Mild-mannered cabbie Charlie Slater is the glue that holds his troubled family together. As the Slater girls lurch from crisis to crisis, it’s their dear old dad who is their rock.
The storms that have battered the Slater family have been many – from the revelation that Kat was Zoe’s mother, to Little Mo’s domestic abuse and subsequent rape, Lynne losing her baby, and Stacey’s bipolar diagnosis. But without Charlie’s support, and endless mugs of tea and sympathy, it’s unlikely they’d have weathered them.
