Fantastic episode. When Darren and Tony were pulling Charlie out of the water I was in tears. Like a knife to the heart this episode and so relevant to present day 😭

[@JFH-te4lu]

I felt the same, tears and all.

[@martincurran6432]

This is so realistic. When you've decided to end your life, it's because it genuinely does seem like the pain will never end. That ending it is the only thing you can do. That the pain is forever. You feel so sad the first time you decide this, but your nerves are shot and the fire of pain is now gone, because now it is the end. Now you've reached the inevitable outcome. No more pain. It's all finally over

Wow such a powerful scene😢, brilliant actor. And it's so important to raise awareness to, Child and young adult mental health, we need to talk about this more, think it's good that you've shown it from all sides, as a parent of someone who struggles with mental health issues, I know how heartbreaking it is, seeing your child go through this and not knowing how to help them. So well done for raising awareness..

[@fairyluce20]

I had several situations like Charlie were I wrote dark poetry just for crying out for help. Sadly, one of them caught of my Performing Arts teacher and she wanted to call the Child’s service and almost got my mom arrested (when all I was asking was needing for my parents’ marriage to stop making me feel torn apart as they whispered around each other fighting.) and the bullying in school was so rough. There had been moments I’ve made attempts, thankfully none of them successful but just brought me some conditions that I live now on my everyday life. It’s exhausting to live with a mental health condition that sucks you in and you don’t see anywhere out but dive in when finally you feel like silence it and silencing it out eases it all. But at the same time it’s so scary 😢even when they didn’t saw my struggles until much later, I’m glad that now I’ve that noise more controlled. I wish for anyone who struggles, to find a way to get help even if it feels there is no way to be found, you will get it. Just breath. Keep grinding and please seek help ❤

[@a.l.y.a.m.e.d486]

With Nancy being in that states with baby Morgan. I hope Darren lets Nancy know. I hope Darren is strong enough and has enough friends to support him as does Charlie because I hope Darren doesn't struggle with his depression. That message in the sand at the end. Good thing Tony and Darren got there in time. Charlie almost died.

[@DesertKitsune]

I genuinely don't get how Darren was so thick when he had dealt with depression. He had to know that shutting down Charlie's outlet and making him feel bad about it wasn't going to help.

[@SaharaColeman]

“It’s personal” girl it ain’t that personal. Charlie is going through something right now and ditching school. Anything to help find him she should’ve showed Darren right away.

[@ChelseyLinden]

Oh my OA poor Charlie I feel so sorry for him I really love his character. I know it’s been two Years since there’s been a suicide storyline but I think having a Teenager trying to take his own life is a good awareness for once and I even wish Ethan was there with Darren helping Charlie but at least his Best Friend Tony was there with him and good thing they saved his life. I do hope he’ll get help I too know what it feels like to take your own life because I’ve been through this myself twice I never thought I wasn’t loved and nobody cared about me but I couldn’t go through with it because then I thought of my Boyfriend Addison who loves me and he talked me down. That scene with Charlie saying “you’re my real Dad” made me emotionally happy I do hope he’ll get help. 😟🤞🏻

A brilliant piece of acting. Well done to Charlie, Ashley and Nick. Unfortunately with Mental Health, you've got to get right to the very edge between life and death before you receive help.

[@mushkrose6736]

How many of guys think Charlie might die or survive in tomorrow's episode? I'm only asking because many of the articles makes it seem like Charlie might be killed off.

[@ChelseyLinden]

Mushk Rose Good question and I too have the same theory that Charlie’s exit will be in death.

[@WalkerSlayer9878]

Realistically he would already be Dead. The drive there would have possibly taken an hour or so not only that but it’s not a lake it’s the Sea meaning if someone was to actually try and commit suicide out there you wouldn’t be able to find them so easily which is y tonight’s episode doesn’t make any sense to me. Unless he’s been there for hours and Darren and Tony have been trying to find him, but then that also doesn’t add up with the Car ride to the beach, it wouldn’t make any sense for them to read minds and come across his exact spot in the ocean either. And the Tide would only drift him off further out. The writing was actually lazy for this episode. If he ain’t dead or doesn’t die due to the Water drowning his insides I’ll be majorly surprised.

Who here agrees with me that the new look for the dog 🐕🐾🐶 in the pond 🚣 is actually really good.

[@timecapsule.]

I never understood why Darren was angry about the lyrics. Surly that's a good way for Charlie to express himself?

He wasn’t angry, he was scared it just came out as anger. Darren is at a loss as to how to hell his son. In some ways Darren feels just as alone and anxious as Charlie does.

It's quite weird seeing the flashback clips of Charlie as a really young child as you can see he was originally a blond 👱 haired boy. Now he's an adolescent he had dark brunette 🧑 hair. I was originally blonde 👱 as a child and then became a darker brown 🧑 haired boy before my own adolescence and apparently this is common in many children as my dad and my two brothers were blond 👱 as children and went dark brown 🧑 eventually. Now I'm 39 and I look as bald 👴 as my dad and one of my brothers LOL! but I shave my head using a skull shaver to hide my baldness and it's hard to believe I was once a blond 👱 as it feels like such a long time ago.
