When does her murderer get found out? I'm seriously over this storyline....
Who shot Home and Away's Charlotte King? It's the mystery that's kept most fans gripped, but one woman who has the answer is long-serving cast member Ada Nicodemou. Not that she's giving anything away, of course.
Nicodemou, who's best known for playing Summer Bay's Leah Patterson-Baker, appeared on daytime TV in Australia today (April 22) and teased fans by revealing that the cast now know the killer's identity.
"Well, you know now the actors do know," she told Network 7's The Daily Edition. "So I do actually know. I do know now.
"I'm not telling you. But at least we know it's not Zac!"
Revealing that it took a while for producers to put the cast in the picture, she added: "We didn't know. Even the killer didn't know. A lot of stuff is being leaked these days as well, so they did want to keep it quite in-house."
The 'Who Killed Charlotte?' mystery has been running over in Australia since December, when the 2015 season finale episode saw her plunge down into the sea after she was shot by a mystery culprit.
Despite arrests, clues and red herrings, fans in the UK and Australia are still no closer to uncovering what really happened that night.
It's thought that policewoman Kat Chapman will finally make a significant breakthrough in the investigation on Australian screens next month - but the transmission gap on Channel 5 means that UK fans still have a while to wait before the truth comes out.

It's the Home and Away mystery that's kept fans gripped since last year, but the wait is almost over - Charlotte King's killer will be revealed in Australia next week.
Determined policewoman Kat Chapman will discover who killed the Summer Bay villain in explosive scenes. And in a shock twist, she will then arrange to meet the murderer at the pier - the very same spot where Charlotte's body was found.
Australian viewers saw Charlotte meet her fatal end during their season finale last year, while UK fans saw the climax play out in February. Since then, there have been several suspects, arrests, and red herrings, and all the while the killer is still unknown.
Kat's breakthrough has previously been hinted at, seeing as she will decide to take on the case single-handedly following her colleague and fellow detective Dylan Carter's suspension.
Desperate to find out who committed the crime, Kat puts all her efforts into catching the culprit but her investigation will have startling results.
As Kat prepares to come face to face with a murderer - who she clearly knows well - fans will be left wondering if she is making a huge mistake. Could Kat be the next victim? And more importantly, who did kill Charlotte?
Pia Miller, who plays Kat, told TV Week: "In the back of her mind, Kat feels it's her obligation as a resident of Summer Bay.
"She feels meeting them down there will help with her interrogation. She wants justice and this case is finally going to be closed."
"Because of her relationship with the killer - and the evidence she holds - she feels she has them cornered. She is 100% ready for this confrontation. It's the moment she's been waiting for."
Kat might be coming face to face with Charlotte's killer on Aussie screens next week, but the transmission gap on Channel 5 means that UK fans still have a while to wait before the truth comes out.

I hope it is a regular cast member like Evie or Oscar or better Hunter
some on twitter suggesting it is dylan the detective, a dirty copper who did it for kat
I`ve had that suspicion for a while now. Deliberately killing Charlotte as an excuse to come to Summer Bay. And with him being the main detective he can destroy any evidence that leads to him.
It makes sense because no one would miss him when he`s gone. And what better comeuppance for him when he`s found out by either Ash or Kat.
If it is Kat's ex that is disappointing
There are a lot of people on other fan sites now convinced that Dylan is the killer (especially given his behaviour in recent episodes etc). But, I must agree that it will be extremely disappointing if it does turn out to be him. And I just have to mention what I said in a post a couple of weeks ago "With the investigation app that Ch7 put out to go thru all the main suspects etc, & then all the adverts like "all of them have a motive, but one of them did it!" & "one of your favourites is a killer!" which were being shown all the time over the summer break etc (before Dylan even arrived in SB!) & then "it is someone everyone knows really well", again, it will be really, really disappointing if it turns out to be Dylan."
If it is not him, then there is not many others left now who it could be. I outlined quite a while ago the reasons why I thought that it could be Andy & I still think it could be him. With Kat now discovering who the killer is, these latest articles say that "Because of her relationship with the killer......." & "As Kat prepares to come face to face with a murderer - who she clearly knows well.....". That could mean that it is Dylan, with the relationship they had, or maybe it could mean Andy? - not having a "romantic" relationship with him, but she has a "business" relationship with him (she invested in the garage) & he is Ash's mate etc. Of all the people who had a motive, Andy seems to be about the only one left who hasn't been interrogated by the police (on screen anyway). Having said that, I am probably wrong & wouldn't be at all surprised if it is Dylan, even though they have lead us to believe (again!) that it would be a regular/fulltime character. (It will be interesting to see whether, after being involved in the incident/fight which causes the explosion, & the death of 2 characters etc, Andy is also found out to be Charlotte's killer as well!!).
I hope you're right that the killer isn't Dylan, Pantherboy.
It doesn't make much sense to me story-wise anyway and would be a let down on two fronts: not just being a character we barely know or have any investment in, but that the long-running build-up of Charlotte making so many enemies would have been brushed aside for a cheap twist.
not sure how true this isSpoiler:
Home and Away has finally revealed who shot Charlotte King - and the outcome was a total shocker.
Josh Barrett (Jackson Gallagher) was responsible for the mysterious crime and was exposed as the culprit in special 90-minute episode which aired in Australia today (May 5).
Josh's luck ran out when policewoman Kat Chapman (Pia Miller) finally cracked the case thanks to evidence from the crime scene which linked to him.
Rather than go in all guns blazing, Kat called Josh and demanded a meeting - letting him know that she'd caught him out at last.
Although Josh tried his best to deny it when they met up, he soon realised that Kat had him bang to rights and had to reluctantly explain what happened all those months ago.
It turned out that Josh had two main motives for killing Charlotte - the first being that she'd killed Denny Miller, the half-sister of his girlfriend Evie.
The second was that Charlotte knew about Josh's brother Andy killing Jake Pirovic and was threatening to expose the truth, including Josh's role in covering it up.
Flashbacks showed that Charlotte sealed her own fate by turning a gun on Josh, only for him to shoot her in the tense struggle that followed.
Josh told Kat: "It was an accident. She was freaking out. I went to get my phone and she pulled a gun on me. It was self-defence."
Josh's guilt will have been a surprise to many fans, since he was thought to be blind at the time the crime was committed.
In reality, he'd regained his sight earlier that evening but had to continue pretending to be blind afterwards in order to avoid arousing any suspicion.
Although Kat is now aware of Josh's guilt, he managed to wriggle his way out of trouble - for now.
As another shock twist in the episode had seen Oscar MacGuire lose his life in the caravan park explosion, Josh begged Kat to hold off on arresting him until Evie's grief wasn't so raw.
Kat agreed, but warned him: "As soon as Evelyn is okay, I'm coming back for you..."

Glad it wasn't Dylan, but like a lot of people, not really happy that it ended up being Josh after he had been "cleared" by the investigation app that they released over summer (a case of false advertising?).
(Just to clarify from the Digital Spy article, Josh doesn't actually tell Kat the bit about Andy killing Pirovic etc)
Get ready to groan - Home and Away fans in the UK will have to wait until late June to discover the identity of Charlotte King's killer.
The bombshell revelation aired on screen over in Australia today, but Channel 5's British broadcasts are still weeks behind.
The good news is that Home and Away won't be taking its traditional summer break in the UK this year, so the gap isn't about to widen any further.
The slightly worse news is that - even with the show staying on air all summer long - we'll still have to wait until Wednesday, June 22 until the big reveal airs here.
Home and Away aired the revelation as part of a 90-minute triple episode in Australia, but these are expected to air as individual 30-minute episodes in the UK as usual.
Channel 5 has confirmed that the next Home and Away transmission break will be at Christmas, so there's plenty of Summer Bay goodness to enjoy until the end of the year.
And if you really can't wait to find out who killed Charlotte - our spoilerific article here has the answer you've been waiting for.
