Cast and crew of Two And A Half Men are reportedly "angry" at the news that a number of upcoming episodes have been cut in light of Charlie Sheen's hiatus from the hit sitcom.

But if that is the case, it's happening behind the scenes as Charlie's cast mates refuse to bash him publicly.

In fact, Holland Taylor, who plays Charlie's acid-tongued on-screen mother, Evelyn Harper is standing firmly by the actor, telling Breaking Celebrity News: "All I can say is that I have the highest regard for the people working-on and producing the show and for Charlie's well being too."
