Charlie Spring is one of the two protagonists in the Alice Oseman graphic novel series Heartstopper as well as its 2022 Netflix adaptation, where he is portrayed by Joe Locke.

Charlie Spring is the boyfriend of Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) in the graphic novel series Heartstopper and its 2022 Netflix adaptation.

Outside of the Heartstopper franchise, he also appears in other works by Alice Oseman, such as Solitaire, Nick & Charlie, and This Winter.

Due to frequent bullying, being outed, and the toxic relationship with his ex-boyfriend Ben Hope, he suffers from multiple mental illnesses, primarily anxiety, anorexia, depression and OCD.

When he confides in Nick about his struggles with self-harm, it not only deepens their bond but also exemplifies Charlie's bravery in confronting his demons.
