Career
Brooks has appeared in episodes of The Bill, London's Burning, Jonathan Creek, and The Demon Headmaster on television.
Brooks' first appearance in the BBC drama Bleak House as Jenny came after she moved from EastEnders in 2004. Brooks has appeared in commercials and voiceovers in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States.
Brooks appeared alongside Ian Kelsey in a BBC1 docu-drama named Beverley Allitt: Beverley Allitt: Angel of Death in 2006. "It's a very sensitive topic, and naturally it's devastating for the parents to have the whole thing brought up," producer Cathy Elliot said. Every time it's been brought up, it's painful, but a lot of parents are aware that it's been done and that not a lot has been achieved since."
Robin Hood and Love Soup were guest stars. Brooks performed in the play Office Games with Adam Rickitt, although not on a break from EastEnders in 2003. The play was Brooks' debut on West End, and it was described as "a witty and insightful political commentary." In 2007, she appeared in Our Country's Good at the Liverpool Playhouse.
When executive producer Matthew Robinson re-introduced Janine Butcher in 1999, after Alexia Demetriou left, Brooks landed the role. Brooks remained in the position until May 2004.
Brooks returned to EastEnders in April 2008 for a short stay as a guest. She was later confirmed that she would return as a regular character. "I had reservations to start with," she said, "mainly because of Kiki." "I know how full-on EastEnders can be," she said, and then there's the stigma attached to returning to a soap. But I'm so glad I did, it was the right decision. I'm really lucky to work and I need the cover because of Kiki, especially considering what's going on at the moment. I was supposed to go back for a year, but I had a meeting with the boss last week and decided that we'll continue for another year. So much more time will be needed to get to the bottom of all the mischief" "I couldn't be happier that Charlie Brooks is returning to EastEnders," executive producer Diederick Santer said. With her appearances last month, she reassured us that she is a fine actress and that her character as Janine is both interesting, watchable, and engaging. She resigned in September 2012 and returned in April 2013 before returning to March 2014.
Brooks had agreed to reprise the role in April 2021 for a "large storyline" and would return later this year. In September 2021, she made her on-screen return. Brooks appeared in her 1,000th episode as Janine on February 10, 2022.
In January 2019, it was announced that Alex Oates' play All in a Row, starring Brooks as Tamora, the mother, would be produced by Paul Virides Productions at the Southwark Playhouse. The play is based on Oates' ten-years of caring for severely autistic children and adults, and it took home the Top Five Play Reading at the Bolton Octagon. The play is about a profoundly autistic eleven-year-old boy's parents and how they are feeling the night before he is admitted to a residential school, where social services feel he needs more help than can be given in their families' homes.
When a video trailer for the performance was posted showing the autistic character Laurence, portrayed by a puppet, criticism of the play emerged. Without having seen it, journalist Frances Ryan slammed the role as a "grotesque step backwards." The National Autistic Society, who started by offering assistance on Twitter, responded to the outrage by notifying that "while acknowledging some of the play's strengths, we decided we did not endorse the play as a whole due to its representation of autism, particularly the use of a puppet to represent the autistic character alone."
"I accept people's fears," Brooks said, "I acknowledge people's questions but I do encourage people to attend and see the play first before judging." Laurence, the puppet, also stated that having a puppet character is important, and that having a puppet character is fun. Brooks visited the Queensmill School for autistic children in Shepherd's Bush during rehearsals, interacting with the children, their parents, and caregivers. "This is a tale that is seldom told," Brooks said. Rather than sitting at home getting ill, I just hope people will come and see it."
