Where's Charlie?

In season three Charlie and Blake were always sleuthing together. In season four he hardly seems to appear at all even as a boarder at Lucien's. I miss him. Blake is now either with Sgt Hobart or Supt Frank Carlyle. Maybe because Carlyle (unlike Munro) seems to welcome Blake's "interference" the writers have decided to sideline Charlie, but I don't know why they would feature Hobart more since he is less colorful than Charlie.

I am four episodes in now. Maybe he will show up more later.

During the earlier part of filming S4, Charlie Cousins was appearing on stage in Sydney. TPTB had to work around his availability, hence why he was less in evidence the first few eps.

I don't know about you, but I felt that the season was a bit disconnected because of all the cast changes/lack of availability.
Hopefully S5 will be a bit neater. And at least Lawson will be back, yay!!
