There are consequences to the Doctor taking Charley on board, however. According to history, Charley was supposed to die in the R101 crash and the Doctor's rescue of her causes a temporal paradox. A physical Paradox is an apparent contradiction in physical descriptions of the Universe. After a while, the Web of Time begins to break down as anachronisms seep into history and "anti-time" starts to infect the universe, with Charley as both focus and gateway. An anachronism (from the Greek "ana" " ανά " "against anti-" and "chronos" " χρόνος " The Time Lords of Gallifrey take notice, and Lord President Romana gives orders to arrest Charley and the Doctor.

History is then altered so that the paradox of Charley's continued existence became part of established history — in other words, the paradox and the resulting consequences, including the change in the timeline, were supposed to happen.
However, having absorbed anti-time, the Doctor now is a danger to the universe, and so has to exile himself into a parallel universe where time does not exist. Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own He intended to do so alone, but Charley stows away aboard the TARDIS and follows him into exile.

It is the later death of C'rizz that prompts her decision to leave the TARDIS. She quickly changes her mind, but due to a series of events involving Cybermen, temporal shifts and memory loss, parts company with the Doctor. The Cybermen are a Fictional race of Cyborgs who are amongst the most persistent enemies of the Doctor in the British Science fiction television While he believes she has voluntarily left him, Charley actually ends up marooned on an island in the year 500002. She builds a makeshift crystal telegraph and sends an SOS repeatedly into space, hoping that anyone, particularly the Doctor, would rescue her. Early developments Before the development of radio communication in the early 1890s seagoing vessels had already adopted a wide variety of visual and audio distress signals using When her message is finally answered, it turned out to be the Sixth Doctor who saves her. The Sixth Doctor is the name given to the sixth incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor, seen on screen in the long-running Charley chose to continue traveling with this earlier incarnation, keeping the circumstances of her past and his future a secret from him. This leads the Doctor to grow suspicious of her secrecy and poorly devised lies. Exactly how she parts company with this earlier Doctor or why he seems not to remember her in his own future has yet to be explained.
Charley's exuberant personality matched the Eighth Doctor's well. She embraced the wonders of the universe that travel with the Doctor showed her and helped the Doctor fight the evils he encountered with courage. She was not only loyal to the Doctor, but also developed romantic feelings for him and eventually confessed them. The Doctor was very fond of Charley, and admitted later that she was his friend and he loved her, but what that meant for a virtually immortal Time Lord was unclear, as the relationship between the two was not a physical one.
Charley has also appeared in the short story Repercussions. . . by Gary Russell in the anthology Short Trips: Repercussions, set a short time after she began travelling with the Doctor. Gary Russell (born 18 September 1963) is a freelance Writer and former Child actor. As of this writing, the circumstances in which Charley parted company with the Doctor have not been revealed.
