Charlotte King (Erika Heynatz)

[Pantherboy]

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.

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.
