Lyndsey Ruth Anne McElroy is a major recurring character of Two and a Half Men from Season 7 onwards. She is the mother of Eldridge McElroy; who is a friend of Jake Harper; and is in an relationship with Alan.

Appearance[]

Lyndsey McElroy is an average height, fair haired, attractive woman with a slim figure. Her looks remain this way all through the series. Through the series she ages minorly, but still keeps her figure.

Personality[]

Lyndsey has always come off as slightly masculine judging by her enjoyment of drinking beer. Lyndsey used to have a drinking problem and that became apparent after she vomits all over the inside of Walden's private jet, after getting deliriously drunk.

Though she loves and cares about Alan, Lyndsey is considerably lascivious and has had attractions to other men, like Walden, while they were still dating. This, and at the series finale, she even went to the pawn shop to see how much the engagement ring Alan gave her cost. It is unlikely that she actually pawned it however.

Pre-Series[]

While she was in high school, Lyndsey desperately needed money and consequently appeared in a soft-core pornography film entitled "Cinnamon Buns". It included a bakery shop scene where she was covered in frosting. Herb Melnick discovers this film and fantasizes about her being naked. Lyndsey confirms her past to Charlie and Alan.

She lost her virginity back stage at a Police concert. Her lover was not named, but she claimed her first time "stinged a little bit".

Season 7[]

Lyndsey first meets Alan in the episode "Keith Moon Is Vomiting In His Grave", where she is introduced as Eldridge’s mother. Whilst Alan’s original intentions were to tell Eldridge on her, he is stunned by her beauty, and instead goes out with her for a drink. They then wind up having sex in the toilet. She then starts seeing him regularly, and the two start dating. Due to either of them not being able to get alone time at either of their homes, Alan buys a hotel room for their private time. However, the date doesn’t go as planned, as Lyndsey suffers a period. She does appreciate Alan’s patience with her, and the two grow fond of each other. They intend to keep their relationship hidden from their children.

Season 8[]

Lyndsey and Alan’s get-together is found out by Jake and Eldridge. After asking for forgiveness, Alan and Lyndsey dine together with their children, and announce their relationship to them. Lyndsey later on asks Alan to move in with her. Though initially reluctant to do so, Alan accepts when he realizes that it will annoy Judith. Trouble arises when Eldridge and Jake are not comfortable in staying with each other, to which Charlie bribes them with $ 500 and $ 100 for every month they continue the practice.

When Alan moves out, he meets Melissa, and lies about his relation with Lyndsey, having sex with Melissa a couple of times before texting her about the truth. He returns to Lyndsey fulltime, only to burn her house with a smoking pipe, and once again moving back into Charlie’s beach house, this time with Lyndsey and Eldridge accompanying him and Jake. Lyndsey becomes cold towards Alan after the incident, and when her ex-husband Chris McElroy asks her to talk with him (conceiving the idea that they might get back together), she leaves him. However, she calls Alan, as things do not work out with Chris, and they get back together.

On Lyndsey’s birthday, Alan works very hard to get her a decent birthday gift, but fails. He ultimately steals earrings from Judith’s jewelry box, which he got her just before their marriage ended, and she never used them. He later on also steals a necklace.

Lyndsey’s final appearance of Season 8 is in "Skunk, Dog, Crap and Ketchup", where she and Charlie bond over a chat regarding sports betting, where she revealed that she works for a sports bookie in Vegas. Alan thought that her bond with Charlie was romantic, as Charlie had stolen many of Alan’s past girlfriends. Alan and Lyndsey have a heated discussion, after which they relationship seizes again. Alan later spies on her and Charlie at her party, where he doesn’t get invited. Though Charlie explains to Lyndsey that Alan’s reaction are valid; and to give him another chance, Alan catches them again, assuming his suspicions are true, and calls them Bastard and Slut.

First, it will be with Walden and then again with another girl of Alan's choice. Alan tells Walden about their plan and Walden agrees to participate. That night, in bed, the threesome goes awry with Lyndsey paying more attention to Walden, making Alan uncomfortable and Walden begins crying as he is still not over Zoey. The next night, at Pavlov's, Alan picks up a woman with Lyndsey's help, but the other threesome is derailed when she meets Walden.

And in "Clank, Clank, Drunken Skank" She suggests Alan to hang out with a woman named Stephanie but he ends up sleeping with her and he tells Lyndsey who is aghast and leaves the house.

Also in "Alan Harper, Pleasing Women Since 2003", Alan meets Lyndsey's boyfriend Larry, when Alan refers to himself as "Jeff Strongman" so Larry doesn't flip out and dump Lyndsey. They bond and hang out together which makes Lyndsey pleased. She asks him to retrieve something from her car to confront Alan directly, but the two wind up having sex in the suite's restroom.

In "Dial 1-900-Mix-A-Lot", after Gretchen found out who Alan really is, she pushes him to tell the truth to Larry, while Lyndsey tells him not to, as he would call off the wedding.

However, in "Oh, Wald-e, Good Times Ahead", Alan ends up telling him anyway. As she expected, Larry called off the wedding and Gretchen accepted Alan's proposal. When Lyndsey realizes that she lost both Alan and Larry, she goes through a mental breakdown by putting their pictures on pillows and talking to them, invading a restaurant's bathroom to "accept" Alan's "proposal", and going drunk to his marriage in order to retrieve him.
