A third commented: "It's always super nice to see Sam on GMA."

But viewers were split as some called for Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes to return.

One said: "Bring TJ and Amy back" as they branded the decision to remove them "ridiculous."

Another posted: "Amy Robach! She's real. Needs to be back on air."

The GMA3 hosts have been sidelined after reports of their alleged romance sent shockwaves through the program.

An ABC memo, seen by DailyMail.com, has claimed that Robach and Holmes will be off-air until the network’s “internal review” has concluded.

The claims first emerged last month and the pair were reportedly snapped on a series of PDA-filled dates, according to bombshell pictures obtained by the outlet.

Holmes and Robach even enjoyed a weekend together, it was reported.

They were also caught apparently spending time together at each other's apartments in Manhattan.

Robach has reportedly moved out of her $5.2million marital home and has been seen pictured with huge T.J. Maxx shopping bags.

Her daughter tagged along, but her ex-husband Andrew Shue, and Holmes were nowhere to be seen.

Many wondered if the T.J. in the "T.J Maxx" was a reference to her colleague.

Holmes and Robach both abruptly deleted their social media pages as rumors of their alleged fling emerged.

Robach’s 20/20 co-star David Muir “wants no part” in the drama, sources told Page Six.

They said: “He’s not having it. He’s the face of the evening news and nothing about him ever makes it into the papers.

“He’s very private and no one at ABC likes the way Amy and T.J. have handled it.”

An ABC source reportedly told the outlet: “David is focused on the work, not any of this.”

Robach and Holmes are known among viewers for their on-screen chemistry.

They struck up a friendship outside of work as they bonded over their love of running and fitness.

Robach and Holmes ran the New York City Marathon together, and she shared photos of them crossing the finish line side by side.
