Maybe I dozed off, but why did he tell? Because his wife just left him and he was pissed? Why ruin an old childhood friends life?

His conscience made him do it.

You beat me to it.

He could not tell a lie ! There's still nieces and nephews etc.

I've never seen this movie, but you know what I'm getting at.

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 4 years ago

Well I'm at a disadvantage you see because I can't read minds, so I have no idea what you're getting at.

The trends in the top; The Mother, The Father, The Son and now this.

Oh messing with the trending line. Yes it's a very popular thing to do.

His wife left him. He blames his father for the death of his mother. Maybe Charlotte too as she was having an affair with him. He's got a alcohol problem. I don't think he knew about Hedvig being his half sister at the time.

Why didn't Charlotte just tell him the truth. Even if his father was in the jail and other issues in his life, Oliver deserved to know the truth that Hedvig wasn't his and that she was cheating on him. And that she only stayed with him cause Henry didn't want her after his wife's death. How cruel is that.

Also the fact they didn't have another child since then (Hedvig is 16 to 18 years old).

What Christian did was awful, but Charlotte wasn't much better for not telling the man she supposedly loves that his child isn't his and he was second best.
