Charles Bing is the father of Chandler Bing in the TV sitcom Friends and is played by Kathleen Turner. Earlier in the show, Charles was referred to as a gay man by his son Chandler. However towards the end of Season 7, the role of Charles was retconned and he became a transsexual, being portrayed by Turner. She appeared in a drag show in Vegas under the stage name Helena Handbasket, but continued to live as a female off-stage. Post-retconn, Chandler mentioned that "Charles" lived as a woman for at least part of Chandler's childhood or adolescence. Before the retconn, Chandler referred to Charles as an effeminate gay man, but not a transsexual. He was referred to as starring in a specifically male Burlesque show in Las Vegas - Viva Las Gaygas. Charles and Chandler's mother announced their divorce on Thanksgiving, sparking Chandlers hate of the holiday. The final straw leading to the divorce was Charles' affair with their houseboy. |
