 Charlie's first relationship is with Roman Harris (Conrad Coleby), which was confirmed by Coleby via an interview in TV Week. Roman initially rejects Charlie's advances; until she goes on a date with Angelo Rosetta (Luke Jacobz). Anderson told The Sun that Angelo "surprises" Charlie by organising a starlit picnic for her. When Roman finds out he "confesses that he adores her and they share a passionate kiss". Coleby told TV Week that Charlie and Roman's first kiss is a "strange moment". The pair get off to a bad start because of a misunderstanding. Coleby said that Charlie is "feisty" and Roman finds that attractive. He added that Roman was not on the rebound after splitting up with Martha MacKenzie (Jodi Gordon) because Roman ended it. Coleby said that his daughter, Nicole Franklin (Tessa James) creates problems with Charlie because Roman "has his hands full" with her. Charlie's has headstrong expectations of herself and also expects the same from those around her. This trait often causes problems for her romance with Roman.
