When it comes to TV audience, it seems like a single term but there are sub categories within the term and it is determined based on how a viewer relate to a show. While the topic is general in nature, it is derived based on my experience as viewer of QH.
In general, audience watch soaps to escape from day to day mundane aspects of life and also to derive pleasure of parallel life and emotions that come along such as romance, comedy, angst, guilt through the connection viewer develop with the characters, which some times morphs in to an attachment that is too strong, which can even extend to the actors that are playing the role.
QH have viewers with varied demographics such as age, location, religion, gender and profession but in reality they are bucketed into QH viewers categories not based on demographics but based on how they relate to the show. Few watched for characters and the story ( category 1) few watched for the leads (category 2) few watched for story as well as the leads ( category 3) and few even watched for the heck of it ( category 4). The Fourth category is just interested in killing some time and have no targeted expectations from the show. First 3 categories have specific expectations from the show and if they are not met then they cease to exist as the show viewers. Lets get in to the detailed analysis of what each of first 3 categories are expecting and what QH have to offer at this moment.
Category 1: Expect a tight knit story with progressive characters and relatable performances. QH is currently able to sufficiently satisfy this group with its fast paced story telling and decent performances.
Category 2: Expect to see certain actors to portray certain characters. QH replaced its main lead and as a result can't offer this group's core requirement.
Category 3: Not only expect good content but also specific about actors playing the specific role. This group can still derive some entertainment from current QH but they may be still debating in accepting the actors/replacements.
Depending on which category you belong QH may or may not be able to offer entertainment to you at this juncture. Every one are entitled to their likings but at the same time it is essential to respect each others feelings too. There are so many topics that turned in to fights on the forum recently, which prompted me to make this post. A healthy or even a funny debate is entertaining but we should not fight among ourselves to an extent of hurting others feeling just because we don't watch QH for same reasons. Live and let live should be our motto, shows are for our entertainment and life is too short to have grudge worth fights over fictional shows, media and actors.
I have no intention to hurt any particular group feelings, if you disagree with me please express it in a civil manner or agree to disagree and ignore my post.
PS: On public demand, including category 5 - This group watch shows exclusively for eye candies, acting talent is not a must have.
