He’s suggesting that he could return to the CBS sitcom, which is entering its final season, although the chance of that actually happening probably isn’t very good.

In an interview with TV Guide magazine, Sheen says he’s “reached out” to the studio behind Two and a Half Men and “they’ve reached back.” He says he has an idea in mind for his return, adding, “We’re trying to figure out what makes the most sense. If they figure it out like I’ve presented it to them and they want to include me in some final send-off, I’m available and I’m showing up early. If not, it’s on them.”

Despite what Sheen says, TV Guide insiders maintain that producers have not spoken with the actor regarding a future appearance on Two and a Half Men. He didn’t exactly leave the show on good terms, criticizing creator Chuck Lorre and various executives in a series of heated rants before his firing in 2011.

Sheen attempted to extend an olive branch to Lorre on Twitter last November, but he tells TV Guide that “personally” he has yet to make peace with Lorre.

Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, was killed off after he was given the pink slip, and Ashton Kutcher took his place in the cast. Sheen has since moved on to Anger Management, for which he says he has shot 87 of the 100 episodes ordered by FX.

The final season of Two and a Half Men begins on CBS Oct. 30.
