Charles' last name was never ever said. Anthony, who was Lillian's nephew and appeared in the first few episodes of the 1988-1989 season had a last name. It was Swenson according to the TV Listings. In case you never noticed this, Buddy always called Lillian "Aunt Lillian". Charles called Buddy's father Mr. Lembeck in the episode where he appeared.

I'm sure you already knew this, two of Lillian's sisters (or sister-in-laws) last names were most likely not even mentioned either. Ellen Travolta played the sisters in two episodes from the final season. They're names were Sally and Vanessa.

In one of the episodes from the final season, there were three guest stars that had appeared previously on the show as a guest star. They were Molly Orr (who played Hilliary Smith in the episode "Baby Bummer (1990)", Rodney Eastman (who played Jamie's date in the episode "Bad Boy (1989)", and Jack Bannon (who played Dr. Clay in the episode "Daffy Doc (1990)".)

Charles and Lillian's last names must have Delvecchio on Charles in Charge, just like they were on Happy Days when Louisa (who was renamed Lillian on CIC) married Al. Now when Lillian first appeared on the program, Al must have kicked the bucket or they must have got a divorce. I do not know his last name, but there are many other TV situation comedy characters whose last names did not exist and most likely never will...

Yea, I think NOT revealing his last name was one of those intentional little tricks the show played on the audience. Sort of like how on the show Home Improvement they never showed the neighbor's mouth. Those sort of things are neat little ideas, but they can also get frustrating. For example, Buddy would be introducing himself and Charles to someone, and Buddy would say, "Hi, I'm Buddy Lembeck -- and this is Charles." I wish somebody just would have said "Charles WHAT?" Also, I know for a fact that the show never gave his last name, because it is not listed on IMDB.com. And if it would have ever been given, IMDB.com would certainly have it.

Yeah, i was jokeing. Its like why they never showed Wilson's face in Home Improvement. But they didnt try to hide it in Charles in Charge. It just never came up.

Ditto. I mean how would some website know if they NEVER said anything about it on the show??

jarri · 10-04-2003, 12:18 PM

Reading these replies is hysterically funny. As I read them, I had to think about it.

But...there last names could not have been Delvecchio. Lillian marrying Al didnt necessarily changed Chachi's last name. Usually, only the brides name changes.

And not to be confused Lillian and Louisa were not the same person. Louisa was Al's lost love. Lillian was Chachi's mother.

Although I will say that it is confusing! I am not even sure if my own knowledge is completely accurate. Happy Days-Joanie Loves Chachi-Charles in Charge all run together in my head. Who cares anyway? Charles is Charles, Buddy is Buddy, and Lillian is Lillian, etc.
