This is the another thing which keeps me wondering - do the creators look into popularity of the characters or do they just follow their own vision? I suppose they compare who is popular and who is not, but can they be actually influenced by the fan's opinions to make or cancel certain storylines?
I think it depends on the individual creators/producers but fan reactions definitely can influence things especially when the showrunner is someone like a Rob Thomas(of VM) or a Joss Wheadon(Buffy,Angel,Firefly) who are active online and pay attention to the fanbase. RI remember seeing Rob Thomas saying that the majority of the fanbase will not except Veronica and Logan with any other characters be it Hannah, Leo, Duncan whoever. and while I am glad Duncan is gone and I know that you are a Logan/Veronica shipper(and I respect that and their fans I mean I was S1 and they do have fabulous chemistry), that actually kind of bugs me. because I have a lot of issues with L/V. and I will probably be elaborating on that topic on my LJ after I get the S2 DVD set. I plan on watching S1 and S2 back to back. so expect a really long VM post from me soon
