Charlie returns to Walford to
spend some quality time with his family unaware
that it'll turn out to be his final visit.
Kat is delighted when Charlie and Mo arrive on the Square
together, but she's soon distracted when Sister Ruth also comes to see
her.
Wanting Kat to know the truth about her past, Sister Ruth finally drops
the bombshell that she has a long-lost son out there somewhere. She also reveals that another family member
has known the truth all along.
Once Sister Ruth has gone, Kat angrily demands
the truth from her family and is horrified to realise that Mo was the individual who knew everything.
Charlie
had no idea, but as tensions run high and Kat furiously confronts Mo,
he struggles to cope with the pressure of the difficult situation and
suffers a sudden heart attack.
As a seriously-ill Charlie lies on the sofa,
Kat takes control and waits for the ambulance to arrive. Charlie tries
to talk to Kat and begs for her forgiveness over the family's past
mistakes, but it all becomes too much and she goes to wait outside for
the ambulance instead.
Once the paramedics
arrive, they break the tragic news that there's nothing they can do as
Charlie has died, but did Kat get a chance to say a final farewell to
her dad before he slipped away?
