"Good Morning America” viewers are not taking kindly to T.J. Holmes’ absence.
The fanbase is strong with Holmes.
Since Amy Robach and Holmes’ affair came to light in late November, the co-anchors have been replaced with Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez on “GMA3” until further notice.
'GMA' Fans Revolt Amid Robach/Holmes Scandal
However, late last week, Benitez was out and DeMarco Morgan filled in on the third hour of morning show program.
To begin, fans were NOT happy about Holmes and Robach being temporarily suspended from their jobs, and when Morgan filled in for Benitez, all hell broke loose on Twitter.
“I am no longer going to watch GMA OR GMA3. TJ NEED TO BE REINSTATED! It’s not against the law to have sex with consenting adults!” one fan tweeted.
“Why is DeMarco Morgan trying hard to sound like TJ Holmes? #GMA3,” another questioned.
Another noted how Morgan is trying too hard to be like Holmes writing, “DeMarco Morgan really does sound like TJ Holmes. If I am not in front of my tv… I think that TJ is talking #tjholmes #gma3.”

Others tweeted “Really ?! With all the s**t goin on - you get rid of TJ ? Come on” and “Don't even watch anymore because of it."
The Blast recently reported the latest news of ABC News’ latest decision regarding to co-anchor’s time on-air.
On December 12th, Godwin issued a company-wide email giving an update on Robach and Holmes’ on-air status, and it’s not looking good.
“Amy and T.J. will remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review, and there will be a rotation of anchors at GMA3 for the time being,” read an email obtained by Page Six.
The CEO thanked staffers for staying focused amid the “distracting” media coverage of the co-anchor’s affair.
She noted the ABC News team does “important work.”

“It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best, and I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism,” she wrote.
ABC News staffers and on-air personality are royally pissed about Robach and Holmes’ scandalous relationship.
“No one at ABC likes the way Amy and T.J. handled it,” one insider told PS, adding that Robach’s “20/20” co-anchor David Muir in particular “wants no part” of the drama.
To add more insult to injury, Holmes reportedly had several affairs with ‘GMA’ and ABC employees throughout his years at the network.
The once-cherished anchor is now being investigated by the network for his affair with Robach and several other colleagues.
According to reports, ABC’s investigative bells began ringing after news of his relationship with Robach, producer Natasha Singh and at least one other staffer hit the press.
The human resources department is looking into the philandering co-anchors past with the company to see if he had any other relationship with staffers underneath him.
“It’s one thing for him to have a relationship with another anchor,” an insider told Page Six. “The question is whether he violated company rules by dating less senior employees.”
ABC News chief, Kim Godwin, seemed to hint at a “no stone unturned” approach to Robach and Holmes’ scandal during a company-wide meeting.
