Hopefully, we’re getting to the end of Sheen-gate now. The Hollywood Reporter has an article outline how Charlie Sheen’s character might be written out of the show. According to their article, Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, will die in the season premiere this September.

Killing the character by having him drive off a cliff is one of the ways “Men” co-creator Chuck Lorre and other producers are thinking about dealing with the character. According to TMZ, by killing the character, this could make a return visit by Charlie Sheen impossible.

The other problem, how to introduce Ashton Kutcher into the cast, is also being thought over, but hopefully his entrance won’t be as dramatic as Charlie Harper’s supposed exit. In any case, TMZ’s sources state that the “Men” script hasn’t been finalized yet.

Charlie Sheen was fired from the show after calling Lorre a “maggot” as well as saying Lorre and the exects at CBS and Warner TV “Nazis”, among other things. He then went on a dramatic spree of Twitter promotions along with creating “Sheen’s Korner”, going on his “Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option” tour, and even helping out in tornado-ravaged Alabama (something, as a native Alabamian, I’m still surprised about).

What do you think about Charlie Harper being killed off? If you had the chance to write him out of the show, how would you do it?
