Chuck Hankins

Template:Construction Charles Peizer better known under his alias, Chuck Hankins“ is the main antagonist of Just Add Magic Season 2 Part 1. He is portrayed by Zach Callison.

Personality
Chuck was described by Willy as a prankster, always goofing around with friends and cracking jokes. He was fun to be around with and hung out with a lot of friends. When he was in high school with the OC's, he was known to be a constant heartbreaker, going out with one girl, breaking up with her the next day. However, outside of his 1960s high school boy life, he was a completely different person. Chuck was very caring about his little sister Rose, which is why he spent years trying to get her back after she was accidentally cursed. Chuck's very stubborn and persevering, as he didn't let anything get in his way to restore Rose. Chuck is also very sneaky and devious, as he plotted to ruin Ida's life by getting her dad to leave her job, and nearly succeeded with doing the same with Kelly's dad, until Kelly figured out the truth. Chuck is also shown as very manipulative, as he tricked Gina, Becky, and Ida into believing that he did not know magic and luring Gina thinking that he liked her and showing him the cookbook.

Before JAM (Just Add Magic)
He lived with his sister Rose Piezer in the Piezer estate. Sometime in the 1800's, he was 14 at the time and he and his sister Rose find the cookbook, but it is unknown exactly when. One day, Chuck decides he wants to keep the book forever, so he and Rose cook an immortality spell. Unfortunately, the spell goes wrong and Rose gets trapped in the cookbook. Chuck and Rose did become immortal, but Rose didn't become immortal the way she expected. He tried everything to get her out. After he trapped her sister in the Cookbook, he told to the news reporter's that she was playing the front yard, but when he went to retrieve her, she was gone. So, according to them, she was declared as missing.

1960s
When Charles gets to the 1960's, he drops his name and changes it from Charles Piezer to Chuck Hankins. (It is unknown why he does this, it's probably to hide his identity and keep the magic a secret.) Still determined to get Rose out of the cookbook, he tries swapping her out for one of the OCs (original cooks; Becky Quinn, Ida Perez and Gina Silvers), who all three of them he knew very well. He sadly failed. The OC's thought it was their fault he knew about the magic and tried to curse him with Can't Recall Caramel which failed and made him disappear until he showed up at the 50th Annual Pluot Festival.

During The Series
When Chuck got off the ferris wheel he encountered the Traveler who sacrificed her physical body to temporarily erase his memories. He then appeared at Mama P's as a result of the Settle the Beef Sandwich spell. At first the girls and the OCs didn't believe him especially Grandma Becky. Shortly after the girls gave him a Trust me Tabouli and decided they could trust him. Then the girls helped him adjust to the modern world, and told him that he was Gina's nephew. Unfornately, Kelly became paranoid, and the girls tried to break the spell. When they did, Chuck got his memories back. After a few hours, he regained his memories of the OCs and the Can't Recall Caramel from 1965 and kept trying to recuse his sister.

In Just Add 1965, He meet the Quinn family and saved Buddy from a skateboard accident. After this the Quinn family thought they could trust him, so Mr. Quinn showed Chuck some of his music records in the attic. But the cookbook was still there, so he tried to grab it, but he got an electric shock. When Kelly came home and finds out he's in the attic, she warns him to stay away from his family and the cookbook, and Chuck left with a photograph of Kelly, Hannah and Darbie.
