamed the soap Homo Go Away because the scene in which the kiss featured were diluted to suit certain viewers.[33] Of the decline in ratings during the storyline, Deveny said "Since the lesbian plotline began two weeks ago, 100,000 people have turned off. Wow! Turned off. That must be the first time the words 'lesbian' and 'turn off' have occurred in the same sentence. And all we'd seen until Tuesday was lingering touches and intense stares."[33] Deveny then explained that she would rather let her children watch lesbians on television than Christians. She then highlighted that only mothers complained to the network about their children being exposed to a same-sex relationship during a family show, not fathers.[33]

In September 2010, the Holy Soap website ran a poll to find viewers' favourite Home and Away couple, which Charlie and Angelo won with 45% of the vote. The website branded them as the "The Bay's criminally hot couple" and said they had been keeping viewers glued to their screens with their on/off-relationship.[34] They later said Charlie had a "questionable taste in men".[35] Peter Dyke, writing for British tabloid the Daily Star, branded Charlie as "Sexy" and states: "Most fellas would not mind feeling the strong arm of the law if this beauty was their local police officer."[36] The Daily Record opined that Charlie's determination to prove Grant as a rapist was "dangerously close to an obsession."[37] They also said that ever since Charlie and her family arrived in Summer Bay they have "created drama."[38]

The character was negatively received by Ruth Deller of television website Lowculture and Jaci Stephen of the Daily Mail. In May 2009, Deller placed Charlie at number five on her list of worst soap opera characters segment.[39] Deller said, "The Summer Bay cop may have lots of storylines, but the LC community don't really approve – mainly due to Esther Anderson's apparent lack of acting chops. It's like our hatred for Michelle Connor (Coronation Street) all over again, only this time with added scandalous-headline-grabbing-faux-lesbianity!"[39] In July 2009, Deller said, "It would be easy to spend every month slagging off Charlie, because there's so much to dislike". Deller also added that Charlie's daughter is "everything Charlie isn't".[40] Stephen wondered if Charlie is going through an early menopause as she always appears "to be in a sweat onscreen."[41] During a storyline, which saw Charlie decide she needs a counsellor to find her self identity, Stephen complained that it was all she seemed to mention since her "foray into lesbianism."[42] Stephen did, however, agree that Charlie needed a counsellor.[43] She also stated she could help by telling her; "Charlie: you're a mess."[42] Stephen was critical of Charlie's relationship with Angelo, which she described as a "rocky road".[44] She wanted to know how much the show could "wring out of their on/off romance" and asked if somebody could send them out to sea in a sinking boat.[45][46] Following Charlie and Angelo's 2011 break up, Stephen stated that the show needs to "change the record!"[47]

Upon seeing the beginning of Charlie's storyline with Darryl Braxton, Stephen said, "Oh, please not another Angelo – I can't go through all that again."[48] When Charlie arrests Darryl for kissing her, Stephen quipped: "That woman will do anything to get a guy in handcuffs."[49] All About Soap said Charlie and Darryl's chemistry was "clear for everyone to see" and wondered when she would stop hiding behind her "law-abiding facade".[50] When Charlie and Darryl share their "steamy moment", Erin Miller of TV Week said "It was the moment we've all been waiting for."[51]
