Charlotte Hoyle is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Becky Hindley.

The character first appeared on-screen during the episode airing on 9 April 2010 and departed on 10 December 2010 after being murdered by John Stape (Graeme Hawley).

Speaking of Charlotte's popularity, Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson commented: "I think that Becky Hindley has done an amazing job.

He initially pretends to be working for the examination board, but when Charlotte notices Colin's name on the same attendance list and is stopped by John from correcting the matter with the organisers, he is forced to confess his deception.

John is startled when Charlotte turns up on the Street with the claim that Colin is returning home, but when he questions her further, it transpires that she had only received text messages stating that he was not completely happy in Canada.

However, Charlotte makes great play of knowing John's secret, both to him and Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) when she finds them together in The Rovers Return Inn.

In the subsequent days, Charlotte continues hanging around John for support, claiming she is very worried and scared of the consequences of their actions.

In November 2010, John visits Charlotte again at her new school, suspecting her of sending threatening letters, making silent phonecalls and leaving a C-shaped wreath and flowers outside Underworld for Colin.

John begins to dial 999, but after hearing an explosion, he runs outside and sees that The Joinery bar has blown up and a tram has careened off the viaduct, and crashed into the street.

[3] Milton Haworth from Great British Life called Charlotte a "bunny boiler" who had a "nasty end at the hands of serial killer John".
