Lost Two and a Half Men Episode Had Charlie Sleeping With a Man!

Had Charlie Sheen returned to the Two and a Half Men set this week, he would’ve had a surprise waiting for him: a possible same-sex hook-up!

According to some casting intel acquired by TVLine, one of the show’s four “lost” episodes was to find Sheen’s onscreen alter ego spending the night with a man.

Just prior to the plug being pulled on the season, Men producers were casting the role of Jonathan, a fortysomething client of Lyndsey’s (Courtney Thorne-Smith) who just so happens to be gay. Charlie befriends Jonathan, and the two end up partying the night away.

Cut to the following morning when they wake up in bed together with absolutely no memory of what may or may not have happened.

Hopefully Charlie will clean up his act and return to the Two and a Half Men set next season, and we have the pleasure of seeing this episode. Stay tuned!

Charlie Sheen Returning to Two and a Half Men

Charlie Harper is back!

After publicly considering leaving Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen has agreed to return to the hit sitcom for two more years.

“To put a fitting end on the two and one-half months of whirlwind speculation, I’m looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights,” Sheen says in a statement.

The actor, whose contract expired last month, recently denied reports his salary negotiations for a new contract were an 11th-hour negotiating ploy, saying he had remained firm on his terms to return since last June.

CBS is expected to officially announce Sheen and the show’s return before unveiling its fall lineup to advertisers on Wednesday.

No Charlie Sheen = No Two and a Half Men

How could Two and a Half Men ever continue without Charlie Sheen? Well, it can’t and apparently it won’t.

For months the highest paid actor on televsion has been going through nothing but drama.

In March Sheen plead not guilty to domestic violence charges, then there was the speculation that he was leaving his hit sitcom, and of course his latest problems include addiction issues and the whole shaving head incident. Needless to say, Charlie seems to be hitting rock bottom.

Did people really think the show could go on without the lead character? Many have assumed it was just a negotiating tactic, while others predicted the show would continue on without the actor.

An insider told Radaronline, “There has been absolutely no discussion about reworking Two and a Half Men without Charlie. No one is even considering it, at this moment, if Charlie doesn’t come back, that’s the end of the series.”

Rumor has it that after spending seven years on the sitcom, Charlie is ready to move on to other endeavors. The break would certainly give him some space to get his personal life back together before he works on his professional life.

The upside is that Two and a Half Men would be going on while still on top — not a bad place to leave things.

Charlie Sheen Leaving Two and a Half Men?

Charlie Sheen wants out.

After seven seasons, CBS’s hit sitcom Two and a Half Men will be down one man after the April 9th taping, sources have stated. The reason? “Charlie’s just done,” says a set source. “And he’s quietly telling his friends he’s not coming back.”

Although sources say the network hoped the star would sign a new contract for an eighth season, Sheen recently turned down the offer. “He wants to move on,” says a friend of the actor, whose contract is fulfilled after he tapes this season’s 22nd episode. “Leaving is 100 percent his idea.”

Sheen rep Stan Rosenfield would only say: “Charlie’s deal is only through this current season.”

Sheen, who faces domestic violence charges stemming from a Christmas Day fight with wife Brooke Mueller, entered rehab on February 24th as “a preventative measure” and has been returning to rehab after work each night.

A CBS spokesperson says the network doesn’t comment on contract issues. But a source close to the show says “negotiations are ongoing and nothing has been determined.”

Jones) starting to drive and date.

Sheen Stays Employed

According to sources at CBS, the network is set to make an unprecedented renewal, ordering a full three seasons of the Two and a Half Men.

The Charlie Sheen starrer is the top-rated comedy on TV.

The deal would carry it through its ninth season.

At the same time, its prime-time partner The Big Bang Theory will reportedly get a two season renewal.

This allows the network to plan on having popular, anchor shows in the schedule. That is not only appealing to advertisers, but lets execs schedule new shows as part of a successful comedy block.
