Now, we don't want to be douche bags and give it all away -- so we'll just say that in one brilliantly written scene, the producers make sure there's absolutely no way for 'Charlie Harper' to return to the show in the future.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although ... he definitely leaves his mark on the episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/ashton-kutcher/\"&gt;Ashton Kutcher&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;'s debut -- we're told he and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/jon-cryer/\"&gt;Jon Cryer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; had good \nchemistry ... and he went out of his way to interact with the audience.&amp;#160; At one point Ashton even snuck into the crowd and surprised a woman with a back rub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least one audience member said Ashton seemed dry and didn't quite own the \ncharacter. Can't please 'em all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/06/0806-thm-set-cbs-credit.jpg\" alt=\"0806_thm_set_cbs\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and our spies didn't spot &lt;strong&gt;Demi Moore&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Chuck Lorre&lt;/strong&gt; -- but it's a good bet Chuck was there to finally say sayonara to &lt;span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"&gt;Charlie Sheen&lt;/span&gt; Charlie Harper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
