Melanie and Derwin 2.0? There’s a New Couple Coming To ‘The Game’

BET didn’t take long getting “The Game’s” storyline together post-Melanie and Derwin. According to Zap 2 it’s blog, there are two new cast members coming to town, and presumably taking over as the main characters for season 6. Here’s the deal according to their spoilers:

“With Tia Mowry leaving the show, producers are looking for a new female actress to join the cast in the regular role of Kiera, a 20-year-old former child star who has been in the spotlight since she was five years old and starring on a ‘Cosby’ style sitcom. According to the casting call, she’s bright and charming, but struggling into transitioning into a grown-up career.

“Kiera isn’t the only newbie in town! Another series regular will be hired to play Bryce ‘The Blueprint’ Westbook – a #1, Ivy League draft pick running back who breaks every ‘dumb athlete’ stereotype. He’s not only got a Heisman Trophy, but he’s usually the smartest guy in the room — which sets his new teammates on edge.”

I think we can assume from the descriptions these two may not get along so well with Tasha Mack and Malik. I’m not terribly excited about the character concepts but it is what it is. Since there’s nothing fans can do to resurrect Melanie and Derwin or demand better story lines, let’s have some fun with this:

What actors would you want to see fill the rolls of Kiera and Bryce?

    Christian Keyes should play Bryce & Christina Milian should play Kiera.

  • Mystique

    Darn, I hate Pooch and Tia are leaving the show.

  • Msmykimoto2u

    Absolutely terrible….can we just get Tamera to take over as Melanie? Better yet, use this opportunity for the character of Toni from GF’s to return and somehow tame Maleik and bump heads with Tasha. (Would LOVE to see them fight over sunbeam leadership) And hell, lets throw Lynn and WIlliam in there too!

  • moni0923

    BET just needs to cancel the show. It isn’t a show without Melanie and Derwin and the whole crew, so just get rid of it. I am not watching ANYMORE!!!!

  • A True Fan

    I like Brandy but she has no business being on The Game the storyline with her and Jason sucks, bring back Kelly. Show has gone down hill since leaving the CW. It’s been a challenge to remind a faithful viewer. The show just looks so low budget now. However I will tune in just to see.

    • kiki j

      i so agree about brandy and kelly! I am a brandy fan but chardonay? seriousl! and i was done with the show when kelly left for real

    kiera should be played by either reagan gomez preston or angell conwell, maybe even tatyanna ali. bryce should be jason weaver or omar gooding.

    • Msmykimoto2u

      All for Jason weaver or omar. (they so should have gotten a spin off show together of them going to college cus they are freaking hilarious)

  • carameleyes

    Even though I’m not a faithful watcher, I don’t mind the change in characters because its realistic. Players are always switching teams. And maybe this is just the change they need to bring it back The Game back to life.

  • Trina

    Why not just leave the show alone and let it die like all the rest of the shows BET has had its hands in….name one show that was successful besides that teeny bopper 106 & Park mess ????????*crickets*…my point exactly..with the exit of Derwin and Melanie..the show needs to exit right behind it….every site I have been on all the FANS say the same thing….THE GAME needs to go….they rallied to get it back..now they will rally to have it canceled…..

    The show has not been the same since it went to BET. All this “reality” drama ruined the show for me. I was a true die hard fan until it changed from the comedy.

  • Vanee6

    I don’t care who they bring on. It ain’t no one who can take the place of Merwin. I will forever love those 2 and the show will never be the same without them. BET can kick rocks with their new direction BS!

    I don’t care I won’t watch it without Tia and Pooch….Melanie and Dewin where the main reason I watched…I mean I love Jason funny as but, it sadly won’t be the same…I loved the chemisty between Dewin and Melanie…smh BET/Game producers yall messing up big time….

  • IllyPhilly

    Did anyone else NOT like how Merwin story ended if they are gonna leave the show? Who is playing Keira. Rudy Huxtable?

    • Msmykimoto2u

      I hope not. her acting has gone down hill. I vote for Lynn (girlfriends) dating the new guy and rolling in the sunbeams looking all weird and boho and Tasha looking her up and down

  • thegame

    Why is Tia Mowry leaving?

  • Activist1

    The role of Kiera sounds like Raven Symone or Kiesha Knight Pulliam (so?). Why not just cast one of them… Though it probably wouldnt be the best career move because it sounds like this show is on its way out, I haven’t watched it in years…

  • trinigyal

    This is terrible, no more Melanie and Derwin, Jason and Chardonnay stay together and now a new couple!! Dammit BET what are you doing to the only show that used to make me laugh out loud!

  • Tini Boyd

    im glad we all feel the same way…when the show was on the CW channel it was way better…idk wtf is happening now..its dry and lifeless. Love Melanie and Pooch, and I wish you too well because you deserve better roles

  • quest

    They need to just take it off the air. I don’t know how anybody can deal with Tasha and Malik anyway.

  • CutieReppinNY

    They might as well just take it off the air, Melanie and Derwin were the Game. They ruined the show after the fans fought so hard to bring it back.

    • Tini Boyd

      exactly

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000568431083 Telihia Daniels

      my thoughts exactly too!!

    • Msmykimoto2u

      Ive been saying that since they announced it. What a waste of a petition

  • KAHorton2010

    I hate to say it, but the show is dead now! The main love storyline is gone. It’s a wrap. They can try, but this will probably be the last season. The show definitely went downhill when it went to BET.

  • bluekissess

    After that wack season finale I decided not to watch next season. So I really don’t care who they choose

    • Tini Boyd

      indeed
