The public spectacle of the pair's romance is an internal and external distraction, despite the fact that the coworkers did not violate any company rules.

"While that relationship is not a violation of company policy, I have taken the last few days to think about and work through what I think is best for the ABC News organization," he said. We need to stop whispering in the hallways. We cannot operate with gossip and speculation. Staying focused on the work is what we need to do.

The decision to take the couple off of the air came after photos of Robach andHolmes, who are both married to other people, were published. Most of the fans of the show seem to be in favor of the couple in the long run.

The whole TJ Holmes and Amy Robach just reminds me of American romcoms especially Christmas ones. No wonder people are rooting for them.

The two continued to film the show, as usual, last Friday, whereHolmes joked that it had been a great week.

The decision to not immediately take Robach and Holmes off the air was reportedly deliberate, in order to get higher ratings, after all, viewers were interested in how the couple acted in light of their affair being made public.

The afternoon version of Good Morning America, co-hosted by the pair, generated over forty million dollars in advertising in the year 2011. The show was the top ranked show in total viewers in May of this year.

There is no confirmation on whether or not the two replacements will become permanent replacements. Both Robach andHolmes have not made a public statement.
