14 DAY TRIAL // One of the most burning questions regarding the brand new season of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men” is what will happen to Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper. A few possible answers to it have emerged online.
Deadline has a few hints as to what the brand new season of the sitcom will bring new for audiences and, as AceShowbiz confirms, it’s pretty major stuff.
As fans must know, Sheen has been fired from the show and Ashton Kutcher was hired in his stead. His role is yet to be revealed, which means there’s plenty of room for speculation.
“The script which has been kept under wraps mentions that the Malibu beachfront house, where Charlie Sheen’s Charlie Harper lived with his brother Alan and nephew Jake, is put up for sale,” AceShowbiz writes.
This will allow writers to introduce Kutcher’s character once Charlie Harper is gone.
“It is additionally said that a number of real-life celebrities, including some from Chuck Lorre’s previous or current series, will tour the house, possibly joined by newly added regular cast Ashton Kutcher,” the e-zine says.
Also featured on the first episode of the show are Charlie Harper’s ex-girlfriends – most of them, says the report. They could be summoned to his funeral, for instance.
“The taping for a new episode of ‘Men’ will take place this Friday, August 5 in front of live audience. To keep secrecy, some key scenes may be filmed separately with no audience and producers will reportedly ban press from the taping,” AceShowbiz writes.
As for Harper’s exit, this could go either way: he could be killed off in some gruesome plane or car crash, or he could undergo surgery to look younger, in which case the character will live on but will be played by Kutcher.
“This plot would be the safest way to continue the show since it still can have the exact same premise and dynamics that made it TV’s most-watched sitcom for years. The name of Kucther’s character itself has not been officially announced which adds fuel to the speculation,” the aforementioned publication notes.
