'Two & A Half Men' Reportedly Casting New Character, Will Resume Taping in July! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok, Charlie Sheen continues to bomb away on his tour. Yesterday, lawyers for Warner Bros. sent him a letter saying there was no chance Sheen was coming back to “Two a Half Men.” Not happening. Sheen’s lawyer, Marty Singer, countered that was “ridiculous” and there have been talks. Hmmm…My sources say that Warner’s, CBS, and Chuck Lorre are cooking up a replacement character and talking to new actors.

It won’t be easy, but come July, when the show resumes shooting, my guess is that Jon Cryer will open the door to a long lost brother or cousin. An explanation? “Charlie’s in Alaska at a sex colony.” End of story. Yes, “Bewitched” changed Darrins. More recently, Shannen Doherty was replaced by Rose McGowan on “Charmed.” She was a new sister. Shannen’s character was never mentioned again. On a cult show called “Unhappily Ever After,” they killed off the mom and turned her into a ghost. Characters on shows like “ER” and “NYPD Blue” were killed off and replaced quite often. The question is now — who will be cast? An existing star? An up-and-comer? A new face?

Charlie doesn’t seem to be getting the message. The tour was a bust last night in Toronto, with more booing and boozing. With every new appearance comes the declining chance that CBS will take him back. Stop now, before it’s really too late.

It shouldn't be an up and comer because this probably won't work. If it's a newbie to acting, this will follow them around as killing "Two and a Half Men." It should be an actor who's reputation isn't fragile, so if the show bombs, eh, it's no biggie. If it succeeds, he can stay with it and enjoy a nice run.

It will probably be Ted McGinley! He's done this so many times before. He repaced Ron Howard on "Happy Days" as Ritchie's cousin Roger. He replaced David Garrison on "Married With Children" as Marcy's new husband Jefferson D'arcy. A betting man would put money on Ted McGinley replacing Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men"!

I hope they've written the final episode already, because this is doomed to failure.

They should just let it go. It's over.
