Charlotte is the Chief of Staff at St. Ambrose Hospital, and an attending who visits at the various private practices even though she despises private practices. She is a urologist and sexologist, showing a contrast to her rough Southern girl upbringing. After discovering her husband cheating on her, the other woman attacked her and she became addicted to pain medication for a period, at one point causing a terrible crash -- this makes her further unsympathetic, but she is developed from her antagonist role after joining the private practice. She is married to Cooper, with whom she has three daughters. Though she considered naming a daughter after her old horse, Marjorie, she instead went with [[ThemeNaming Southern]] [[TheDeepSouth States]] for Georgia and Caroline, and the traditional Rachel.
