There were many mixed emotions amongst fans when Kourtney revealed her decision to back down from her family’s reality television show.

Many fans and viewers are very curious about how the long-running series Keeping Up With the Kardashians plans to handle and address Kourtney’s noted absence as the show moves forward. After all, her presence will be missed by many fans, to say the least.

This Reddit thread captures some of the theories and thoughts of fans as they try to grapple with the sudden change in the show. One viewer expressed that Kourtney’s role on the show is simply irreplaceable.

The comment stated: “Kourtney was the backbone of the whole show. She was the only one who was truly willing to live her life on reality TV in the way the medium demands. There is no replacing her unless everyone starts getting way more chill about actually being on television.”

In addition, many fans don’t seem very hopeful that Kylie or Kendall will use this as an opportunity to step-up on the series.

One user wrote, “Kylie seems super selective in how much she shows of her own life.”

Many fans were unable to hide their disappointment, but some fans and viewers did seem hopeful that the show would be able to fill the void in her absence.
