‘Two and a Half Men’ season 12: Could Charlie Sheen return in final episodes?
This is a question that you are probably going to see asked in the media time and time again over the next several months, so you better just prepare for it now: How possible is it that we see Charlie Sheen show up on “Two and a Half Men” in the future.
Before we do anything else, let’s share the reason for this story: Charlie Sheen reportedly telling an X17Online photographer that he’d be willing to come back for the final season, which will premiere on CBS this fall.
Ultimately, this is all well and good, but it doesn’t quite answer whether or not the show would want him back. From a story standpoint, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense unless you claim that Charlie Harper faked his own death somehow … but the way the show explained it makes that seem unlikely. He’d have to show up in a dream sequence most likely.
Also, you have to wonder if anyone would want to deal with him from a production standpoint, given that he was fired from his job working on the show after a very intense series of showdowns with boss Chuck Lorre.
The only argument that makes sense when it comes to Charlie’s return? Looking at things from a standpoint of ratings. Charlie’s “death” episode and the debut of Ashton Kutcher brought gigantic ratings to the show, and a return for Sheen could move the needles some. Given the lack of ratings success for “Anger Management,” though, we feel that this would not be anywhere near the same sort of boom that the show got from hiring Ashton and the curiosity surrounding the firing scandal.

if Charlie Sheen will be back on TAAHM, that episode will be for sure the highest rated ever

Charlie Sheen was fired. He shouldn’t be allowed back on the show.

I think, all, if any.
Rose trapped Charlie in her basement, Alan comes to her house in desperate need for money, and when she goes upstairs to get her purse, Alan hears someone yelling in the basement. He goes and sees it’s Charlie, and while saving him, Rose is pointing a gun at Alan, and Charlie hands are untied enough to grab Alan’s phone, (which dropped out of his pocket) and calls Walden, which says ‘The young man I live off of’. Rose is not paying attention to Charlie, and takes Alan for “a drive”, Charlie tells Walden everything and Walden and Jenny go to save him. Rose has Alan at the edge of a cliff, but Evelyn drives by and is suspicious, Rose is looking at her making up excuses, still pointing at Alan, while he grabs the gun, but Rose is quick enough to push him over, however, Alan is saved by Walden’s jet. Charlie and Jenny are bonding. Walden’s jet is shot down by the gun Rose caught during Alan’s fall, Walden, Alan, Charlie and Jenny feel like they are going to die, ending the first episode of the season… to be continued.

Charlie Sheen, and Angus T. Jones, both made their beds and now they have to lie in them. Charlie had a drug issue so I can under stand his attitude issues, but Angus was a stupid idiot to bite that hand that fed him so well all those years. Angus spit in the face of the everyone on that show. I don’t know what religious freak crawled up his butt-hole and brainwashed him, but he shouldn’t have listened. It takes a special kind of stupid to spit on the people that made you rich.

Charlie’s return is less then interesting, what should happen is revealing Roses dirty schemes that caused Walden and Nicole to split up because Rose (as Nicole’s investor) sent her to China. I know Walden caused a big issue because of the misreading the signals of the free-spirit girl, but all that would have been moot if it wasn’t for Rose screwing things up in the first place.
