There have been ongoing discussions about Charlie Sheen's reprising his role as part of the "Two and a Half Men" season 12 cast. Recently, however, the actor's name had appeared in the headlines again, this time in a lawsuit filed by his dentist, accusing him of sexual assault. Given this recent development, will his alleged comeback favor the sitcom's final season?

First things first, on Charlie Sheen's reported return as one of the "Two and a Half Men" season 12 cast: NY Daily News has confirmed that the actor has opened himself to a possible return.

The site reported that the actor's rep has discussed the matter with E!, saying, "A balloon was floated so to speak. Everyone kind of went, hmmm, that could be kind of interesting. And that is the state where it is. (Sheen) would like to do that for all the fans that watch the show all those years and continue to watch it in syndication."

As of press time, the producers have not confirmed whether the actor will be returning or not. Also, Ballard, as reported by NY Daily News, added that it has not yet been determined whether the comedy show's final season would have 50 episodes more, given that it has already exceeded its original 100 episode limit.

While talks finalizing these issues are underway, the actor got himself into another legal bind. This time, as shared by BetaWired, Sheen is in hot water again after Margarita Palestino, his personal dentist technician, filed a complaint against him, suing him for sexual assault and threats.

Sheen's lawyer rebuffed the accusation. He considered it a ridiculous case and called the accuser an opportunist who only wanted to get attention. With this, he confidently stated that Sheen would rise above the allegation.

Will this new development affect Charlie Sheen's probable return to the "Two and a Half Men" season 12 cast?

Fans will just have to wait and see how things turn out for the actor and the sitcom's final season in the future updates.
