I have been a FAITHFUL fan since the beginning, I love all the characters but Derwin and Melanie are my favorite and without them BOTH coming back for Season6 I will not be watching the show. I just finished watching Tia&Tamara, the episode where Tia finds out about the "changes" being made to The Game and I agree w/ her decision not to come back for a couple of episodes just so they can write off her character. The show was made and centered around Melanie and now we'll never know if she'll have her happily ever after! Ditching the main characters and bringing in new ones to take their place is NOT going to boost ratings, it would be the same as writing off the four main characters of Desperate Housewives and bringing in new characters, after watching them for so long. Once you grow accustom to seeing a character and watching their stories unfold from the beginning , you can't just write them out in a couple of episodes and start a new main character, a new storyline w/out ever finishing the one the show was made for, it's not gonna be good for the show. So I really hope they know what they are doing, best of luck to all the actors and actresses!
