Charlie Gets Driven Off Cliff To End CBS Saga
The Charlie Sheen saga at CBS looks to be coming to a halt, perhaps symbolically represented by the character he played on Two and a Half Men being killed off to begin the show’s ninth season.
The suggested plotline by producers for the season’s opening episode is reported to be that the other titular characters, of Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) and his teenage son Jake (Angus T Jones), learn of the off-screen death of Charlie Harper. Sheen’s replacement actor Ashton Kutcher (currently unnamed character) is then said to be written in as the buyer of the Harper home, and allowing Alan and Jake to remain in the house with him, in a move by producers that would suggest the format of the show would not change much from when Sheen was still the lead actor.
After Sheen’s much-publicised sacking in March following a string of arguments with Chuck Lorre (show creator), it seems as though his character is being prepared for a solution that will ensure he cannot return to the show in future episodes officially terminating the relationship between the actor and the producers.
A number of scenarios were said to be set out for writing off the character of Charlie Harper, with producers reportedly having a number of potential scenarios for his death, with the most prominent apparently being that he drives his car off of a cliff. Some reports have made suggestions that the character will not actually be killed, instead using the final scene that Sheen portrayed before his breakdown (ironically being that Charlie Harper leaves for an airport) as a foundation for the explanation of his on-screen absence.
A decision will have to be made soon, though, as filming for the new season begins on August 5. Will this moment finally be the last that the Two and a Half Men team have to associate with Charlie Sheen?
