2) Charlie Harper (Two and a Half Men)
Charlie Sheen’s public meltdown was a major reason for his character’s death. Sheen clashed openly with show creator Chuck Lorre, criticizing him in interviews. His behavior on and off set became unpredictable, including allegations of substance abuse. Lorre and the studio felt Sheen’s presence was harming the show. His contract was terminated during the eighth season. The writers chose to kill Charlie Harper in an exaggerated, comedic manner. Ashton Kutcher was later brought in as the show’s new lead. Sheen’s exit remains one of TV’s most controversial firings.
