OVERVIEW Charlie Fairhead is the only original character currently remaining on the show. Over the last twenty years Charlie has served as the department's Nurse Manager. He has always demonstrated a passion for the patients' welfare and a strong sense of medical ethics. Charlie has always shown tremendous nobility: in the opening scene of the first episode of Casualty, Charlie arrived in an ageing Volkswagen Beetle; it transpired he had sold his previous, more desirable car to pay for his mother's operation. Charlie has had had various on-screen relationships over the years. The love of his life though was Barbara "Baz" Wilder - another original character. Baz left Casualty after the first season but returned nearly a decade later. Trapped in an unhappy marriage she pursued a relationship with Charlie, ultimately becoming pregnant with their child Louis. Baz divorced her husband and married Charlie. The marriage however was later dissolved after Baz went for a job in America. Baz briefly returned to the series to be by the bedside of her ill father but ended up dying after being involved in a road accident. Charlie himself has been brushed with death on several occasions including a shooting, a hit and run involving a stolen ambulance, a coronary embolism and most recently an attempted drowning. He recently returned to the series after a six month sabbatical. After Charlie's return he decided to work fewer hours so he stepped down as Clinical Nurse Manager, giving the job to Tess Bateman. He is now holding her original position of Charge Nurse. Charlie has also appeared in Casualty spin-offs '' Holby City '' and '' Holby Blue '' in crossover storylines. EXTERNAL LINKS |
