In 2006, Condou appeared as Renoir in the BBC drama The Impressionists. Other television and film roles included guest appearances as Nino in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme with his friend Kathy Burke, and Giles in Dead Babies, where he appeared with Paul Bettany, Olivia Williams and Kris Marshall. He had a cameo role as one of the elves in Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Kevin Spacey in 2007, before joining Coronation Street, in the summer of 2007. That same year, Condou appeared in the film Good starring Viggo Mortensen and Jason Isaacs. In 2008, he left Coronation Street. Speaking of his departure, Condou said: "I have had a fantastic time in Coronation Street, but as a jobbing actor I believe it is time to move on." A Corrie spokeswoman said: "We'll be sad to see Charlie leave." At the time, Condou indicated "there are a few things in the pipeline, one of which is a feature film which is being made abroad. But all that's under wraps at the moment." This film turned out to be Good, released later that year.
