Will Charlie Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" character be killed off?
(CBS) Now that Ashton Kutcher is heading to "Two and a Half Men," series creator Chuck Lorre reportedly wants to make sure Charlie Sheen (and his character, Charlie Harper) can never return to the show again.
TMZ reports, citing sources connected to the CBS sitcom, that Harper will be killed off.
The new season's first episode won't be filmed until around Aug. 5, according to the website, but producers are already imagining scenarios for the character's death. One of them reportedly includes Harper driving his car over a cliff - which would be fitting, since two of Sheen's cars went down a cliff last year.
And while it looks like Sheen won't be returning to "Men" (except, perhaps, via the afterlife), TBS is also denying reports that the actor is heading to the network.
RadarOnline.com reported that Sheen has signed a sitcom deal with Lionsgate Television that would have him playing a character similar to his "Two and a Half Men" persona. "Networks and cable are bidding on the show right now, with TBS being the front runner," an insider said, according to the website.
But the network denies the talks are happening.
"TBS is not in discussions for a possible project with Charlie Sheen," a spokesperson said in a statement.
