: We're about 99.9 PERCENT sure that we're DONE with The Game. But if ANYONE could restore our faith in the series - it's actress Lauren London. And she just got HIRED on as Tia's replacement.
Here's how it's being reported by HollywoodReporter.com:
[Lauren London] — whose credits also include Single Ladies and Madea’s Big Happy Family – will play Kiera, a former child star who is currently appearing in a Cosby Show-esque sitcom. Producers are also on the lookout for an actor to play an all-star running back. Both roles are intended to fill the void left by departing cast members Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall (aka Melanie and Derwin). Back for the new season are Wendy Raquel Robinson, Coby Bell, Hosea Chanchez, Brandy Norwood and Barry A. Floyd.
wow the show has just took a turn for the worse with that casting choice.... cheap *** BET WOULD NOT PAY THEIR STARS MORE MONEY....Like everyone else on cable that has the #1 show.... they should get paid more than un sag reality stars... Bet is all kinds of wrong and they take advantage of actors by not paying them equitable rates foul and lame.
C'mon yall you guy are acting like they were such good actors... Thats the industry baby.. Don't be mad at BET be made and Tia and Pooch.. They heads got to big for there briches.. Thats what happensd when the executives call your bluff.. I will still be watching becasue my favs are Coby Bell and Wendy Robinson.. so idgaf they leaving... I love Lauren London.. Follow me @MzBlackMamba
Without Melanie and Derwin it wn't be the same. BET really messed up the show. The writing changed and the show lost its edge. That baby should have been revealed as not Derwin's, Kelly and Jason should have gotten back together, tasha should have stayed w Rick Fox, and Malik, Meagen Good, and Jenna should have been developed more.
