I’ll be interested to see how he gets weaved into the story.

I presume he won’t just be a replacement Charlie the way they replaced Dick York with Dick Seargent on Bewitched and hoped nobody would notice.

I assume he’ll be a new character...will they kill Charlie off? Will Kutcher play some long lost illegitimate son of Charlies or perhaps a cousin of Charlie and Alan?

Yup. They certainly won’t be able to get away with pulling out one Dick and quickly slipping in a new Dick like they did back in the old days...

My guess is that they'll kill off Charlie or put him in rehab (extended) and that Kutcher is the caretaker or beneficiary (multiple backstories here on how this came to be). Another option is Charlie is dead, Alan gets the house and takes on a boarder or is forced to (BIL for a girlfriend etc.)

Come to think of it, the writers are a bunch of lazy asses...they're probably waiting for us to come up with something neat.
