Great to see Judy back on the panel today.

Does anyone know if the ratings have improved at all since the Zseptember relaunch?

So The View has basically reverted back to its old style as quickly as it could.

I have noticed that a small ramp has been added to the set. Is this for Judy Finnigans' benefit? She looked as if she was struggling to walk down it.


When she was in set four she started on the floor rather than riser, she obviously can't do steps for what ever reason, but I cant find out why anywhere!


She probably can but doesn't find it comfortable and therefore would look a bit awkward doing so.

Tomorrow on Loose Women - The last TV interview with Lynda Bellingham:

In fact I think that promo is slightly wrong. As far as I'm aware she didn't actually finish her treatment in the end, she was due one more next month to last her up until Christmas but of course it wasn't to be.

Either way I've got much admiration for Loose Women at the moment who have excelled this week. It was a good show on Monday especially with Coleen and Christopher Biggins.

Tomorrow's show would have been emotional anyway as it was always planned to be shown tomorrow even if Lynda was still alive. Considering recent events it will now be a lot more emotional and poignant.

I noticed a couple of times today that Coleen seemed to be pulling faces at Ruth when Judy spoke or asked the guest a question. It seemed like it was due to them running over time but I think Coleen needs to remember that she's on TV and we can see her!!

The changes must have only come into effect this week judging by last Friday's show:


I like this balance with the desk but the sofa in the background and the pastel colours. The new one seems a bit garish.

I imagine that loose women would need to come from TLS Studio 1 to have a similar space to the view.


As for this week, it was always going to be hard, but they've paid lovely tributes to Lynda, and tomorrow's interview will indeed be very poignant.

They made some initial changes a week into the relaunch, with the background changing to a skyline and the tall table making a return (I think this week's changes have brought a wider table however)

Yesterday's episode got the best ratings in over 2 and a half years:



I am not surprised and it a testament to how popular Lynda was.

I do hope they will take some lessons from the reaction this week. After all of the changes over the last year, perhaps it will show what the audience are after in their Loose Women and topics, honest women talking about real life, and not a political debate, endless changes or chasing a different audience all of the time.

Kaye back on the show today, she seems a lot more natural and generally has more chemistry with the rest of the ladies imo. I still have no idea how Ruth ended up getting the main role, whenever Andrea or kaye are on the show it seems to flow a lot better.
Stedixon and London Lite gave kudos

I agree, I think Ruth is great on This Morning but not a fan of her on LW. Kaye is the original host and like you say, has great chemistry with the others. The show is much better when she is hosting. I really cannot understand why she has been sidelined to make way for both Ruth and Andrea.

I am a big fan of Judy on the show, would love to see her hosting in the same way Gloria stepped up a couple of weeks ago.
