Although the popular ratings-getter (Two and a Half Men) was renewed by the Network for two years weeks ago - the top gun largely responsible for the success of the hit show (in my estimation) - was still a loose cannon until about twenty-four hours ago.
Industry analysts snickered on the sidelines that Sheen's threat to walk was simply a last minute bargaining chip.
Not true.
The talented actor prone to be led around by the end of his di** confided this past week that his salary demand (which he hasn't strayed from) was on the table last June.
At $825,000 per episode, the diminuitive actor attained the lofty status of being the most-highly-paid sitcom star on Television.
If Sheen scooped a raise, no one is talking about it.
Once the pact was signed, both sides have remained tight-lipped about the terms and conditions.
"I'm looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights," Sheen announced in a prepared statement a scant few hours ago.
Network execs must be breathing a sigh of relief.
The show was shut down for three weeks in February to accommodate Sheen who entered rehab for preventative care.
Now that the contract cliffhanger is over, Charlie can focus on his personal life, as he prepares to return to court in Colorado on July 21st on domestic violence charges.
