Travis

What has Tyler Perry done to this character? He has become a stalker with obvious insanity and now from what he has said to Kelly and the reaction of the officer checking the house, Travis has killed Ramsey. Kelly will blame herself for having sex with him after they broke up, but he had to be insane all along and that just pushed him over the edge.

Tyler Perry switches the personality of his characters without justification -- and all for shock value. Eddie went from annoying to a hateful mad man that is now beyond saving. Now Kelly's boyfriend is a stalker and possible killer. None of the characters are written with continuity in mind. This is an area of weakness in story-telling that Mr. Perry needs to work on.

Continuity? So he should have started off an obsessed stalker? Lol.

The retarded criticisms people lob at Tyler never stop making me laugh. Get your own show. Better still, watch another one, if his are so bad.

NO! This is what YOU ARE SAYING!

I am pointing out that Tyler Perry has a bad habit of writing characters without first establishing who he or she is supposed to be. A character can go from being sweet and kind to suddenly someone you no longer recognise. This approach is okay in moderation -- but Mr. Perry overdoes this approach to story-telling and this is very frustrating for the viewer. I have absolutely nothing against Mr. Perry and wish him well in all he does -- yet I have every right to address my observations, whether they are negative or positive about a particular topic, just as YOU and others on this board are always entitled to share thoughts and observations.
