Unpopular characters getting killed/written off is pretty common, specially when the ratings are bad.

Fandom may not have as much influence as some people think, but saying that fan's opinion have no influence is... rather ignorant.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't conflate fandom and viewers, not the same thing. A large section of a show's audience not responding favourably to character may certainly influence show runners. The intersection of fandom and general audience is, no doubt, growing, depending on the show and its genre, still I think fandom vastly overestimates its influence. It is kinda interesting,though, especially if you come from the days when the first rule of fandom was 'don't talk about fandom', and fondly remember the smackdowns when someone dared suggest exposing their favs to fanfic. Sigh, those were the days; now where are my Werthers.

But I'm not?
Fandom is a visible part of the viewers, and as such holds some weight (probably more than the passive audience, whose reasons for watching/not watching can only be guessed). How much depends on other factors obvs.

[(Anonymous)]

Merely being visible (or vocal about it online) doesn't really have a weight because the people who make TV shows don't measure their success by visibility or how active a fandom is, though. They still use Nielsen ratings. If nobody in fandom is selected to participate, their feedback doesn't count for a whole lot, especially when weighed against the people who are selected in the Nielsen ratings. This is why that yes, fandom is a subset of viewers, but they're not necessarily a representative subset and their opinions are not considered as such by creators.
