LONDON 3 December 2004 4:45pm

I have just watched the Lunchtime BBC London news on the internet and Ashad said at the end of the bulletin that Helen Morten would be presenting the main evening bulletin tonight. Does he mean Helen Fospero, from Look North Hull, who has been presenting the Sunday Bulletin. If he does this is the first time she has done the flagship bulletin isn't it?

Could well be - she does have Friday off Look North, and has done for a number of months... we'll probably get Helen Philpot tonight.

There are rumours that she's off to London permanently... will tune in to BBC London on Sky and see what she's like down south!

Could this lead to Emily being moved onto Breakfast/N24?

Don't know to be honest, I wonder that IF Helen moves, who we'd get as a replacement? Philpot? Hannah Moffatt? Me?

I thought I recognised her!

I presume if she is staying, that she'll fill the space left by Nina Hossain - so I doubt we'll be losing Emily to Breakfast just yet.

Since she came back from Maternity leave she's only been doing Monday - Thursday

That was WELL WEIRD! Both my parents jokingly said 'traitor!' to the screen when they saw her!

And none of you were traitors for watching it in the first place!?
