She was written off the show because she didn’t want to keep working with Wetherly. The show has his name and face on it. Do you honestly think Paramount’s telling the truth when it says Roseanne without Roseanne is doing well?

Is I don’t like my co-worker now a reason to re-write entire shows that audiences already like? How well did that work out for “Two and a Half Men?”

Charlie Harper basically WAS Charlie Sheen (the episode where Charlie Harper was nominated for a jingle award was actually about the Oscars and the times Sheen was nominated) once Sheen was gone, no matter how horrible his behavior was, nobody wanted to watch Ashton Kutcher who wasn’t nearly as good of a foil to Jon Cryer and the show died a horrible ratings death. “Two and a Half Men” is a classic example of an actor’s “brand” - everything about Charlie Sheen’s weird life in and out of the tabloids - becoming a useful plot device for a television show and how audience interest in that brand could be parlayed into ratings and advertising dollars.

“She was written off the show because she didn’t want to keep working with Wetherly.”

More likely she was written off the show because the CBS execs didn’t want the conflict between Weatherly and her to persist on the set and become another Moonves saga.
