Has Louise White left STV?

Ever since the East edition took off and sub presenters where dropped she hasn't bee seen.

Normally she presents the Late News on Mondays and Tuesdays but she not even doing that.

I'm sure John tweeted that she is just having some time off just now.

10 days later

John must be off on his hols but weird replacments.

Kelly Ann Bishop on the lunchtime (think that's a first) I would have thought they would have used Juliet from Edinburgh since is was central edition.

And Heather Simpson on the News at 6. Again I think since relaunch this is the first someone apart from John has presented it! I though Louise would be the 1st choice stand in for John.

Ideal world I would have liked to see Rachel McTavish present both Lunchtime and News at 6 if John wasn't on.

Anyone know who will stand in for Juliet in Edinburgh when she goes on Holiday??

Yeah I echo that actually. I think Rachel would be a good stand in if John was ever off.

I noticed that they don't edit the titles, they still have John in them even though he was off. Surely it would make sense to change them to whoever was presenting the 6pm edition, like Heather was tonight so people don't wonder what's going on?

It could be Claire Stewart that stands in for Juliet when she goes on holiday.

Does Heather say - I am Heather Simpson sitting in for John Mackay?

This is what the Yanks do and that is the route STV seem to be following anyway?

No she just said STV News at 6, live from Glasgow. No name check!

I think Rachel might happen. Looking at the trend, its the late new presenter who has been presenting the News at 6. Heather of recent weeks has done Mon to Wed late news with Rachel on Thurs and Fri.

So fingers crossed Rachel will be on the News at 6 on Thurs and Fri!

Is Louise still away, or is she now back on news?

Louise is still absent. I don't think Rachel will get a shot at Six. She is freelance, and there are other reporters/bulletin presenters with more chance as they've been at STV longer. I'm sure Heather will be on all week.

Looks like I was wrong...
