Charlie Hoyland is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by the child actor Aaron Aulsebrook-Walker. He is the son of Max (Stephen Lovatt) and Stephanie Hoyland (Carla Bonner).
After many months of trying to conceive, as well as failing to adopt, Steph and Max were beginning to give up hope of ever having a child of their own, when she suddenly found out that she was pregnant. For the first half of the pregnancy, things went well, but as the birth got closer, Steph suddenly found herself in the middle of a nightmare as she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she had already beaten once in 2003. Steph refused to have any treatment for it until her miracle baby, whom she had already named Charlie, was born. Her refusal caused a huge rift between Max and Steph, but she stuck to her decision and Charlie was safely delivered in March 2006, before his mother was rushed in for emergency surgery to remove the cancerous growth.
Robert Robinson (Adam Hunter) turned the gas on in the Robinsons' house while Izzy (Natalie Bassingthwaighte) was babysitting Charlie. Lyn (Janet Andrewartha), Charlie's grandmother, discovered this and successfully got Charlie out before he was harmed. It should be noted that Izzy was asleep while this was happening, and Lyn seemed to have no feelings towards the possible outcome of Izzy.
After Max accidentally killed Cameron Robinson (also Adam Hunter), Cameron's sister Elle (Pippa Black) tried to drive Max insane, using Charlie on two separate occasions. She firstly pushed him out on to the road in front of the garage when nobody was looking. Then when Max was baby sitting Charlie she broke in and stole him while Max was in the kitchen. Then when Max started looking for him she returned him after he left the house so it seemed that Max was suffering a nervous breakdown.
He was held hostage along with Steph, Katya Kinski (Dichen Lachman), Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Zeke Kinski (Matthew Werkmeister) by Guy Sykes (Fletcher Humphrys), who was after the money Katya has made stealing cars.
