Charlie Green is the son of Anna Green and Alex Bell.
Charlie was conceived when Alex and Anna had unprotected sex, as Alex was told that he was infertile after attempting to donate sperm for a scientific experiment. When Anna discovered that she was pregnant, Alex accused her of being unfaithful and broke up with her. Anna decided to have an abortion but backed out as she couldn't go through with it. Alex discovered that the hospital had made a mix-up and that he was Anna's baby's father after all, but still wanted no part in the baby's life. Anna decided to put the baby up for adoption after the birth, with Helen Cunningham desperately wanting the baby after the suicide of her son Lewis Richardson.
Anna went into premature labour shortly before Christmas and the baby was quickly put on a ventilator. Both mother and child spent several weeks in hospital unwell, before being discharged in January 2002. Seeing the baby for the first time, Alex's feelings towards him changed and he fought Anna for joint custody, to Alex's girlfriend Becca Hayton's chagrin. As Anna and Alex grew closer, Becca felt used and dumped him, and Anna and Alex reconciled. However, Alex and Anna argued over their small flat and tight finances, leading to their break-up. Alex went back to Becca, and Anna began dating Max Cunningham.
In September 2002, Alex was offered a job in Hong Kong, but Anna refused to let Charlie go with him. Alex attempted to kidnap him but Anna uncovered his plot and managed to get him back. With Alex gone, Anna became eager to build a family with Max, but Max struggled with looking after both Anna and Charlie 24/7 and ended their relationship. A devastated Anna then took Charlie and moved in with her mother.
