[edit] Production

Lynskey left Two and a Half Men for a role on the Fox television series Drive. She said "I'm finished over there, I guess. I was sort of looking to do something different, and I read this script, and I really thought it was amazing. And I had such a great situation on Two and a Half Men, so I wouldn't have left it for any old thing. It was kind of a different job, but this, I couldn't pass it up."^[1] After Drive was cancelled, she was brought back onto the show.^[2]

[edit] History

Rose is Charlie Harper's ex-neighbor, and stalker. Rose met Charlie in a bar, and they both got drunk and she became one of Charlie`s one-night stands. She fell in love with him and started to stalk him by doing weird things like super glueing his testicles to his thighs, breaking into the house, taking things from the fridge, getting naked and chaining herself to the fridge and sitting on the laundry basket naked.

She soon became friends with Charlie, Alan and Jake. Rose is in love with Charlie but it is not reciprocated by Charlie. Once she made a page called charlieharpersucks.com, that was used by all the women with whom Charlie had one-night stands. Rose closed the page when Charlie said that he was sorry for making her one of his one-night stands.

Rose leaves Malibu to go to England for a job that she took because she said her love with Charlie was not going anywhere. She returned when she was sent away from London, and resumed stalking Charlie.

Rose also claims to have lost her virginity to Charlie Harper and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith at the same time. When Charlie thought it was the music of Aerosmith, Rose said she slept with Tyler.

In season 6 of Two and a Half Men, Charlie Harper's fiance Chelsea brought Rose to dinner for Alan Harper. After Rose found out that Charlie is engaged to Chelsea, she starts stalking Alan, though it is possible that she could be stalking both brothers.

Rose has not appeared in Season 7 so far.

[edit] Reception

Commenting on the difference between playing Rose and other roles that Lynskey is in, Rebecca Barry of the The New Zealand Herald said "Indeed, Rose might seem like a walk in the park to play compared with some of her other roles - channelling lesbian killer instincts can't have been easy".^[3]
