RIP to The Game, Melanie & Derwin Characters Getting New Faces

[G.O.A.T]

Since actors Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall’s sudden and unexplained departure from BET’s hit dramedy “The Game,” the show’s producers have been on the prowl for talent that would replace the now former series’ stars. Enter actress Lauren London, who has been added to the cast of the program reports TVLine. “The Game” which will enter its sixth season centers around the lives of football players and the women who love them.

The petite 27-year-old actress’ breakout starring role was in the 2006 film “ATL” opposite rapper Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. or as he is best known as, T.I. The performer also appeared in “Next Day Air,” “Good Hair” and “Madea’s Big Happy Family.” London has done some small screen work as well, such as on the HBO comedy hit series “Entourage” and the now defunct comedy ”Everybody Hates Chris.”

Although her acting background has been pretty limited, London’s most memorable role and one that put her on the map was when she announced that rap superstar Lil Wayne was her baby daddy. The half African-American, half Jewish performer gave birth to Wayne’s son in September 2009.

London, whose career has mostly spanned music videos with artists such as Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams will reportedly play a character named “Kiera” on “The Game.”

As far as who will replace Hall’s character “Derwin” on the show is still a mystery.

I was getting tired of Tia Mowry's character anyway. Derwin's baby mother couldve played his wife better if u ask me.

 

[Mr210]

seriously lauren london?

 

[MewTwo]

The only thing I don't like about Lauren London is the fact that she was impregnated by a talentless retarded roach. A woman that beautiful most certainly deserves better.

Birdman lookin out for his son.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Wait, so they gonna try to replace the same characters with different actors?

Like Aunt Vivian on Fresh Prince?


Wow, I thought they were gonna switch up the storyline and say Derwin got traded or something like that. Lauren London is a upgrade from Tia looks wise but I think she is a slight downgrade when it comes to acting ability.

I could actually start watchng this show again if they would get rid of that stupid laugh track, it ruins the show for me.

This show is trash. I loved it until it was handed over to BET.

They need to gone 'head and get rid of this and take that stupid "Let's Stay Together" with it.
