I'm confused too, cause just in SOD this week AM even said she was returning after her leave.

The poll is confusing because from everything we've been told Alicia Minshew will return after her leave. Therefore I voted for Thorsten Kaye. That being said I will miss them both equally. The show will never be the same without these two talented stars. This is one fan who hopes that all possible efforts will be made to keep both of them. This show needs romantic, entertaining couples and Zendall is the best.

I found the poll confusing too. I voted for Thorsten since he is leaving and since we have been told that Alicia is only on maternity leave and will be back. I will miss both of them equally and I am hoping that one day things will change and we will see them again as my favorite couple Zach and Kendall Slater. They are the reason I started to watch the show and I am very sad that I won't be seeing them together on AMC when the show moves to LA.

No question, I'm going to miss both AM and TK when they leave AMC. They're a package deal for me and if there's no Zendall, I won't be watching. I wish I could have voted for both of them in the poll question, but I also voted for TK as he is not making the commute at this time. I hope that in a few months, that might change. Hope springs eternal!I'm glad AM is planning on returning to AMC after her maternity leave, but if she is on the show without TK, I'm not sure I'll be able to watch.

Like everyone else, I am under the impression that Alicia Minshew is expected to return to her role as Kendall on AMC after an extended maternity leave, thus I voted for Thorsten Kaye in your poll. I will miss them both equally if they leave AMC, but unfortunately your poll only allows us to vote for one. Once Zach and Kendall are gone from AMC, so will I.

Add me to the list of confused..... I voted for TK, but for me it's both....Once TK/AM are off my TV screen, my TV will be turned onto something else....No more AMC for me...What really saddens and angers me is that [censored] know that both TK/AM are leaving, TK for good and AM on maturnity leave, but they continue to keep them separated....Instead of giving the fans who have tuned in, even at the worst of times, which has been daily since Pratt started, they would give us, TK/AM/Zendall the payoff they rightfully deserve...Instead, after 3 years of separation, 3 years of uninteresting, unwanted interlopers shoved down Zen's & our throats...After comas, the constant Ryan infestation, sperm donations, confused bi-sexual lesbians, Ryan infestation, Fake Liza, we get one a 30 second slot of happy, together Zen, then they are apart again...What would be wrong with having Zach/Kendall together in this story, then ride off into the sunset to live happily ever after....What would be wrong with allowing some payoff for fans...I'll tell you what would be wrong with that, [censored] don't want an increase in ratings....I will be leaving AMC after 35+ years once TK/AM are gone..I have no desire to tune into to see the vomit inducing triagle of RyGranLee suck the life out of the show...I have no desire to watch Fake Liza doing anything...I have no desire to see Jangie wasted...Nope, this was a time when Pratt could have, maybe given Zen fans a reason to want to watch after TK/AM leave.....by just showing that if you tune in long enough, Yes, there will be payoff, but instead, he choose this crap...I love what TK/AM are doing... I thank them for giving us two wonderful characters to love and a couple that surpasses any couple AMC has ever had, even with destructive, lazy writing....But, like many I will be tuning out when they leave.... this was the time to maybe give me a reason to watch once they are gone, but Pratt failed again...I vote for TK/AM as the two who will be missed the most.....it's a tie and it's going to cost AMC dearly....AMC will not be the same without Zach/Kendall/Zendall ...The two most talented actors in daytime are leaving and their fans will follow...

I'm the one who posted the poll, and I debated whether to put Alicia on it or not! In the end, I went with "yes," because while her exit may not be permanent, she'll be gone for a decent chunk of time and people might miss her!

There might be people who aren't aware she's returning(cause of all the conflicting info out there)

I'd have loved to have been able to vote for both TK and AM cause I'll miss them equally

Mala, thank you for the explanation. I know your polls are not meant to be scientific studies that try to ensure the greatest accuracy possible though you do take some precautions to guard against ballot stuffing, but I'm afraid that your results should come with an asterik. As you can see just from the comments here that people selected Thorsten Kaye over Alicia Minshew not because of greater favortism for Mr. Kaye (though I'm sure there are many people who voted that way because of that reason), but because Alicia Minshew simply didn't belong on the list. Her situation is different. It's like having a poll where you ask: "Which shade of blue do you like best?" and you have five different shades of blue and one shade of purple. One choice simply does not fit.I know for myself I will miss BOTH actors equally. I wish we could have selected two and that SOW understands the confusion that was generated and why some people voted the way they did.Thanks again for responding.

ITA....and Thank You Mala for responding & explaining...I love both TK/AM and both will be a great loss to the show and missed by fans...I also wish we could have picked both.....TK is gone for good and we really don't know if AM will be back permanently or to just rap things up...Right now, and I really hate to say this, but with Pratt at the helm I hope that some smart exec hires them both and they stay away from the mess that Pratt has turned AMC into...

I have to agree completely with this. AM IMO doesn't belong on this kind of a poll.

Hope springs eternal!I'm glad AM is planning on returning to AMC after her maternity leave, but if she is on the show without TK, I'm not sure I'll be able to watch. I agree. It will definitely be hard for me to keep watching the show without Thorsten and Alicia. Zach and Kendall bring a lot to the show both as a couple and as individual characters.I will miss seeing both of them in Pine Valley and hope they both will return someday, hopefully TOGETHER in the same storyline and will ACTUALLY share scenes together.

omg i hope they have them leave together expecting a child then kendall can come back saying Zach passed away or something like that this way they can have a happy ending with a tragic turn that brings kendall back. KWIM.Please dont be dumb enough to not let them at least leave together people will tune into that.

It took all these months for Zach to even kiss Kendall, so I don't think we can look for a pregnancy any time soon. At the rate they're moving, there's no time. It's been hinted that the Zach/Kendall fans will be pleased with the storyline before the move, so let's see if he puts his money (or writing) where his mouth is.

I voted for TK - but will miss AM as well. My viewing days of AMC ends when both actors exit the show at the end of the year.If there is no TK / AM and no Zen, there is no AMC for me.

I will miss them both equally. They are the reason I watch the show.
