Charlie Sheen was a well-established actor with multiple hits before transitioning to the small screen. His stint with CBS’s Two and a Half Men proved to be another success, and the show ran for multiple seasons before he left it.
Sheen’s role as the womanizer Charlie Harper also gave him a lot of notoriety due to this realistic performance. Throughout the series, Harper got involved with multiple women only some sticking around to be a serious love interest for the fickle character. A Reddit chain struck a heated debate arguing over two of the actor’s most celebrated onscreen girlfriends from the show.
Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?
Actors who shift their presence from the big screen to appearing as regulars on TV shows can only dream of getting the recognition that Charlie Sheen got. The Platoon actor struck gold with his CBS show Two and a Half Men which portrayed him as Charlie Harper.
Much like his real-life personality, his onscreen character was also popular for his extensive dating history. Though Harper preferred his dating life to be one-and-done, some girls did stick around for a while. In the end, before his character was written off, he fled to Paris with his stalker Rose (played by Melanie Lynskey).

However, a Reddit chain got embroiled in a peculiar debate around two principal girlfriends of the character from the show. The topics of discussion were Mia and Kandi, who were portrayed by Emmanuelle Vaugier and April Bowlby respectively.
The argument blew over as fans began to side with either of the two characters who although weren’t the ones to reform the playboy they did play recurring roles. Most comments seemed to be siding with Kandi as the prototype of ‘sitcom beauty,’ while others criticized Mia for her attitude.
The not-so-serious partner and the infatuation
Fans of the Chuck Lorre show would recall Kandi as Alan’s on-and-off love interest, but she was first with his brother. She was first seeing Charlie, who broke things off with her as soon as he met Mia.
While Bowlby’s character wasn’t known for her intellect or smarts, she was one of the most fun and beautiful actresses on the show. Unfortunately, her relationship with the second brother also didn’t work out because she couldn’t hold intellectual conversations with him.
Then came Mia who was the actual reason behind Harper ending things with Kandi. The character was obsessed with the smart and spunky woman and even ended up getting engaged, showing a rare moment of commitment.
In the end, things didn’t last with her too and Vaugier’s character broke things off this time. Later, the character appeared again while her ex-boyfriend was in a pretty serious relationship.
Charlie’s bond with Chelsea was almost threatened by Mia’s seemingly innocent comeback and when she asked for a redo. However, he declined her offer and instead chose to stay loyal to his then-partner, played by Jennifer Taylor.
Two and a Half Men is currently available to watch on Peacock.
