Kathy Bates: to play the ghost of Charlie Harper

Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates will make a guest appearance on an upcoming episode of Two and a Half Men.

Oddly enough Bates will play the ghost of Charlie Sheen’s former character Charlie Harper. After Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) suffers a minor heart attack, his brother's ghost pays a visit to his hospital bedside.

Meanwhile, both Sheen’s replacement Ashton Kutcher and Two and a Half Men showrunner Chuck Lorre admitted that they are not sure if the show will be renewed for another season.

Kutcher said: "I don't think that the show's been picked up for another year. I'm absolutely adoring the time that I'm having, but I haven't heard from the powers that be yet, so I don't know."

Lorre added: "It's unusual when they cancel a show that's in the top ten. I think there's hope... I think reinventing the show going forward, everybody has to sign back up."
