Current: Carpenter
Past: Unknown
Charlie arrived on the scene on October 25, 2007 at the Bonjour Cafe in Paris, Texas, where he was struggling with trying to find his son, Jared. After meeting Viki Davidson, Charlie had hope that he could have a life as a reformed alcoholic and make amends with his son.
When Charlie was reunited in Llanview with Viki, and dealing with Jared's unacceptance, Dorian Lord drugged him and forced him to drink again, which cost him his relationship with Viki - that and the fact that he lied for Roxy Balsom and pretended to be Rex's father!
It was a while before the truth finally came out and Charlie was able to get some control back in his life - and his problem with alcohol. Jared was able to eventually forgive his father. When Charlie helped Viki save Jared and Natalie from being blown up in Llanfair's basement, his relationship with Jared and Viki flourished!
However, the big surprise came when Charlie agreed to rebuild the Angel's Square diner and turned it into a replica of the Bon Jour cafe, touching Viki beyond words!
Charlie went on to move into Llanfair with Viki and the two soon married. Charlie was there for Viki during Tess' return, and even saved Natalie and Jared from being blown up in the secret room at Llanfair!
Later, when it appeared as though Jessica was being stalked by her dead husband Nash, Jared was implicated - and Charlie began to doubt his son's innocence. However, when it was revealed that Mitch Laurence had been behind the whole scheme, it was too late because Mitch shot Jared, who died soon after - but not before confessing to Charlie that he was blackmailed into it, as a way to cover up the fact that Charlie had killed Jared's stepfather, while he was drunk... something Charlie didn't remember!

Back home in Llanview, Clint, Viki and Charlie bring Natalie into Llanfair, who cries, "How am I going to live without Jared?" After Viki promises they'll all be there for Natalie, Natalie hugs Charlie then heads upstairs with Clint.
Charlie walks into the living room, eyeing the liquor bottles, as Viki wishes she could take away his pain. Seated on the couch, Viki and Charlie look through a photo album that Jared put together for him, and Charlie can only remember that he was drunk in every picture - accept for the ones from the past year. Charlie can't take it anymore, goes and picks up a bottle of booze and tells Viki, "There's only one thing I'm thinking about." Charlie throws the bottle across the room and screams that Jared died trying to protect an old drunk! He tries thinking back to the night of the murder, and Charlie remembers how he hated the man - because he was there for Jared when he couldn't be. Viki reminds him of what Jared said - that he and Jared's stepfather had a fight, and the man hit his head - then blames Jared's death on Mitch. "You're not a murderer," Viki says, but Charlie admits if John hadn't pulled him off, he would've killed Mitch - while stone cold sober! Charlie asks for some time alone, and Viki gives it to him, as Charlie picks up a piece of the broken bottle.
Viki goes back downstairs and tries to get Charlie to get some sleep. After Clint promises to stay there, and let him know when the police call, to release Jared's body, Charlie heads upstairs with Viki.
As Charlie strangles Mitch at the vineyard in Napa, Viki screams for him to stop, and John and Brody finally pull him off - as Mitch smirks and says, "Would it help if I said I'm sorry?" Mitch refuses to take any blame then implies that Jared grew up to be just like his father. Charlie warns that if he's ever alone with Mitch, he'll kill him - and Mitch wants John to arrest Charlie for threatening his life! John refuses, and as Charlie leaves, Mitch demands Viki's attention and calls Charlie a drunk and a murderer. As Mitch says, compared to Charlie Banks, he is righteousness itself, Viki slaps him hard across the face and snaps, "Don't you ever say my husband's name again!"
Outside, Charlie admits to Viki that he would have killed Mitch then brings up how he killed a man - and they now have to face this! Suddenly, Napa PD appears and shocks everyone by saying Mitch will be prosecuted in Napa - not Llanview! John is forced to turn Mitch over, who gives John one last smirk before he's taken away.
