En 1857, Dickens dungis profesiajn aktorinojn por la teatraĵo ''The Frozen Deep'', verkite de li mem kaj de lia protektito, [[Wilkie Collins]]. Dickens enamiĝis en unu el la aktorinoj, nome [[Ellen Ternan]], kaj tiu pasio daŭros por la cetero de lia vivo.<ref>{{harvnb|Ackroyd|1990|pp=788–799}}.</ref> Dickens estis 45 kaj Ternan 18 kiam li decidis, kio estis tute kontraŭ la konvencioj de la Viktoriana epoko, separiĝi el sia edzino, Catherine, en 1858 — [[divorco]] estis ankoraŭ neimagebla por iu tiom fama kiom li estis. Kiam Catherine foriris, por neniam revidi sian edzon, ŝi kunportis unu filon, lasante la aliajn filojn zorgotajn de sia fratino Georgina kiu decidis resti en Gad's Hill.<ref name = "Smith10ff">{{harvnb|Smith|2001|pp=10–11}}.</ref>

In 1857, Dickens hired professional actresses for the play ''[[The Frozen Deep]]'', written by him and his [[Mentorship|protégé]], [[Wilkie Collins]]. Dickens fell in love with one of the actresses, [[Ellen Ternan]], and this passion was to last the rest of his life.<ref>{{harvnb|Ackroyd|1990|pp=788–799}}.</ref> Dickens was 45 and Ternan 18 when he made the decision, which went strongly against Victorian convention, to separate from his wife, Catherine, in 1858—divorce was still unthinkable for someone as famous as he was. When Catherine left, never to see her husband again, she took with her one child, leaving the other children to be raised by her sister Georgina who chose to stay at Gad's Hill.<ref name = "Smith10ff">{{harvnb|Smith|2001|pp=10–11}}.</ref>
 
During this period, whilst pondering a project to give public readings for his own profit, Dickens was approached through a charitable appeal by [[Great Ormond Street Hospital]], to help it survive its first major financial crisis. His 'Drooping Buds' essay in ''[[Household Words]]'' earlier on 3 April 1852 was considered by the hospital's founders to have been the catalyst for the hospital's success.<ref>{{harvnb|Furneaux|2011|pp=190–191}}.</ref> Dickens, whose philanthropy was well-known, was asked by his friend, the hospital's founder [[Charles West (physician)|Charles West]], to preside over the appeal, and he threw himself into the task, heart and soul.<ref>{{harvnb|Page|1999|p=261}}.</ref> Dickens's public readings secured sufficient funds for an endowment to put the hospital on a sound financial footing—one reading on 9 February 1858 alone raised £3,000.<ref>{{harvnb|Jones|2004|pp=80–81}}.</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Ackroyd|1990|pp=801, 804}}.</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Page|1999|pp=260–263}} for excerpts from the speech.</ref>
