Personally I think that Lucy will remain at granada. I think that she will alternate which the other national presenters to present the weekend bulletins (i.e. friday, saturday and sunday) and also when a relief presenter is needed.

I do think that she will remain at Granada for a long time from now!

What does everybody think of Rachel Phillips - the latest addition to the Granada Reporters team and also a presenter?

I am quite impressed

Oh so that's where she went. She's from the other side of the pennines and mainly reported and presented late bulletins when the regular wasn't there. Sometimes on the main one, too.

What is the point in bringing in new people when they axed Sarah Elliot who was just really starting to bed in due to cost cutting?

Lucy won't leave Granada, she has family up here and has said in the past she wil not leave the north west again.
Was shocked to hear Sarah Elliott had gone, she was very good as cover for Lucy, when Ann wasn't there.

Congrats to Ann O' Connor on her new baby, I wondered where she had gone.

Perhaps Fred only presents a two day week contract and has already? Or is absent. Therefore Granada would have asked Emma to present the forecasts, which would be pre-recorded from ITV Central in Birmingham.

I imagine Emma (ITV Central) and Debbie Lindley (ITV Yorkshire) both who are now freelance will appear occasionally at some point on all ITV regions as most now only have two presenters.

Emma did the weather for ITV Wales last weekend - she used to present the weather frequently at ITV Wales but now they have cut back to 2 presenters too.
