About Charlie Spring (From https://aliceoseman.fandom.com/wiki/Charlie_Spring) Charles "Charlie" Francis Spring, portrayed by Joe Locke, is one of the two main protagonists in Heartstopper, This Winter, and Nick and Charlie, a supporting character in Solitaire, and has a cameo in Radio Silence. He is the younger brother of Tori Spring, the boyfriend of Nick Nelson, and is best friends with Elle Argent, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Tara Jones, Darcy Olsson, Tao Xu, and Sahar Zahid.  Charlie is high-strung and tends to overthink things. He is sensitive,  and has a tendency to apologize a lot, something Nick takes notice of  instantly. Charlie has a habit of masking how he feels in order to keep  others happy. Charlie is incredibly empathetic, crying when Nick breaks  down to him simply because "seeing [Nick] cry makes [him] cry". Most  people, including himself, refer to him as a "gay nerd", loving to read[3],  dogs, and playing the drums. Charlie also appreciates the arts, loving  Ancient Greek classical literature (having The Iliad and Brideshead  Revisited posters) and Keith Haring's work. Tori describes him as being  nice, a characteristic she believes is underrated and can be taken  advantage of.   About Heartstopper: Heartstopper is a British coming-of-age romantic comedy television   series on Netflix, adapted from the webcomic and graphic novel of the   same name by Alice Oseman. Written by Oseman herself, the series   primarily tells the story of Charlie Spring (Joe Locke), a gay  schoolboy  who falls in love with classmate Nick Nelson (Kit Connor),  whom he sits  next to in his new form. It also explores the lives of Tao  (William  Gao), Elle (Yasmin Finney), Tara (Corinna Brown) and Darcy  (Kizzy  Edgell). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/properfullongaypodcast/message
