The dodgy detective was shot by Dawn Taylor in self defence last year.
Harriet and Dawn originally buried him in another man’s grave. However when the true occupant’s daughter wanted her dad’s body exhumed, Will and Harriet moved his body to Home Farm.
Shortly after his arrival, Charles noticed that a grave had been disturbed.
In last night’s episode of the soap (Wednesday, January 6), Bob Hope began to ask Charles questions about his personal life and Charles became defensive.
Fans have started to think that Charles could be an undercover police officer.
