And the second big mystery of the upcoming season of Two and a Half Men is solved: we now know how Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) dies.
In an effort to make sure Sheen could never return to Two and a Half Men, producers decided to kill off the Charlie character violently and unsympathetically; thus, the premiere will open with Charlie’s funeral. But you all already knew that. So how do they do it? Murder. But “justified” murder.
Over the course of the summer, Charlie Harper and his fiance Rose (Melanie Lynskey) have eloped to Paris. While on their honeymoon, Rose finds Charlie in the shower with another woman. In a fit of calculated rage, Rose pushes Charlie onto the tracks of a French subway, where he is killed. Rose will pass this off as an accident, and probably never face any ramifications (to further instill the producers’ philosophy that killing any incarnation of Sheen is all G in the H).
Several celebrity guests will attend Charlie’s funeral: Jenny McCarthy, reprising her role as Charlie’s ex-girlfriend Courtney, John Stamos, who was in the running to play Sheen’s replacement.
The premiere will also introduce Ashton Kutcher as internet billionaire Walden Schmidt, who will fill the newly vacant spot in the main cast comprised of Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.
