Taylour Paige Wanted Charlotte to Get the Hell Out of Derry, Too
"Over the course of eight episodes, Charlotte established herself as the sharpest and most logical person on the show, the kind of voice of reason that functions as an audience surrogate for horror stories while also working to keep the other characters alive. Forced to leave their home in Shreveport, Louisiana, and her civil rights advocacy behind, Charlotte arrives in Derry apprehensive about the lily-white town and unsettling vibes that seem to blanket everything."
"In addition to trying to hold her family together as Leroy embarks on a top-secret military mission and son Will (Blake Cameron James) faces his own battle against the town's evil, she finds meaning in working to exonerate Hank Grogan (Stephen Rider), who has been railroaded into a murder charge by Derry's racist police force. In the season finale, Charlotte's efforts pay off, as she's finally able to help Hank escape to freedom."
