Tyler Perry’s career as a TV producer came full circle earlier this year, when the first series he became truly known for, “House of Payne,” returned to the airwaves after an almost decade-long absence.

In 2006, Perry produced 10 syndicated episodes of “House of Payne” before TBS picked up the series for an additional 90. Tyler Perry Studios president of production and development Michelle Sneed, who has worked with Perry since 2009, says an order of that magnitude was “groundbreaking and unprecedented.”

TV show description:

Created by Tyler Perry and a loosely a spin-off of the movie The Single Moms Club, this soap opera revolves around the relationships of five diverse and married couples who live on Castillo Lane in a middle-class area of the fictional community of Maxine.

On the surface they are true-to-life, relatable people—raising children, working jobs, finding and maintaining romance. However, just below the veneer of happiness, we see that their lives are entangled by heartbreak, deceit, and lies.

The residents of Castillo Lane played out their final scandals on Tuesday with the series finale of Tyler Perry’s If Loving You Is Wrong — but not everyone made it out alive.

At least three major characters met their demise in the OWN drama’s final hour, with several others left somewhat in question. Read on for a full recap of what (and who) went down in the series finale, appropriately titled “Boom”:
