All About Oscar Oliveira & Charlie Cobalt's Bodyguard-Client Relationship

April's poll has ended, and the results are in! It was a closer race this month, and we're so pumped to be diving deeper into Oscar & Charlie's bodyguard-client relationship for the April pod! This feels like one of those "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" topics that has been suggested for years. We're so happy it's finally been chosen! Plus, their dynamic is something that's shown in Burn Bright, so this is perfect leading up to the Cobalt Empire series!

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about Oscar & Charlie's dynamic!

G

ohhhh finally!!! i’ve been waiting for this one 😭

Dani P

Not sure if this too off topic or spoiler-y, but can you guys go into more detail about why Oscar is against Jo dating and/or hooking up with Beckett? Is it just Beckett or would he also have problems if it was Charlie, Eliot, or Ben?

Bri

In A Rainbow Brigade Favor, Oscar implies he would’ve let Charlie know he met Roxanne’s cousin if he didn’t promise Tom discretion. Does Oscar usually tell Charlie whenever he gets a hint or learn something about Roxanne?

Stephanie

Yay!!! Finally!! I feeling like I have been voting and waiting on this forever. I would like to know what their relationship was like at the beginning when Charlie was still a minor but gallivanting the world. What did Oscar do to garner Charlie's respect?

Teresa

What would you say is Oscar's favorite place that he traveled to with Charlie before he met Jack and why was it his favorite place?

Teresa

In a alternate universe if Joanna was to date Charlie what would be one piece of advice Oscar would give Joanna ( other than dont date him) and what advice would Oscar give to Charlie about dating Joanna?

Bri

In MLU, it’s mentioned Jack is filming a travel project for Charlie. Did Charlie request this so Jack and Oscar could spend more time together or for another reason? What does Oscar think?

Bri

Did Oscar say anything to Roxanne when she slipped outside Beckett’s dressing room? Maybe a bonus scene idea :)

Bri

What is Oscar’s favourite performance he goes to see with Charlie? Anything from ballet to opera!

Cam

without spoiling, could you please talk about oscar’s pov when he saw charlie staring at roxanne at the ballet in CLU? and also without spoiling if possible, would you say it's similar to donnelly noticing xander looking at pink braids girl in ULU? I’m curious since we had donnelly’s pov for that scene but not oscar’s for the CLU one. the scenes themselves seem similar to me (where the bodyguard is focused on their client watching somebody) but I don’t know if that was done on purpose or if there even are any similarities (or differences) between them. I’ve always wondered about oscar’s thoughts especially during that scene since I don't think we got it. for context: “The audience lets out a collective gasp. Oscar is hawk-eyed more on Charlie, and I realize he’s dropped the legs of his chair he’d been leaning back on. He’s bowed forward.” jack pov ch. 43, CLU. “I can almost see Xander watching her—can’t see his expression behind the mask—but he’s faced in her direction for a long beat.” donnelly pov ch. 44, ULU.

Jay

I'm wondering if Charlie consciously considers Oscar and his marriage when he is frequently jet-setting all over the globe, like does he think to himself "I won't travel this week because Oscar hasn't had much time off work to be with Jack lately" ?

AJ

Is Oscar aware that Charlie specifically has cleithrophobia? Or does he just think Charlie has a general dislike of being stuck?

AJ

If Oscar had to be a bodyguard for a different Cobalt brother, which one would he choose and why?

AJ

What three words would Oscar use to describe Charlie?

•

there was a time where oscar described in a bonus how Charlie’s type that he has one night stand lingers in the dark or smth what does that exactly means about them ? Only that they’re mysterious to public or does even oscar never saw them? Or another meaning?

•

would there ever a time where charlie would give up oscar for something? or someone?

•

Would their relationship be affected at some level when beckett and joana become a thing?

•

How much percentage would you currently give upon the chance of him acting like a Cupid for Charlie and his love interest as a pay back?

•

was the expression that charlie showed once he saw roxanne so rare for oscar? As he immediately moved so quickly once Charlie asked, please give away a tiny bit of new info about that scene 🥺

•

Is there a chance for a bonus scene on roxanne and oscar interacting from his pov? it’s actually a need

Bri

Could Oscar tell there was a difference in Charlie's interest in Roxanne vs. other times when Charlie has shown interest towards women? i.e. Daniella, other hookups etc

Hayat

We obviously know Charlie’s role in getting Oscar and Jack together, and Oscar has mentioned on multiple occasions how he wants to someday help Charlie find his person, but what’s Jack’s relationship with Charlie like outside a professional work setting? Obviously they’re in different stages of life but down the line could you guys see Jack playing some sort of role in Charlie’s personal life? Whether that’s advice, matchmaker, confidant, etc.

Hayat

Out of the moments we’ve seen/know of in the books/bonus could you guys generally pinpoint the pivotal moment where Charlie realized he could trust Oscar not just as his bodyguard but also as his friend?

Teresa

When Oscar is ready to start a family with Jack can we assume that they're will be a conversation with Charlie about the plans for the future when it comes to traveling when they have a child?

Hayat

The bonus scene Charlie and the secret threat contains one of my all time fav CharlieOscar interactions when Charlie asks Oscar what he thinks his taste in women is (btw Oscar answering with vampiric lives rent free in my head). Ik you guys have been really adamant in the past to say that characters don’t have a specific “type” in partners (partly due to the fact that readers could then hyper focus on a specific trait for someone’s li that could be overall irrelevant etc.) but since Roxanne is a confirmed li would you guys be able to kinda tease what type of person Oscar does envision for Charlie? This can be anything from looks, to personality, to quirks, etc.

Teresa

1. Would you say that during the situation with the Donnellys attacking Beckett and Luna caused a strain between Charlie and Oscar for a little while? 2. Would you say after the argument in Unlucky like us when Charlie said some horrible words about Donnelly to keep him away from Luna that Oscar lost a little respect for Charlie?

Lucia

What's the thing they appreciate most about each other?

Lucia

I'd love to know a bit about Rose and Connor's opinion on Oscar. And also, is he deep down their favorite bodyguard? I can imagine it was a relief when they finally found a good match for Charlie

Lucia

What is one thing Oscar still doesn't fully understand about charlie?

Lucia

Does Charlie appear more in WAC as he said he would in CLU so Oscar and Jack can see each other more? If so, I'd love to know if that has impacted Charlie's public image and fame in any way. Does he have more attention or headlines now? Do people know a bit more about him?

Yasti

Has Charlie ever taken something too far when it comes to pushing Oscar’s buttons/doing his Charlie-like things? I feel like there must have been at least one time, but I also think Oscar has the patience of a saint, so I don’t know

Lucia

Is Charlie still worried/frustrated about Oscar's life being attached to his? Or has that changed once Oscar fell in love with Jack.

Lucia

Does Jack have a similar sort of love for Charlie, the same way Oscar does? Can you delve into their relationship a bit?

Lucia

This is not a question but I'd love to leave it here. I'd love to have a scene in the future where Oscar finds out about Beckett and Jo, and we can see how it may affect his relationship with Charlie. I find that so interesting and I can't wait.

Lucia

In the beginning when it was Oscar, Charlie, Beckett, Donnelly in NY. What would you say was each of their favorite things about that dynamic? Do they miss it? I'd looooooove to have a bonus seeing the four of them interact with each other, I feel like it would be too good

Kelly.

Love this question

Teresa

Does Oscar see himself being a bodyguard for the rest of his life until he retires or is there a possibility he may quit one day?

Miriam

oh I love this so much. So I spied a tulip pin on charlie’s pinterest board and it brought me back to the mention in CLU on the one momentOscar was scared for charlie’s safety in Amsterdam. I was wondering if you could talk about that situation in more detail and how it might have shaped their relationship. Did it give Oscar more insight into Charlie’s mind, did it scare him, did it make him feel like he had failed at his role of protecting his client?

Miriam

Hypothetical: I can see a situation in the future where Charlie tells Oscar to protect Roxanne or even one of his brothers/sisters instead of him since we know he does not care about his own safety. Do you think Oscar would choose to go with Charlie’s wishes, or go with his oath to protect him (Charlie)?

Miriam

In the past: Have there been other instances like the one shown in CLU where Oscar has seen Charlie struggle with anxiety ? (elevator scene is one of my all time favorites). If so, how does it make Oscar feel when he sees Charlie suffering?

Miriam

In Oscar where not there, which other bodyguard do you think could do an okay job at protecting Charlie, or otherwise, who would Charlie be okay with protecting him ?

Miriam

I am so proud of Xander for taking up boxing in order to defend himself (as well as other reasons), do you think Charlie would ever be the type of client that would be interested in learning self defense? If so, would he ask Oscar to help him with it?

Miriam

We know Oscar doesn’t view himself as a “buddy-guard”, even though Charlie and him are friends. What type of bodyguard is he: more attentive, action-oriented, quick to intervene or more observant. Also, as a more general question which I wondered about: Do the bodyguard all carry weapons as a rule or is there a choice in which ones etc.?

Miriam

What would Oscar say are the three most dangerous situations charlie is most likely to find himself in (robbery, kidnapping, etc.)

Teresa

Is there a bonus scene in particular with Charlie's POV involving Oscar that you would really want to write during all the years they've been assigned to each other?

Hayat

If Oscar and Jack had a wedding would Charlie have been in the wedding party?

m

Do you purposefully write the bodyguards noticing future possible love interests/connections? For example Oscar with Charlie and Roxanne in Charming, Donnelly with Xander and the girl with the pink hair in Unlucky, then Thatcher with Beckett and Jo in Sinful etc?

Sydney🖤

What is Oscar’s biggest fear when it comes to protecting Charlie? What’s Charlie’s biggest challenge regarding letting Oscar be his bodyguard?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I’d love to know more what they think too! Cause we’ve heard, I believe it was Connor in the Connor Takes Charlie’s Call Bonus, call Oscar a gift or something similar! I also like that he was Ben and Eliot’s bodyguard as well so he’s been around Rose and Connor for quite a while

Yasti

I definitely think Oscar is up there in Connor’s favourites because of his compatibility with Charlie and connection to the others!! I lowkey also think that he likes Akara more than the rest, too

Teresa

If Charlie ever had children would he want Oscar to be there bodyguard or is there another bodyguard in the families that he trusts to protect them?

Alê

In the bus tour in NLU, after the fight with Ben, Charlie gets out of the bus and Oscar goes after him. What did they talk about? Did Oscar say something to convince Charlie to go back to the bus? Why did Oscar say that he'll be in the bus as well, otherwise Charlie will go to Prague, it was Charlie's demand? Is there a possibility that we'll have a bonus scene of that scene from Oscar's POV?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Gonna go with interview-like questions! Imagine both were open and willing to be completely honest and the world knew about everything so no need for secrecy lol… and asked when they’re not sitting next to each other! For Oscar - - The thing that annoys you most about Charlie? - The thing you admire most about him? - Favorite memory with Charlie? - One time you wanted to intervene and help but knew Charlie wouldn’t like it if you did? - What is Charlie’s most destructive trait? - Can you give me two ways in which you and Charlie are similar? Vastly different? - Who do you think is his favorite sibling (outside Beckett) and why? Least and why? - If Charlie could go anywhere in the world he hasn’t been, where do you think it would be and why? - How do you feel about being a “buddyguard” even though you adamantly denied you’d ever be one? For Charlie - - One thing you respect about Oscar? - Favorite memory with Oscar? - Besides English, which language do you prefer to speak to Oscar in and why? - Two ways in which you and Oscar are the same? Two ways that differ from him completely? - When did you consider him more than just a bodyguard and thought of him as a friend? - One topic you know is completely off-limits to Oscar so you won’t bring it up? - Is there something you ever regretted doing simply because you saw Oscar be disappointed in the outcome/event? - Would you ever confide in him instead of a sibling? If so, in what kind of situation/circumstance? - One thing you dislike about Oscar and wish would change?

mayyve

When did Charlie consider Oscar as his friend? Bec Oscar always says he's not a 'buddyguard'

mayyve

What kind of gift would Charlie give Oscar and Jack if they had a wedding celebration?

mayyve

If Oscar would be transferred to a different client, would Charlie say no to the transfer?

Teresa

Has Oscar officially met Roxanne in person, have they had a conversation and what was his first impression of her?

•

each time Roxanne mentioned around Oscar it feels as there’s a weight in it, first in his book and the bonus scene her full name was said, is it intentional moment from you and were you expecting it to be fan-favorite moment and readers to pick up the weight of that moment between Oscar and Charlie while writing it CLU?

•

on a scale of 1 to Oscar-level of charlie secrets archive, how much does he knows about Charlie’s perspective upon Roxanne?

Teresa

If Oscar and Charlie were to order food for the other person what would they get each other?

Lucia

I'M OBSESSED

Lucia

For sure!! We saw how he had a soft spot for Akara and was on his side during the royal leaks while Omega was against triple shield. Also, something I've always wanted to see was Connor and rose with Sulli, Banks and Akara. I remember Sulli saying that Rose and Connor were all for the triad and didn't see a problem with it. I would have loved to get a scene where they had shown their support during that time where Sulli felt like everyone judged her. Maybe a bonus some day 🤞🏻

Teresa

This is slightly off topic but I wanted to know more about the Oliveira family. In the first day as Charlie bodyguard bonus it was mentioned that Oscars uncle was a boxer, I haven't reread charming like us in a few years but was this uncle ever mentioned before and how many members of Oscar's family are fighters ? Does he have cousins aswell? I think in the earlier books it was mentioned he comes from a boxing family but I assumed that was just because his father was a boxer and so were his siblings.

Alê

When Charlie says he someday may disappear without a trace his family is adamant that he'd be missed. Does Oscar share the sentiment? Will he be able to find Charlie wherever he goes? Where that place would be, the one Charlie disappears without a trace, I mean.

Alê

For how long and how Charlie realized that Jack had a thing for Oscar, since Jack identified himself as straight? For how long has Charlie been planning to get Oscar and Jack together? Did he consider doing something bold/stupid like locking them inside a closet together until they realize they like each other?

JT

When Charlie had broken down from a bad trip in charming like us and had to call Connor to calm himself down. Was this experience something Oscar had seen before and knew what to do or was it something new to him.

JT

Oscar has been on Charlie’s detail for longest and has had the chance to get to know him more. Has their relationship/ dynamic evolved into close bond where Charlie is comfortable to open up and be emotional or is there still a boundary between them.

Danielle

This has quite literally nothing to do with Charlie but it does involve Oscar and i have to know… was Oscar lo’s “source” about farrow & donnellys friendship

Lucia

The Oliveira family has been around the Famous Ones for a while now, so I suppose they know Charlie, considering he's been Oscar's client for so long. I have several questions about this: - Do the Oliveira parents and siblings know about Charlie playing matchmaking and getting Oscar and Jack together? - I'm sure we'll get to know Jo and Quinn's opinions on Charlie in their books, but what about the Oliveira parents. Can you tell us a bit about their opinion on Charlie? - How would you describe Charlie's relationship with the Oliveira's? - What about Rose and Connor, do they have a relationship with the Oliveiras?

Stephanie

Has Charlie picked up or learned some Portuguese because of Oscar? As they play chess often, what's the ratio of winning like between them?

Hayat

Besides English and French, what language do Charlie and Oscar speak most to each other?

Lauren Norah

What does Charlie give Oscar on Christmas, birthdays, etc? Or does he even gift at all LOL

Lauren

What made Charlie think that Oscar was into jack?

Teresa

Does Charlie go to the gym and if so what would he and Oscar do there for exercise?

Nini

we know connor cant see charlie in relationship or love but can oscar? what are his feelings about it?

Nini

i know charlie is happy that oscar is with jack but has he ever felt jealousy? because he wants to be in love and he isnt but oscar is

Nini

does oscar ever think or ask about roxanne? has he ever asked to charlie about her?

Nini

what would you describe oscar and charlies relationship in three words?

Nini

does charlie sees oscar as big brother figure? or just friend? or just cool bodyguard?

Nini

out of all cobalt brothers does charlie had closest relationship with his bodyguard oscar?

Natalie 👽🤍

What is Oscar’s thought process when it’s Charlie vs. Farrow (example: the kitchen scene fight in Unlucky)

Lauren

Have Charlie and Oscar ever had a conversation about Jo and Beckett

Jayden

Charlie is very private. Would he keep a romantic relationship secret from Oscar?

Lauren

How does Oscar feel about Charlie’s drug use?

Teresa

What book would Oscar and Charlie gift each other?

Teresa

Has Oscar ever told Charlie about his ex boyfriend from college?

Hannah Menzl

I know Oscar had some time off to spend with Jack in charming but was that just a one time thing? Does Charlie give Oscar days to spend with Jack or do the days Oscar have off just coincide with whatever Charlie is doing?

Morgan and Maria

Does Charlie have any opinions about Oscar’s relationship with the other Oliveira siblings that he’s observed as a fellow big brother™️

Morgan and Maria

When Oscar was first put on Charlie’s detail, did Charlie have any inkling that Oscar was going to show up on the jet and be with him for the long-haul (not just in the flight sense lol) based off Oscars previous record with clients?

Morgan and Maria

In DLU (or LLU) Farrow tells Maximoff that his proudest bodyguard moment—at the time anyway—was when Luna learned to drive! Does Oscar have a moment like this with Charlie?

Teresa

What is Oscar's opinion on the fractured relationship between Ben and Charlie currently?

Lucia

Do they gift each other things in birthdays and Christmas?

Bri

If you could name one song (or more!) that perfectly summarises their friendship, what would it be? <3

Hayat

In an alternate universe where Oscar isn’t Charlie’s bodyguard and they’re closer in age…if the two of them were friends and going on a double date, where would they take their dates?

Teresa

If this isnt to much of a spoiler, is Oscar and Charlies relationship the most prominent in the entire cobalt empire series or just in Charlie's book ?

Alê

Charlie's fans are very passionate about him, what was the most unusual thing Oscar had to protect Charlie from when it comes to his fans? And about Charlie's dates/ hookups, had one of them tried to do something crazy that Charlie needed Oscar's help?

Jay

Charlie was known to be hard for his bodyguards to keep track of. Was he not concerned about his safety, didn't think anything would happen to him or just didn't care if it did? These days, is he more likely to let his bodyguard know his plans and wait for them? Does he behave differently in this regard for Oscar in comparison to when he has a temp bodyguard? Would he still be more likely to take off on them?

•

I find it somehow odd that Charlie never noticed how important donnelly and farrow are to Oscar and how close they were until ulu could you elaborate on why is that?

a

would you say charlie’s tense relationship with ben mirrors oscar’s tense relationship with quinn? and oscar’s protectiveness over jo mirrors charlie’s protectiveness over audrey? it seems like they both have similar age gaps with their youngest siblings so was wondering what the similarities and differences are between those relationships, and can they relate to each other in this way?

Teresa

If you can tease this how would Oscar describe who Charlie chooses to have one night stands with? For example is Charlie more likely to approach the girl first or she approaches him? Are there places he prefers to find hook ups? How does Charlie know if she isn't a crazed fan? Does Oscar have to listen outside the door everytime Charlie has sex with someone ? Would Oscar say Charlie is very picky with who he chooses to sleep with?

Teresa

Has Oscar ever had to deal with a stalker situation when it comes to Charlie?

JT

When it comes to hookups is Charlie open about it with Oscar the same way Beckett and Donnelly were where they had discussions, went to clubs together, made games out of it and etc or is he more private about it . Also was there ever a situation similar to Becketts where a hookup of Charlie’s had exposed him and broke an NDA.

Alê

What would be Charlie's reaction if his hypothetical kid dated Oscar's hypothetical kid? And what Oscar's reaction would be? Would they be against it like Oscar is with Joana and Beckett or would they love for them to be together? Imagining here a mini-Charlie showing interest in Oscar's daughter, and Oscar being on the verge of a heart attack. I'd love to see that.

Jay

When Charlie has hookups is he likely to have Oscar on duty having them sign NDA's then wait outside the door for him as we have read that other bodyguards have done for their clients? Or is Charlie more likely to sneak away without Oscar for this kind of thing? Or would he bring his hookups to his apartment when Oscar is off duty?

Teresa

I know they wont be prominent like in tbe Like Us series but other than Oscar will we see more of the personalities of the bodyguards that are protecting the cobalt siblings and what there relationship is like with their client?

Shelby Keating

I remember at the end of CLU, Oscar told Charlie he would be taking time off more often to spend time with Jack. About how often is that? Also, does Charlie ditch his temp all the time or does he hold himself back from always ditching them to avoid Oscar feeling obligated to stay on duty more often?

Shelby Keating

What would they do around Christmas for gifts? What kinds of things would they get each other (the answer may be nothing lol)?

Shelby Keating

Does Oscar act any different now that he has accepted that he sees Charlie as an actual friend?

Shelby Keating

Does Charlie still do the personal travel vlog to orchestrate more time together for Oscar and Jack?

Shelby Keating

We know Oscar finally accepted that Charlie was his friend at the end of CLU when Charlie asked him, based on how he asked it seems like he had already seen Oscar as a friend for a while, did that happen during LLU timeline when all of the bodyguards got a bit closer to their clients (not all in a romantic way lol) or was it a different timeline?

Shelby Keating

When they are flying around, does Oscar consider himself off duty since it’s a private plane? Therefore those interactions would be more based in solely friendship?

Shelby Keating

Oscar is adamant that he is not and never will be a buddyguard, so what is their dynamic like then since his is both Charlie’s bodyguard and his friend but he rejects that “buddyguard” middle ground?

Shelby Keating

Does a part of Oscar think that Charlie will end up with Roxanne? Or does is he not sure because he doesn’t think Charlie would break that promise to Beckett? Does he “ship” roxlie? I mean not in the Lily Calloway kind of way of shipping, that’s her specialty lol, but in his own way.

Shelby Keating

This is super specific but like… we all know Oscar loves his snacks and Charlie has shown he genuinely cares about Oscar, so would he try to keep some of Oscar’s favorite snacks stocked on the private jet since the two of them use it so much?

Shelby Keating

Does Oscar ever talk to Charlie about his personal life? Like would he talk about Jack with Charlie? Similarly, is Oscar someone Charlie would consider going to for relationship advice or would that be more in the category of “don’t bother Oscar with my problems” type of stuff?

Shelby Keating

We know he doesn’t always consider it because of what he said to Donnelly in ULU, but when interacting with Farrow and Donnelly does he ever take into account that they are friends with Oscar?

Shelby Keating

Does Charlie have opinions on the “Yale Boys” or is that dynamic just in his peripheral? Since Oscar is his friend and both Farrow and Donnelly are entwined in Charlie’s life through being with one of his cousins?

Shelby Keating

Would Oscar consider Charlie to be the “famous one” he is closest to on a personal level? Or would he maybe consider someone else like Moffy who he has formed a bond with through Farrow? Hypothetically if it is Moffy that Oscar feels he’s closer to… how would Charlie react to finding that out?

Shelby Keating

I have more questions but I feel like I’ve asked too many already lol, so I guess I’ll leave it at that

Bri

when Oscar describe Charlie's type as "vampiric. lives in the shadows" was he kidding or did Oscar truly believe that? :)

Hayat

You’ve said in the past that Charlie is a foodie and oscar is notoriously a snacker, what’s a food they love to share/have bonded over in the past

JT

How does Oscar view Charlie and Becketts relationship is it different compared to others as he see Charlie in a different light ?

JT

When comes to Charlie and Connor’s bond does Oscar see the emotional and personal aspects? And would Oscar say that Charlie is a different person and is more emotionally available and there when around or speaking with Connor or Beckett?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you all for your amazing questions!! We are currently prepping this podcast and will be recording soon. So we won't be answering any other questions after this comment. xoxo
