Teri Hatcher as Liz | Then
Liz is Judith’s sister and is seen as the “sleaze-ball” in the show. She is the woman Charlie ended up having sex with in the coatroom during Alan and Judith’s wedding, though he does not remember. She is introduced for the first time at Jake’s birthday party which eventually gets messy. Judith and Liz get into some heat after Judith sees Liz hitting on Alan.
In a comical twist, Liz ends up taking Alan to a room and Judith grabs Charlie along with her instead. However, both sisters just end up backing out.
Jenny McCarthy as Courtney Leopold | Then
Courtney Leopold was the minor recurring character in the show. She was played as the former professional con-artist, and eventually Charlie’s temporary girlfriend. Though Alan warns Charlie of Courtney’s sociopathic tendencies, he still decides to go on with their relationship. Alan is, of course, proven right after Courtney successfully convinces Charlie to give her $50,000 and give her a Ferrari. Talk about lavish needs!
Charlie then proposes to her but ends up not pushing through with the marriage after finding out that her real name is Sylvia and her parents are con-artists in reality. That’s some pretty sketchy stuff right there.

Jaime Pressly as Tammy | Then
Tammy is the ex-girlfriend of Jake Harper and also the mother of three children. Although all her tattoos may say otherwise, Tammy is actually a soft and good-hearted woman.
It’s no wonder she felt absolutely torn and betrayed when she found out that Jake had sex with Tammy’s daughter, Ashley. That indeed was a little too far!
