  • Melanie Barnett-Davis​ ​ es un personaje ficticio, interpretado por la actriz Tia Mowry, quien aparece en la comedia estadounidense The Game, que se emitió en CW Television Network y BET de 2006 a 2015. Presentada en un programa en forma de episodio piloto en la comedia Girlfriends como la prima de Joan Clayton (Tracee Ellis Ross), Melanie elige apoyar la carrera de su novio Derwin Davis (Pooch Hall) con los San Diego Sabres, un equipo ficticio de la National Football League (NFL), en lugar de ir a la escuela de medicina en la Universidad Johns Hopkins. La serie se centra principalmente en la complicada relación de Melanie y Derwin, con sus temores de su infidelidad es el centro de muchas de las historias de los episodios. Mowry abandonó la serie en 2012 al enterarse de que su papel se vería reducido como resultado de la decisión de la coprotagonista Pooch Hall de dejar The Game para aparecer en la serie de drama criminal Ray Donovan. Ambos actores repitieron sus roles en el final de la serie, en el que Melanie da a luz a gemelos. Melanie fue creada por la productora Mara Brock Akil. Mientras elegía al personaje, Brock Akil tenía dudas sobre si Mowry sería la mejor opción, dada su imagen sana de Tia Landry en la comedia de situaciones Sister, Sister, pero contrató a la actriz por su sólida ética de trabajo y su deseo de ser parte de la serie. Mowry consideró que el personaje era su primer papel adulto y sintió que enfatizaba su individualidad y madurez. Se identificó estrechamente con el personaje, observando paralelos entre la relación de Melanie con Derwin y su propio matrimonio con el actor Cory Hardrict. Citó The Game como un ejemplo de mujeres que reciben más papeles principales en la televisión. La reacción a Melanie fue principalmente negativa; los críticos expresaron su desaprobación por su decisión de apoyar a su novio en lugar de inscribirse en la escuela de medicina. Los comentaristas de los medios también tomaron una panorámica de la representación del personaje como madre, como su incapacidad para cuidar adecuadamente a su hijastro. Por otro lado, los fanes respondieron positivamente a Melanie y se sintieron atraídos por su relación con Derwin. El desempeño de Mowry recibió comentarios positivos de los críticos, quienes estuvieron de acuerdo en que el papel mostró su madurez como actriz. Recibió nominaciones para dos premios NAACP Image y un premio Teen Choice por el papel. (es)

The series focuses primarily on Melanie and Derwin's complicated relationship, with her fears of his infidelity at the center of many of the episodes' storylines. Mowry left the series in 2012 upon learning that her role would be reduced as a result of co-star Pooch Hall's decision to reduce his role on The Game to appear in the crime drama series Ray Donovan. Both actors reprised their roles in the series finale, in which Melanie gives birth to twins. Melanie was created by producer Mara Brock Akil. While casting the character, Brock Akil had doubts about whether Mowry would be the best choice, given her wholesome image from starring as Tia Landry on the sitcom Sister, Sister, but hired the actress based on her strong work ethic and her desire to be part of the series. Mowry considered the character to be her first adult role and felt it emphasized her individuality and maturity. She identified closely with the part, observing parallels between Melanie's relationship with Derwin and her own marriage to actor Cory Hardrict. She cited The Game as an example of women receiving more lead roles on television. Reaction to Melanie was primarily negative; critics expressed disapproval of her decision to support her boyfriend instead of enrolling in medical school. Media commentators also panned the character's representation as a mother, such as her inability to properly care for her stepson. On the other hand, fans responded positively to Melanie and felt drawn to her relationship with Derwin. Mowry's performance received positive feedback from critics, who agreed that the role displayed her maturity as an actress. She received nominations for two NAACP Image Awards and a Teen Choice Award for the role. (en)
