Charlotte Hoyle was a fictional character in the UK television ITV soap opera Coronation Street. The character first appeared onscreen during the episode airing on 9 April 2010 and departed on 10 December 2010 after being murdered by John Stape (Graeme Hawley). She was played by Becky Hindley.
Charlotte is seen briefly at Colin Fishwick (David Crellin)'s leaving party to Canada in April 2010. Two months later John attends an examination marking conference and is horrified to find Charlotte is there. John had previously checked the attendance list to ensure that none of his old colleagues were present but he had only checked by school name, not knowing that Charlotte had left Weatherfield Comprehensive. 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. Charlotte confesses that she now finds John exciting whereas she previously thought he was boring and insists that he take her for a drink.
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. Fiz demands that John give up his deception and resign from the school. Meanwhile, Charlotte implies that she will only remain silent about the identity theft if John sleeps with her, much to his dismay.
When Colin suddenly returns to Weatherfield, Charlotte helps John to tell Colin what he has been doing in his absence. Charlotte is horrified when Colin suddenly collapses and dies during an argument with her and John. Under pressure from John, she helps him hide Colin's body in the charred remains of the Underworld factory, and when the factory is refurbished the body is buried under concrete. Charlotte also helps John collect Colin's belongings from his boarding house and burn them. In the subsequent days, Charlotte continues hanging around John for support, claiming she is very worried and scared of the consequences of their actions. Fiz soon becomes suspicious and believes that they are having an affair and storms round to Charlotte's house. Fiz smashes up Charlotte's living room and warns her to stay away from John. Charlotte tells Fiz that John is still teaching, despite telling her he had handed in his notice, Fiz then temporarily leaves John. When John finds out about this, and after Charlotte makes another pass at him, he tells her he finds her repulsive and has no feelings whatsoever for her.
