Netizens were disappointed by the news, saying Charmaine's absence would hurt the show's numbers.
@LadyTee_Maimane advised:
"She should go & tell her story on @podcastwithmacg from her days on Generations to this firing & everything in between."
@Melo_Malebo observed:
"We should’ve known from when they made her disappear only to come back looking like a zombie. Nonetheless, I‘m still looking forward to how she’s gonna save Thandiswa from Caeser."
@DonaldMakhasane asked:
"Don't they know that the show will go with her?"
@ReneilweSR advised:
"They should just call it quits. If it's not them changing Ceasor 3 times it's them firing umamNomeva."
@BuhleTheFirst assumed:
"She said, "I want a raise." They said "nope". So she, said "I'm gonna walk out and take all of your viewers with me, don't try me." Then they said, "We've got a hundred more like you, bxtch bye".. And now we're here."
@JabzinSA added:
"This show should have ended in the current Season 2; no need to have Season 3 because even their storylines are off and messy now. It's boring now. also, changing Caeser in season 3, Hlomla is going after he replaced Zolisa Xaluva as Caeser's Character. #etvsmokeandmirrors."
